RE: Aggrevating Situation
Who really cares if someone shoots a deer on your property. Obviously, nobody wants trespassers wandering around, but if they're hunting from their own ground, and shoot into yours, who really cares?
I just think you're all being greedy. The deer are free ranging animals, owned by nobody. Let's not get carried away with acting like because we own the property, we own the animals.
Let the guys hunt in peace. If you really like to hunt that area, go do it. If you screw up his hunt enough times, he won't be back. Use your skill and cunning to tag out. Too many guys try to monopolize on the good hunting spots and it's just bad for everyone.
We're all just squirrels trying to get a nut. We have three or four months of deer season to work with - they won't be there every day. I just see no reason for the greed, given the liberal opportunities we're all given with archery, blackpowder, rifle, crossbow, shotgun seasons.
If it were me, I would have asked you first, but lots of guys aren't so thoughtful.
