RE: Its not worth it, I quit!
ORIGINAL: GMMAT I'm with GR8. I'd go hunt where I wanted to on MY lease and I wouldn't tell nor would I feel the need tell anyone, anything. That being said.....here's an important tidbit of info. I think we all need. If you two weren't family.....and you had a falling out......who had the lease, first? I guess I'm asking.....who has the relationship witht he landowner? At first i was like you, Greg.....just let it be. NOW....He's kinda pissing me off...and I KNOW you're pissed (probably more disappointed than anything, though.....really). |
RE: Its not worth it, I quit!
txjourneyman, go check out your new spot,I hope it is 10x better than your BIL's spot. Don't tell your BIL anything from now on, what you see where you hunt, what you got. I wouldn't put it past that SOB to try and hog on your new spot and screw things up for you. 100 acres is good for one guy. Best of luck to you. Keep doing stuff for that land owner too he will remember that and take care of you too in the long run.

RE: Its not worth it, I quit!
ORIGINAL: txjourneyman I've mentioned before he has been on the lease for 20 years. 5 years for me. And I am much more disappointed than mad. I have a very good relationship with the landowner. He has another tract of land, a little over 100 acres that he has hinted about letting me bow hunt. It is behind his house and he wants no guns there. It hasn't been hunted in 20 years. I'll be talking to him Saturday about an exclusive lease. He really likes the fact that I did some free electrical work in his barn and that I only bow hunt. And if you continue to hunt down in the bottom on your current lease, then don't give your daily report to your BIL. I have had similar situation where alandowner has let me hunt his place, I saw a shooter but no shot, tell him what I saw, the next day he tells me he is hunting that stand in the evening. Kind of a crappy situation but thats whyI don't huntthat placeanymore. |
RE: Its not worth it, I quit!
Man, you would think you and your brother in law would be in hunting heaven having the lease between the two of you. Planning strategies together and trying to help eachother out. Its completely dispicable that people are so selfish, but what can you do. If someone ever made hunting stressful for me, i would definately remove them from my presence. Good luck buddy.

ORIGINAL: atlasman If it is not fun...............don't do it. Family stress should NEVER come up over a stupid deer. |
RE: Its not worth it, I quit!
I guess I'm lucky that my BIL and I are both hunters who are considerate of each other for the most part, and work well together. But, I can tell you that it didn't happen overnight. We have been hunting together for the last thirty-five years and it has just been in the last five that we have come to the point of being more like brothers than in-laws.

txjourneyman---I have these kinds of talks with my wife all the time man...my wife is one of the nicest, kindest people you will ever meet and backs down in these types of situations.......this is what I tell her, listen to me tx....tell them to go kiss your ass! Let me repeat that..tell him to kiss your ass! BIL's are supposed to be nice to each other, caring for the success of the other. He is being downright rude, mean, and selfish. Tell your wife what you are gonna do and tell her why. Bowhunting is your passion and he is ruining it by being a complete mother f'er about land that you paid for! Sorry about my response but bullies and/or a-holes really upset me. I consider that type of talk to be grounds of putting the fists up...thats just me. I WISH you the best of luck txjourneyman...I am in your boat too brother, hunting for bigger bucks in tough areas.
