I am on a lease that for the most part all are good hunters, we have 1200 acres with 9 of us hunting it. A few of the guys are gun only hunters and I would say that they affect it a lot. Not in a bad way though, like PT said they push deer to me, I am lucky I have the biggest section of land to the tune of 400acresto myself, it is in the very back of the property that is the most remote as well as the thickest woods on the ranch. We all have our sections that we hunt and it doesn't change, they don't enter my section and I don't enter theirs...Works out for me well being all the way in the back of the place, if they leave their stand early, go in smelling like a good ol camp fire or anything along those lines the deer have but one direction to head....To me!!!!!!! Nobody else hunts my stands, so that is not an issue in our set up....This particular group of guys are all management minded and we have created rules to abide by in that area, so we don't have any issues there either...Works out pretty good, all in all....
