We hunted a place several years ago and had it to ourselves.
The farmer let us in all 300 of his acres.
He was a dairy farmer and only thing he asked was please don’t hunt in the fields were my cattle is.
No problem. Had plenty of other places on his land to hunt.
Anyways one day he told us a guy had been doing some work for him around his house and asked permission to hunt deer.
He being a nice guy said sure help yourself and gave him the same rules he gave us.
Well.
Didn’t take long for us to realize he had taken some of the farmers salt blocks and put them in front of our stands we had up (he was helping himself yo our stands) which at the time not such a big deal but one day he tried to kick my brother in law out of his own stand.
We took the salt blocks back to the fields and he confronted us about doing that. Told him it’s illegal.
Didn’t like that answer.
Cussing us out.
He really started becoming a nuisance to us by driving in the fields when we were hunting as he saw our vehicles parked out front.
We surely didn’t want to lose our rights to hunt so one day we went to the farmer and told him everything.
He ended up booting the other guy but at some point the other guy got back on the property and shot one of his cows.
Got game and fish involved and he ended up confessing and paying a pretty good sized fine.
We were able to hunt there for another 9/10 years until he died and they sold the place off in sections.
I miss that place.
