Landowner lied

[youngbuck1]

6k for 150 acres..... Wow. Sorry for your troubles. Must be a hell of a place.

[skeeter]

Kimble county and it does!

Yup. I hunt in kimble county. That sux. I wish I was a landowner and didnt hafta lease land!

[Ironman]

At $6,000 for 150 acres I'm thinking the landowner must be nuts to give you guys the boot.

Yeah. Things are adding up....or not.

[Crazy Horse]

real simple to me buddy; what's in the written contract?

if it states the last day to hunt is Jan 18th, then I'd be hunting...take me to court or call LEO (but I'd be hunting with contract in hand) because a deal is a deal IMO...

if it does not state Jan 18th & this was purely verbal, IMO you're screwed...

sorry to hear ya going through this whether it's your fault or not...

Maybe you should thank him for giving you the opportunity to be in the woods.

Yes this will resolve everything without a doubt.

Either he's got a quick sale or somebody else is leasing it for more money.

Paper. I am in ohio right now w/o access to the lease agreement. But I do not remember specifics written down one way or the other

Without specifics? Then why did you bother to put it on paper???

[murph62]

Nope. We have completely respected him and his property. Thanks for the skepticism this used to not happen on TBH

No kidding^^^^

The smaller the place, the more the presence of people is felt. You probably didn't do anything other than hunt more than the owner would have liked or expected.

If you have taken more than a couple of animals off of a place that size you are probably overhunting it. That can also be an irritation to landowners.

Good luck finding another place. January hunting tends to be rather dull any how. I usually try to wrap up my hunting by the end of November just because late season hunting tends to be pretty boring.

Actually I'm also on that lease, and the thank you came when we each wrote $3,000 checks to him. I expect a full season for what we agreed upon, what we paid, and a man's word.

Adds up to $40 per acre.
What kind of deer are on this 150 acres?

[huntinfool]

He probably is getting grief from the rancher to get the cows back on it.

you talked your land owner into pulling cows off for season??? that would be a good one to have even if you did have to jump off before the end of doe season

[Drycreek3189]

Why would you jump to assume that? My first thought was the landowner is a liar

This^^^^^ If you have ever lost a lease when someone offered more money..............or a myriad of other reasons known only to the landowner.......

[muley4x4]

that sucks for you. Have you tried to talk it out with him?

This landowner sounds like a dirtbag. That much money for 150 acres he should be having pizzas delivered to you guys on the weekends. My bet is they want to go blast a few doe before end of season.

These guys are people too, you have your good ones and your bad ones. Lots of them know that it almost doesn't matter as there's a line of hunters waiting with cash in hand right behind the unhappy ones who leave. Seems like they just shrug and don't care. My last few places have been great without any problems but we've had our issues, we had one owner decide to bring all his grandkids down to shoot deer for Christmas when they were in town. Two of the guys on that lease ended up with a stack of hay bails and a kid with a gun 50 yards away from the stands they'd been hunting all year. They were told if they didn't like it they're welcome to pack their stuff and leave. Obviously this was not agreed to in the contract.

I think it's important to get all the specifics and details in the contract, especially lease start and end dates, and even then it's really just a technicality as a lawsuit will just cost more money anyway.
