Hey Boss,

I've never seen you before. Welcome.

How big was your lease? If there is some decent acerage there you may still be o.k. Do you personally know the owner of the property? If so and they are putting in a subdivision see if you can get an exclusive of what remaining woodlands exist. Let's face it , the deer have to go somewhere. If they leave 5 acers of forrest you may find the deer condensed into a smaller aera makeing the (possiably) easier to hunt.

I know the feeling of urban sprall destroying a hunting aera. I have a 3 acre parcel that has the best funnel I've ever hunted. Over the past 7 or 8 years 6 single homes and one subdivision popped up all around my lot. I've found this just changed the deers travel routes but the are still in my honey hole. But, then there are dogs. I had an issue with a neighbor last year to the point I had to call the animal control officer before the people would leash their damn dog. It's pretty discoraging but hang in there. Talk to the owners and see if there is still a way to get in there. This is the beauty of bow hunting is most people will never know your there.
