Still in the process of tracking down the other hunters.......I know vehicle styles and at least one first name and that guy apparently according to the tenant either works or worked for the owner at one time.
The other guy I have permission with on these farms is a long time neighbor of the actual farm owner. He is going to stop by tonight to see what he can find out.

The property is not posted at all, which leads me to believe the farmer doesn't particularly care for deer.
Either that or he just assumes that everyone in the area knows who's land they are on.

If I decide to hang a stand or 2 this weekend I am going to lock them up (which doesn't always help) but I was also planning to do as Dave suggested.......I already have copies of the signed permission letter ready to go and plan to tape one to any of the climbing sticks I use in a zip lock bag. The guy I'm hunting with is going to mention that to the landowner tonight as well.

My biggest worry about losing stands would be from an unknowing relative/friend who might think I am a trespasser. Hence the reason why I had planned to leave a permission slip at any location I set.
(I'll also have my DL# etched into anything I leave.....just in case.

Hopefully if I am sharing the woods with a few guys, that at the very least we can develop a sort of agreement or way to co-exist......who knows I may get a new hunting buddy out of it, but knowing how protective guys can be over "their" spots, I'm not counting on it.

I just hope it doesn't end up like "Combat" hunting. I ended up in a pretty ugly situation once before over a real jacka$$ that was purposely sabotaging hunts. Ugly for him.

Too many guys around here treat hunting like fishing for stocked trout.........elbow to butthole and "I'm gettin' mine".[:@]
