I was trying to point out that this could’ve been settled super easy face to face rather than on here. More to it than this dude bashing them. This isn’t a hobby for them it is how food is out on table.
So is it farm/ranch or lease? Farm/ranch or lease or have family out?
Pick one but not all?

Having said that I agree with bringing it up face to face and hope my hunters would do that firstLast edited by bphillips; 11-24-2017, 12:13 AM.

Alot of places get hunted by family when the weekend hunters are in the city during the week, it's been going on for a long time. It happens more than most realize.Last edited by SmallTownHunter; 11-24-2017, 12:42 AM.

They shouldn’t lease it if they want to hunt it

Myself, I would not be happy if all that was going on on my lease but definitely would not be happy if the LO's family was hunting the property when or if a certain number of hunters were agreed upon and paid for to hunt the property.

Please clarify a little bit before throwing them under the bus.
Do you feel they built the fences just to mess you up? Or maybe an old one needed replacing? They are sheep ranchers, the first sign of Pig or coyote a helicopter is dispatched. Not to uncommon I don’t feel like. I am sure they told you thank you for sharing your pig and coyote pics with them.
Please clarify cabin. Is this yours? Did you build it? Or is it a place provided for you stay? Is it your refrigerator yours or theirs? Did a couple cakes that wouldn’t fit in main cabin make that much a difference?
By chance did the ranchers grandkids (6,9, 15, 17) want to see the place and hang out on what is theirs? Did they or have they ever shot anything that was not a part of your management program? Also knowing the family I can’t see them just booting you guys from your blinds and saying sorry until Sunday.
Lastly I think you getting this upset and getting this forum all worked up is a little irrational without having spoke to anyone in the family. The daughters, the Son in laws and the land owners themselves aren’t the names they have been called here and again would hear you out.
Sorry. If it as the OP said there is no excuse for any what happened..
Planning is key and if anyone thinks flying a helicopter and shooting hogs during deer season, while the property is leased for hunting, is right then you just don't understand.. Surely the land owner has known for a while that there a wild hogs in Texas, on his property and ALL OVER that country..
Having family, any family, hunt paying hunters blinds is total BS UNLESS this was agreed to before money changed hands.

Weigh the reality of having no lease, no place to go in off season against the conditions you have now. Leases are not easy to find, virtually impossible. What you are saying happened definitely sux. How about a calm, mature man to man conversation/negotiation/discussion with the landowner, instead of killing everything you see and getting off, cause there probably aren't many other leases available. If that don't work...........then kill everything you see and get off.

Why not just kill your legal limit and get off. 2 wrongs don't make a right.. Killing everything you see makes the hunter no better than the land owner.. That s just stupidity...
The deer shouldn't be punished for a landowners bad decisions or crooked ways.Last edited by PondPopper; 11-24-2017, 06:38 AM.

I agree with all of this except in this country wild hogs are not all over it. It's goat and sheep country and they are held at bay pretty well with goat wire and few natural water sources. I'm just east of them and we haven't had a hog on our place in my 11 years and my LO hasn't seen one since they inherited 26 years ago. And yes 26 years ago somebody told him the cliche .. "you ain't got em yet? Well you will[emoji23]." There are some around the area (mostly nearer the river) as bphillips can attest but it's nothing nothing like other areas of Texas.
That being said, bring out some traps. Save the helo for the off season for the few that show up.Last edited by Smart; 11-24-2017, 06:44 AM.

Its coming though.
Now we do have a huge coyote problem though. Never saw or heard one until 4 years ago. Now they are thick. Very few fawns spotted this year too. We will be getting on this issue soon.Last edited by PondPopper; 11-24-2017, 07:45 AM.
