How Close is to Close

[Patton]

If it is a dove lease why are people deer and hog hunting it?

Most people sign up for the dove lease aspect, but membership gives us permission to do whatever we want to the property.

This specific parcel is just under 300 acres and heavily wooded, you could maybe hunt doves on 1/4 of it, and you would spend 10 minutes looking for each downed bird.

Nobody dove hunts this area.

Membership allows us to do anything. 5 properties total, 2 of them heavily wooded geared towards hog hunting, there is also a large pond we have access/permission to duck hunt on.

Sounds to me like a cluster mess.

I say go dove hunting and forget the rest. I don't want to be that close to so many others that I do not know, bow or especially rifle

[hchunter]

Way too close way too many people too small of place

It sounds to me that you really don't know the total number of hunters or their location of stand/feeders. There is no way I'm hunting not knowing this especially with rifle hunters out there. You say it's so thick you have to get on your hands and knees. If it's that thick you could have a blind you don't know about 100 yards away with it's shooting window pointed right at you. This place sounds like a unsafe free for all.

So, are the feeders for deer or hogs? I have never heard of feeding hogs, so its probably a dumb question. If they are for deer, the hogs are going to bump them off the feeders a lot. Getting remote maybe the only thing you can do. If you are hunting for meat, a little extra fun, ect. then okay, do what you do. But if you are hunting far a trophy or even just a mature buck, I think it is probably a waste of time. At the least you should do is put a few cameras out to see if even a mature buck is on the property. That would be the only way to justify any effort.

we are at a minimum of 1/2 miles, but most are 1 mile. your place sounds dangerous.

[bowtech72]

depends on the terrain, we have it in our lease rules, no stands within a 1/4 mile of each other and not to interfere with the other hunter stand location. we had a guy putting up stands every year, way to many.
