Frustrating Hunting
I love hunting with my family. But it can be so frustrating at times. We all hunt on a family farm. I put in tons of work in the early preseason by food plots, hanging my stands, putting cameras up, and glassing from afar so not to bump deer.
The family would love to kill some nice bucks we have some nice YOUNG deer. I keep telling them just give him a year or two and he will be a stud. Their response " I dont know if can let a buck like that go" That gets under my skin. They are killing their chances on killing the deer they are looking for. I have video of bucks i let pass and seen on trailcam the this year and a def shooters.
The work i put in gets thrown in the trash about a month from season opener. Thats when they decided to put up cams and treestands, 100yds from me. Every stand I put up they hunt out of my back pocket. Cause they know I put in the work and know the deer. They also check the cams every week and not in the middle of the afternoon. Right when its time they are coming to the field. Just this past weekend they checked cams and put some Crush attractant out Which is illegal. I told them they shouldn't do that but they are family and not about to stir the pot.
I just need to win powerball then buy my own farm and have ppl with the same hunting mindset and deer management as me.
Love my family but hunting with them is very frustrating. Sorry I just needed to vent a bit.
