RE: My dilema, The plot thickens....
If they only gun hunt and you decide to be nice and let them hunt there, just give them some rules like said above. I hunt a friends land during gun season and he has rules, and I abide by them. It really isn't that big of a problem. I can't shoot does, I can take one buck, and it must be at least a six point or better, preferably better, like an 8 point and up. And we don't roam around the property, we each have our own blind on different ends of the property and we stay there unless we shoot something. There are three of us on 50 acres.
If they can't follow a few simple rules, then they can hunt somewhere else I guess. It beats having to pay a large sum of money in order to hunt. Just let them know why you are doing it is all.
