AR 34
Did you talk to the landowner before pulling your stands?? Are you sure this is for real?? You had a verbal contract with the landowner and it was up to " him " to inform you that you no longer could hunt his/her property. If you had it in writting that would have been even better!! Only the landowner had a "right" to end your hunting there. NOT THEM!! Lease or no lease!! What they pulled was dirty. Do you have hunter harassment laws in your state?? I would think this would fall under that. They should have at least let you finish the hunt before even talking to you, contacted you previously or had the owner contact you!! I would have told them... When the landowner tells me I can't hunt here then I will leave. Until then any and all harashment from you guys will be reported to the Warden starting with this incident.
The only thing they could do was contact the landowner to have him contact you since you were granted permission for this year by the landowner. You had every right to be there and it wasn't your responsiblity to contact the landowner from their say so. I wouldn't have left nor pulled my stands until the landowner contacted me.
I would not have made it easy for them at all !! What a bunch of scum!! I would have been POed to say the least. I am POed now and it didn't even happen to me. What a bunch of slobs!! Doing business with them again would never happen and everyone would know about it and why!!
You did at least walk through all the good bedding areas... " looking " for that stand you just can't quite remember was placed. Trust me, I would have walked ever inch of ground wasting their time and " accidently " kicking up deer to make their hunting suck for at least a few days. Three guys walking around can do more damaged then good scenting up the place when it comes to bowhunting.
I hope you find another spot just as good or better. Even though you aren't on my team and not that it matters in the least, I hope you arrow a monster. Should the happen, I know the first place I would go to show it off!!

Good luck on your season.
