Devastated...
Need to vent, I'm so sick right now. Placed a call to the owner of one of my hunting spots yesterday to touch base with him. Usually see him once or twice a season, but this year didn't see him at all and wanted to make sure everything was okay. He just left me a message telling me that the people who bought the property adjacent and to the rear of him told him that they caught a couple of people hunting their property and they said that he gave them permission to be there. He also said that he didn't think it would be a good idea to hunt there anymore. I'm completely crushed right now. Its one of my go to spots. I've been hunting it since '96. I've also been hunting a real good buck in there for the last 2 years. I just left him another message explaining that it wasnt me who had the run in, and that I've never even seen another hunter where I hunt. I also kind of know the people that own the adjacent piece and I told him this hoping he'd reconsider.
I have at least 4 new spots lined up, none guaranteed, that would take this ones place, but it would be like losing a old friend if I couldn't go there anymore. This is what I get for trying to do the right thing. If I didn't call him, I could've kept hunting at least until he came to me. AAAAAAAAGGGGGGGHHHHHHH!!!!

If you are on good terms with the other people, I am sure, with their help, explain to the owner that you are not at fault. Try to explain it to him that you can help police he land and keep people that should not be there from being there. Good luck, I hope you are able to work it out.

The other owners are hunters, and unfortunately I think they may b e concocting stories to influence my guy into not letting me hunt anymore. I hunt this property a lot, and have never ever seen anyone enter the woods from my side. Thus leading me to believe the story is made up. Hopefully I can work it out with him since the area where I park and hunt is on the other side of where the new owners are. I'm still pissed though.

Another example of how bad it sucks to be a non-land owning hunter. That is the most frustrating part of hunting to me. If you don't own good land or are in good-graces with those who do.....hunting is tough. Public last, for the most part, sucks. At least in my area where there isn't much public land and what public land we do have is over-hunted.
