The joys of being the only bowhunter on a lease

[DXTroughneck]

So some of you may know the deer aren't movin in junction well so I headed to my lease in Houston county. I pull up to the gate and there four wheeler tracks no problem. So I call a guy on the lease to make sure it's not tresspassers and he said no it's them, they have been down there for two days riding around and cutting firewood four hundred yards from one of my stands. So I pull my cards on my cameras and get picks of them Rodin through my corn lookin at tracks and they think it's no big deal. I can't say nothin cause he is my boss, all I can do is hope for the best.

That bites. I was the only bowhunter on a lease before and it did not work very well. Hope it gets better.

[cmanning]

That's a horrible story!

[DXTroughneck]

Why would u drive through someones set up if they have a camera up duh just don't get these guys

[flywise]

some people have no respect. Sorry to hear your delima.

[thabucknasty]

i had that problem once. in the stand and guys decide to mow the roads. i really wanted to arrow the tires. i own the land so i gave them one warning and no other problems.

I would say something. That's not cool and even less cool that he lied to you about it.

[skeeter]

I would say something. Be polite. Ask if they dont mind stayin out of your area before and during bow season. Explain you want your area to stay quiet while you are gone. Cuz its hard enough huntin east Teast without people ridin thru your area on atvs. If you and your boss get along good enough to be on a lease together, I'm sure he'll understand. If not, BURN DOWN HIS STAND!!!

people who dont bow hunt dont think anythiing of it. but during rifle season they would die if u did it to them

[crazy cowboy]

that sucks man those guys need to have some respect for other hunters

[FattLip]

never under estimate stupid people in large groups

[sqiggy]

Do they have feeders?? If so, disconnect the battery!!

Boss or no boss, if you paid your fair share, I would tell them how the cow ate the cabbage, so to speak!!!

I can see this is not your weekend.

It must be a bow hunter deal...most of us on our place ask other hunters to check feeders to make sure of destruction by hogs / cows / coons whatever. Getting mooned on your game camera is not uncommon.

Now, I will bowhunt around the various feeders across our place, but no one is really protective of their areas as we have an open blind policy and common sense comes into play when checking things.

We have a larger place and I understand it ca be a bit different when you only have one set up and that would stick in my craw. Just trying to share experience.
