Hhmmmmmmm......................

Griggster, you clearly state......."Anyway I walked through the property to see what's going on...." Then when confronted by Bob D you say tou were on the neighbor's property, well, make up your mind (or story as it goes along) Dude. If you were on your neighbor's property then I would think from the "flavor" of your post that you would have "boasted", or, eh, I mean "posted" that you had the neighbors permission?

As for Sunday hunting, your neighbor says he saw him there on Sundays. Was he hunting, or just maybe scouting? (It seems that you have decided to make up your own story that he was probobly supplementing his bait piles then, right? Maybe you are just ass-suming?)

"He told my other neighbor in the middle of our 2 week rifle season that he had killed 4 deer. The limit here is 5 per season. He continued to hunt the rest of the season & 'we heard some shots in the vicinity he was hunting'" (How do you know he connected and got the 1 additional deer to bring his total up to 5? How do you know, for sure, it was even him doing the shooting? You said yourself that his wife used to hunt, how do you know it wasn't her out there? Not only those last days, but other days as well? Maybe it WAS him and he missed?

How do you know he doesn't have permission to go ahead and shoot across the fence? (Oh, go ahead and add that in now, I mean if it's good for your story at this time.)

Just because you have choosen to practice what YOU consider "QDM" on your (big 'ol) 300 acre doesn't mean squat as far as what he chooses to shoot on his iddy biddy piece of property. How do you know he has (is) shooting "smaller" bucks (than you elect to), all of a sudden the story changes.................. Maybe he has shot nothong but does. What disd the "neighbors" say about this?

I think that there might be a good chance that there is something drawing alot of the deer in the area to his little property that ticks you off cause regardless of your "QDM" efforts, the deer continue to frequent his place. Maybe standing corn or something like a good water source.

I have to wonder what the "neighbors" are saying about you. Maybe they are more in touch (and "aligned") with him than you.

If there is one thing about sour grapes, it is they always leave a sour taste in your mouth.

Maybe I'm a little off here, I mean just a little. but if I am........I hereby reserve the sole right and privledge to change my story as it goes along.

I think tissues are on sale at Wal-Mart.
