A few years ago, i bought a small piece of woods that was sold as part of a much larger land sale. A fellow whom I had never meet bought the land surrounding me on three sides. He subsequently posted his land and accidentally put one of the signs about 25 feet onto my property. He also accidentaly put up a deer stand several feet onto my property. Now i could have been territorial and pitched a fit, but I didn't. In fact, i told him that he is welcome to track wounded deer onto my land or use my land as a shortcut to drag deer out to the road. I also invited him to use a stand on my land if he wasn't having luck on his. Well, the upshot is that I recently spoke with him and he told me that i can hunt orride 4-wheelers on his land when I want. So, by being a little neighborly, I now have ready access to about 130 acres of some of the best deer, turkey, and small game hunting in that part of the country. Given some of the bad scenarios that I often read about on this site, it is nice to know that good things sometimes happen as well.

See, we can "just get along"!

You scratch his back and he'll scratch your's. Uh, let's forget the pictures! LOL

Yeah, let's not take the backscratching too far. No need for an Illinois version of Brokeback Mountain[]

Well L.C.C. seeing as how your feeling so neighborly can I come hunt that property with you

I doubt that i would ever hunt his property for deer, I'm more interested in the squirrels, quail, and rabbits on his place. However, the two stands on my property haven't gotten much use lately.Getting an out-of-state gun hunting permit for my county could be a problem, but not impossible. Archery permits are still pretty easy, though.

Lanse sez: ROTFLMAO!
