You siad it yourself. "deer hate that"
He knows this too.
If this guy is an antler addict and has had deer in magazines, he knows how to up the odds.
Leaving the hay grow up decreases the odds you will even see the deer. I'm assuming he knowws you like to hunt the hay fields. If you can't see them, you won't be shooting "his deer".
How do you solve this? You will have to have a civil chat with him. Tell him that you do not want the corn plowed under and want the hay cut down. Tell him if he can't do things your way, maybe it is time to part ways. Thank him and shake his hand.
Personally, I'd find any way i could to lose this guy and get the other guy to do it.
Sounds like you could be sitting on a gold mine and not know it.
(Oh, what I'd do if I had such a piece of land)
That is what I was thinking. Honestly when I first wrote this I was upset and after reading and talking to some people. Im just spoiled rotten. I should be thankful for having some land to hunt. Yes Im in charge of the hunting. Grandpa doesn't hunt and my father once in awhile will hunt if he can. Otherwise its just me and occasionally my father. Even though the neighbor has been doing this for awhile we still end up taking a couple nice bucks and some does off the property. So I guess as long as we are seeing deer I might just leave it alone because I believe in Karma. And one day, who knows the neighbor's big boys will be following our little hot does during the rut. And hopefully the slicktrick will find its mark
