Property owners can be strange. When they tell you to do something, even if it sticks in your craw, all you can do is smile and agree if you want to keep hunting there. I usually works out anyway. Something to do is if your new spot is a bust, you can take a "walk" and happen over to that area just before the end of the day.

When I was a young man I had permission to hunt some excellent property in southwestern Wisconsin. I walked (grouse hunting) that land for days, working out deer routes, and finding feeding and bedding areas. I made the mistake of telling the owners son of my find.

We arrived at deer camp the evening before opening, and the owner of the land (who hunted also) announced that I was going to have to move out of that valley because his son was going to take my stand. Well needless to say, I was upset. But I had scouted well, and knew of a different valley to hunt.

The son ended up shooting a large buck that morning and I also shot a large buck. As we were in camp that night telling the stories of the day's hunt, this kid started bragging about his stand, etc. Well it made me mad. I mentioned it was a good thing that I was not to lazy to work out and study the land because he'd never got off his fat */<> to do anything but steal my stand. Needless to say it was the last year they let me hunt there.
