I never managed to get out today.Woke up at 5, my wife looked really really hot, so thought I'd hunt her of her instead.After a successful morn. I made coffee and breakfast for the family. The kids had some more good ideas with what to do with Halloween so I gonna help them get that organized and set up.I won't be going tonight cause of fireworks and handing treats. The rut won't be for another week it looks like, Only saw does Alot of then though, and a few small local bucks.I'm going to start hunting much higher elevations from here on in, so I may not even get back there this year.It's cold, but not really cold and we have no snow to bring them down yet, So even if we get a dump in the mountains early this week it will take them a few days to hit mid elevation. And won't be at these lower levels till later possibly mid Nov.We'll see work is really busy, so if I get out I get out. I've got meat in the freezer till last till spring and fishing starts so it's not like I'm destitute and really really need to kill an animal.I want to though, but don't need to.

just becareful tomorrow, you dont no what he might try to pull, weather he just trys to scare your deer away or if he cuts your truck tires, you dont no what he is crazy enough to do, lets hope you didnt push him to that point


he might try and like put barbed wire in the road or somthing sense he is a rancher and would have acess to a material like that

Sounds like a good way to get yourself killed.

I live in the east not the west and I'm sure things are different out there. But >>>and this is just my opinion.
I don't see the need in pissing anyone off, a lot of people want "just that" from us. If your right your right, period! and telling them in a nice way just makes you "right" all the more.
If they get nasty be nicer...let the game officials be the bad guys...its just a cell phone call away.

I've had neighbors twice ask me if I was tresspassing while hunting on my Mom's farm. Funny part is, they were on our side of the fence both times.

It is statements like these that give a lot of landowners negative views of hunters in general. A lot of hunters who do not own land whine and complain about the landowners when they do not give them hunting access, but I see a lot of cases where landowners are mocked, ridiculed, called crazy and talked down - even on this forum. The last time I pointed this out, a poster commented that the person was just relaying a funny story.

Buy some land. After dealing with trespassers, litter bugs, trash dumpers and vandals it is likely you will have a much different attitude and show proper respect for landowners in general. This landowner being older we should automatically show him some respect. What happened to respecting your elders? Continue with your improper attitudes and see what that gets you with the landowners and locals. All it will due is harm the already fragile relationship between landowners and hunters. That should make PETA and the anti-gunners really happy.

This is my view point as well, I totally agree with it. Don't get me wrong I love to fight, I'll throw hands with someone twice my size. Even if I lose I walk away learning something. [ like not messing with someone twice my size]
But yeah I abide by the more flys with honey saying. Not judging, I wasn't there and don't know the situation but would hate to know your worrying about your vehicle when ya should be out enjoying the woods. My .02 cents
Good luck with the season!

i was not saying that to be negative twoars land owners at all, my family owns 300 acers and it gets trespassed on all the time, we actually have trail came pictures of people going around our gates and it really makes me mad, they better hope we dont catch them in there in person but anyway im just saying , you dont no how far people would be willing to go to keep you out of some places

i never ment my statement to be negative twoards any land owners sense i am a land owner my self

Well I'll start out with a friendly note.Happy Halloween. Just got back home from the fireworks.Everone in our neighborhood chipped a hundreded bucks and we got about 5 minutes of sparkles flying in the air. LOL.The familly fun, I had fun.The house and yard are still haunted, will be till tomorrow evening. Anyways My brother dropped by today and I told him what happened. He and my Dad are both accountants and are partners in a firm together. Apparently he knows a Lawyer who is allowed to hunt this property and my brother has met the owner personally. He thinks the guy I lost my temper on was an impersonater.My brother was saying that that land back there holds no cattle this time of year,there maybe strays, but doubtful,the cattle are moved to their wintering grounds or other areas, and it's just a couple of hay fields.This time of year his friend is encouraged to hunt back there cause of the cattle thing.My brother was telling me the owner is quite a nice gentleman and understands the property he bought, has crown land beside his property, and moves his cattle just
before the season starts .So it looks like I may have been duped.My
brother is gonna talk to this Lawyer buddy of his,about the incident, and see if he can catch wind of it. I'll fill you guys in tomorrow or as soon as possible..Yeah I do feel stupid and I am stupid for getting pissed off over this thing now that new info has come forward. If it turns out I publically humiliated this paricular Rancher even though I didn't use his name or where he lived,and other Ranchers in general and once again created a war on this site this time over Hunters and Ranchers instead of what should of been over Hunters and Peta cause no fellow hunter would ever do this.I will appologize I will accept the blame I have a brain, eyes and reasonably big shoulders I will read what you have to write.I do feel bad I will keep you updated and I
will be upfront and honest.Well till tomorrow.

yeah, when we bought 40 acres..we wentt out the 1st time...we were stuck in a creek, and a truck came down the hill..guy got out with a gun..told us he called the cops..we better leave..so we took our sweet time gettin unstuck...when the cops got there, we had a tresspass put on the guy..he was dumfounded and acted like he was the property owners land manager..turns out his grandpa owned the a joining property...now we are friends...we joke about it all the time.
