Sheesh. Everyone is perfect. Reminds me of why I quit posting opinions to begin with. No one reads a thing, but is certainly ready to jump on the poster. (Usually those with feelings hurt or something that hits too close to feeling guilty.) I'll go back into watching mode. I feel at least the guy could have given me a heads up and given me the same chance. Even if he didn't extend that offer, he could have let me know that I needed to find a different place to hunt those 3 days when he signed the papers. I thought I should at least have that amount of respect. I'm sure many of you feel differently. Ah well. No, the landowner did not handle it right. He should have given you a heads up before he signed the contract. I'd talk to him about, but I would go about it cautiously. Good luck..

So this land owner has never asked anything of you , and out of the goodness of his heart he lets you hunt his land. You do stuff for him in return with the intentions of being able to keep hunting the land. He wants nothing out of it. He then turns around and asks that you respect that he has given someone else access to his property free of charge (Which he also does for you) for three days. Which he has every right to do as the landowner. And you have a problem with it. It sounds to me like you need to have your priorities checked. You do those things for him because it is the right thing to do....not because it entitles you to squat! Now if you offered money and he refused and then leases it to someone else...I agree you have an issue. Lyman made you one hell of an offer. Lyman I commend you for doing the stand up thing. ..................priorities checked, you got to be kidding me , i know for a fact this could of happened to any of us! we all hate to lose a hunting spot especially to a lease. we as hunters have invested time and always ask the landower is there something we could do to help them out when we are invited to hunt on a piece of property, and to have that taken away,(that hurts) a lot of our enjoyment of the hunt is anticipation of doing well in the wooooods....i for one know Indy hunter personally, he's a awesome sportsman, true and true and he's a great hunter and great father...i am proud to be his friend.i for one do not like to see my friend bashed for doing nothing wrong... Indyhunter and Tyler , you guys are invited to Owen county at my cabin opening week.....or anytime................turkey scout

Try not to have the "victim" attitude when you confront him, it is his land and this hunt is a 3 day archery hunt by all accounts above.
