dear hunters fights

I have been reading some post by and about hunters seems they are maybe just a little trouble makers here are a few of the post..... ........................have a neighbor across the road whose land borders one of my fields/pastures. His house sits on about 3 acres. I noticed the other day that he has a deer blind setup in the back and it’s facing my land. Not good. Today I drive toward the back of my property and I see a big drum type tripod corn feeder in the middle of my field. The field is about 8 or so acres. This is not good at all. All he had to do was ask, don’t take advantage of me, it’s not going to work. I have been neighborly, let him bush hog a path for him to get to some property behind me so he didn’t have to use the main road with his UTV. A few problems with his grand-kids four wheeling on our land, too much liability to let them four wheel. Normally I just take down and throw away any deer stands, cameras ect I find. This is just brazen. No use asking after the fact, it’s not going to happen.

My neighbor has a stand facing my land. I'm not sure anybody used it this year though.

OK so I have no ATV trails on my place so I walk to all my deer stands and drag them out.

This guy took a beautiful peice of land, timbered it, put buildings all over it, cut roads everwhere, fenced a bunch in, and now he's facing my woods where I haven't even cut a tree when he has about 20 more acres than I do.

I see this a lot. Guys who buy land clear it all off develop it and then expect to hunt on those of us who prize habitat and solitude.

I'd just remove the feeder as others have mentioned.

I just talked to one of my neighbors today. A guy up the road bought a real nice piece of property,cleaned it up ,built a $400,000 home,stuck no trespassing sign on every tree and post. Now he's wanting to hunt on everyone around when he messed up the best place around here.If that's not bad enough he ask my neighbor for permission to hunt and he let him. The next week this guy came over on my neighbor and posted no trespassing signs all over his place.This guys livingroom cost more than my whole farm and now this attitude! I don't think so.
There has got to be something in the water. Nobody can be that stupid on purpose.

I've posted this somewhere in the past but it kind of fits here and now. Dad die in a tractor accident back in 98 and that's when we started having trouble. The people across the creek thought it was o.k. to ride atv's on the property since it's just an old lady there now.We talked a couple times and got the same old thing." It'll never happen again." Now wouldn't you know that the creek came up and washed a bunch of old beer bottles down the creek and the funnies thing. They all broke exactly at the two places they had been crossing over on our property! God works in strange ways.(Ever push an atv 3/4 mile up hill with 4 flat tires?)
Hunting etiq. seems to have been thrown out the window, it's not like it was when my dad would take me as a kid. However, if I think about it..lots of the land that used to be available to hunt on is now gone. There is not much "free" public land and if their is..sometimes you can't hunt certain game there or you have 100 people on 1 acre,lol.

The government sold off sections or lots in the middle of our WMA over here at different times since the early 80's...try hunting with only one old logging road, the WMA and a crop of beans out in the middle the farmer has gated off...

People now will arrive after you, walk right up on you and sit 10 feet from you or fly by you at daybreak on a four wheeler full speed.

Hubby was also shot at and peppered in the face during youth gun hunt(deer) when 1 man and teenager where shooting straight at them chasing hogs. If hubby could see them without orange (looking dead at them as he was not sitting or in a stand, but standing up)..then they could of saw hubby & sons orange.

I miss the days when I would go with dad as a child, hunters etiq. and courteous to each other seems to be thrown out the window now days. I also miss the old Army Surplus Stores where you would buy your gear..not Cabelas or Bass Pro. You got it at the ASS not some brand name at a mass chain store. But I am in the miniority on that..everyone wants to have the "popular" stuff nowHunting etiq. seems to have been thrown out the window, it's not like it was when my dad would take me as a kid.
