I will just say there is more to this than just keeping a guy from seeing deer

As he and I have had a few go arounds and we are pretty sure he is the one that stole all the land owners ( his son ) treestands a few years back
As he was bragging about the cheap tree stands someone left for him

Not afraid of messing up the area
As the stand is on the very back edge of the land
And just getting to the area from my acess point would mean walking through the 2 bedding areas

Or a long canoe trip

As for doing anything to his stand
That is not going to happen

I may hate the guy , but I have some ethics

But I did get permission from the land owner to cross his land to spray some weeds and clean the ditch out
He is just against hunting , but is convinced the stand isn't doing any harm


So yesterday we sprayed the weeds along the property line and in a 50 yd radius around the stand .....with a mix of milk , eggs and hot pepper oil

Stayed away from the stand a few feet , as to not touch it

Yes I am being petty about this , but the land owner wanted to do more
