Default RE: overstaying your welcome

The simple fact is if he has killed his limit he should be done. Now if he is taking other people in there to hunt that is a different story. Personally landowners need to be upfront with hunters. For one the hunter was kind enough to ask to hunt instead of just going and hunting without asking. The least the landowner can do is be upfront. If you only want him to hunt one week, tell him. If he's allowed to hunt all year tell him. Personally when I ask to hunt a spot and the owner says yes and doesn't give me any time restrictions, I will hunt it throughout the season until the last day or until I shoot my limit. I hunted one farm farm and after the third time I hunted there, she left a note on my windshield saying that I was not welcomed back. I went to her house and asked her why and she said because she told me I could only hunt for one day, which she did not tell me. So I got kicked out of that spot, but I hunt the farm that backs up next to it which is bigger, so it didn't make a difference. Just goes to show not all the time it is the sportsman's fault. IN this case it is, but I have had my share of experiences like the one I just told which was not my fault. Another thing I do is ask if I can take a friend with me. Sometimes I might want to take my dad or my bud with me and most of the time it's not a problem as long as you are upfront. Hunters should be upfront to the landowners and vice versa.
