What does everyone think of this...

[150class]

Im on a little lease in Crystal City about 500 acres, and anyways last year there were three of us on the place and the old man got off cause he was getting tired of the place. Then he made the comment that he could hunt down here for free instead of pay( which isnt true cause were probably better friends with the owner then him). So he got off and this year theres only 2 of us.... at least thats what i thought..... So our other hunters (which we consider worthless) because they do NOTHING, and shoot multiple bucks per year though were only allowed 1 per.
So as usual we wernt able to make it last weekend but we know the other hunters did, and like always they did not call us to give us a update or anything so we assumed the usual that they propabaly kill a few does and possibly a buck. Though today i recieved a call from a friend that his dad heard that our ex hunter kill a decent 140ish 22in wide 10 (though for this place its a trophy because our bucks there seem to lack the potential to grow into monsters)So of course i asked were he harvested it i recieved the reply tha he shot it off MY LEASE THAT HE IS NO LONGER ON OR PAYING FOR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Though theres nothing that I can really do; the owners live over 7hrs away, but the worst part is hes family .... and the other paided hunters took him down there and allowed him to shoot it!!!!!!! Yet they wont count it as their "buck", so i guess there trying to beat there record of 5 bucks last year........

Family or not that's big time BS!! The landowner should at least be made aware of it and you should at least call the "old man" and let him know you are doing so. Why would you let this go without addressing it??

Call the owner.....Now

[MathewsMan82]

bull **** thats what I say family or not thats a reason to get down and roll in the dirt call owner soon befor this guy strikes again

[Ranchingaggie]

OUCH! Now that is low balling and pretty sorry. Hope is that is just rumor and not the truth. My grandpa always said "if they took it from you then you were forturnate to have it, but they needed it more than you....keep working"! Man did not make much sense then as it does now......

[HogHunter34]

even family has to be disciplined when necessary!

We would report him but the damage is already done. And were planning to offer the owner so much for the whole place next year for just us to hunt and if she doesn't like the offer were leaving.

but its sad how worthless people can be. Even family...

[Snakelover]

You ought to give him a call and say you never received his lease payment and could he please write you another check to replace the one that must've gotten lost in the mail. As far as I can see, he owes you the money.

Man, that is why I had a hard time finding a lease that I was willing to pay for.... Some people just don't have the same type of morals as the rest of us....
I have to agree that it should not go un-addressed. Best of luck getting it resolved..

Like you said man its hard finding a place without people like this

Although the damage has been done you should still contact the landowner. I would even lay the chips down and inform her that you and your friend are willing to pay X dollars for next year, under the circumstance that this issue is addressed. More than likely being 7 hours away she doesn't know what is happening. If she does know and still does nothing she is not a landowner you want to deal with anyways.

First off if they really in fact do this, and your witness and say nothing, that my friend is all your fault. AND YOU are JUST as GUILTY as they are for not reporting them, I'd be calling the GW and turning thier worthless hides in. I've never had a lease but I do know this, people WILL DO whatever THEY want until someone makes it very clear it won't be tolerated. Then they will do it behind your back, unless they stand the chance of being caught, and having to face conciquinces.sp?

Very true very true, but its the last year for this crap.. but lets focus on giving them crap

[BowTechAssassin]

I'm not trying to give you crap, bro. Wrong is wrong, and couple of stiff fines would make'em see a little more clearly. I hope you get this straightened out, it sounds like you and your friend a good guys.
