Most wells can be drilled within a couple days as long as things go well. You have more than ample time. Stop whining and be patient.

water, oil, natrual gas, man only thing missing now is a cell tower that paid 1k-1500 amonth

surely you understand the importance of water, increase in property value orpositive incomethen, sorry i just don't see the down side[&:], nothing but positive that i'm hearing, plus that well will have about as much impact on the deer and that 20 acres as a fart in a whirlwind

way to stereotype, jackass, while were at it the baby boomers are a bunch of ignorant judgemental bigots. hat would be the rational thing to assume wouldn't it???

Its a drag, BUT, if you are a Ranch manager then it is safe to assume that you have plenty of other land to hunt, even if the well does mess up this spot. No matter how bad it may seem, it can always be worse.....

Yes it can be worse. A friend of mine and his brother lost thier hunting ground a couple of years ago. Friends brother was married to the elderly woman's (who owned the land)daughter. I far as I know there has never been any ill feeling between any of them. Both brothers live 4 hours away from the land. We kinda think the farm manager talked to the older lady into leasing the land out......even her own son is not allowed to hunt it anymore. What can you do?? The well may not mess you up. It's still early enough that they can get done and clear out. I'd think the deer will be back.

No matter how good of a deal you have, when it comes to other peoples land, you can often count on something going wrong.
That's why i covered my butt by buying my own land a couple years ago. I am now in the process of closing the deal for another small piece.

I had the oil company put a well in 75 yds from one of my stands in East Tx, They had to raise the pad site 75ft to get level. The second week of drilling the Deer were back!! Some goods things came of it. First, I now have a 75 ft stand over looking my feeder, andSecond, the deer funnel even closer and in a more predictable line behind the well ! Third, it also blocked truck acess to my feeder, you have to use a 4 wheeler to get in.
Smile, LIFE IS TOO SHORT !!

Not sure if any of you know this but you can own the "land" and not own the mineral rights. In this circumstance, maglite could haved owned the land, but if someone else owns the mineral rights to the land, they are allowed to drill as they please. The owner of the "land" only owns the surface and down 10 feet. The rest is to whoever owns the mineral rights. Just food for thought.

Good point fingerz. I dont own the mineral rights to my land, so that scenario could become a reality. However, I think that in many instances, the landowners has to get cut in for about 1% of the royalties. Given the price of oil nowdays, all that I would have to say is drill away boys and make sure you spell my name right on the check.

I'm still waiting to hear whatthey're going to be drilling for?
