Default RE: Posted Property

First of all, welcome to the forum.
Second, can you blame him? Once when I was younger, me and my dad had a place on the river where we had permission to fish and had good access to put a boat in the river. We used it for about 10-12 years until one of the farm hands sons threw a party out there and it got busted by the police (turned out not to be the first time). The gate got closed and locked. We put in many hours of fishing and taking care of the property always making sure we left it better than we found it when we arrived. As bad as that sucks, I'm sure the land owner finally got sick and tired of cleaning up the hundereds of beer cans and all the other trash so his cattle wouldn't get injured. If I was in his shoes I may have done the same thing. Goes the same with your hunting property owner. It's really bad shoes to be in, but you can't control what other people do. With that being said, you can control what you do. You can seperate yourself from the other hunters there and form a good releationship with the landowner above just being one of the guys who he lets hunt there. I beleive good deeds, good conversation and maybe a nice christmas gift (even if it's a basket full of deer meat) can seperate you from the rest. Let him know that you are appreciative for the opportunity he has given you and maybe you can get back in. It's worth a try. What do you have to lose now? All he can say is no, which will be no different than the situation your in.
