deerhunter1224, hey look at your situation as a blessing and not a curse after all reality is perception. You are perceiving that there will be too many people in the woods, hurt your time hunting, they will get the big one and so on.

Evidently there is a reason these other hunters are there even if it is to teach you something about yourself. You mentioned that you talked to the young man in the wheel chair, "the kid with the handicap."

Perhaps you feel handicapped with having other people in the same woods you are in... Do the right thing! Ask the father if you could take "the handicap kid" in yourself, embrace the problem and turn it into a blessing.

If the father allows you to take the son into the woods then there will be just two people in your woods.

After all wouldn't you "rather have a bad day in the woods than a good day at work?"

Take the high road and do the right thing if it's in you...

Thank goodness you have semi private land to hunt. I have to hunt public land. In addition to trying to pattern the deer, I have to pattern other hunters movements as well.

The kid I dont really care about since he is handicaped but the guy said his son would be the only one hunting. Thats what he told my dad. I view if you tell the land owner his son will be the only one hunting and he hunts as well. I view that hunter as unethical hunter. Yes I am so glad I hunt family owned land. We have had guys hunt woods in past they feel they dont have to ask each year.

I hunt where a ex-co-worker owns about 40 acres. He has let me hunt there for the last 4 years and I never really know how much of that he is going to let me use for free. One year he needed money and I didn't have any so he leased his land and let me use 200 yards (literally) at then edge of it. I shot my first buck that year it was a spike. Last year he had to barter his land for a guy to fix his roof and he let me hunt in his back yard on a rock cliff over looking ahill that went down to a river...I shot my first deer with a bow...a 6 pt. I think its what you make of it, I would still rather go to his land then have to go where there is more pressure on public land. Plus he let's me take 1 new person each year who has never been hunting and enjoy that whole process with them. I never argue when he says I can only hunt here or there and I share the meat when I get one. I think we all would love to have a bunch of land to ourselves but can you imagine the joy you would feel if you help this kid get his first deer? This year because I still have a good relationship with this guy I am taking my daughter on her first hunting experience in the fall. I think you still have a pretty good set up and can still get deer along with helping some other folks. I think if you do that you will feel more fulfilled in your hunting this year and God has a way of blessing us when we help others.:)

Dude, the simple fact of the matter is that the people who own the land know he hunts it now, and don't care. Getting mad and raising a stink about it might get you kicked off the land.

I understand the guy said he would 'only help his son hunt', but now you've told the landowners, and they don't care. Done. No more discussion. You have no rights in this situation.

RE: hunters in woods
 

I totally agree...at least you have a place to hunt without going to public land. You may want to consider helping out the kid and his Dad to get their deer. It would definitely make you feel good. I taught my neice and nephew to hunt and it makes me feel great when they harvest a nice deer.

RE: hunters in woods
 

I agree - and if there is a good heard in there use his presence to your advantage - find out where he is heading in and setup downstream of the run and have him do the work - since you have permission and I assume mom and dad are not yours.

as long as the rule if its brown its down is not being used you should be ok but if you have everyone shooting anything then it will get scraped clean
