There is an outfitter that leases a field adjacent to my property. There is a 15 acre woods 250 yards from my woods, a few trees less than 10 ft from my woods, and the rest is a chiseled plowed corn field. The outfitter, according to his website, has 13,000 acres of prime time whitetail habitat in the White county area, and he runs people through there every week, which I don't have a problem with because I can't do too much about it.
Well I went out there this weekend and there was a guy set up in one of the few trees right next to my woods. He was on the west end of the woods with an east wind, so it was blowing right out into the field, which is the only place he could legally shoot. Then with the field being chiseled, the deer were not using it all. So chances are the only deer he would have seen would have been back in my woods. When confronted he started by saying he wasn't going to shoot into the woods, then 5 minutes later he said he had permission to shoot into the woods. I went back out there that night on my side and sat up so I could watch him, and it turned out he didn't like to wear orange either. So I called the CO, and he alluded to the fact that this was not the first complaint about this outfitter and his clients. Apparently that is not the only fence row they like to set up on. Then my town sheriff said there was a big buck shot where they just took the head and left the body because it was too far to drag(couple hundred yards). The CO ended up waiting for him at his truck, and he didn't return the next day.
