I’ve been blessed to be able to hunt on my neighbors fathers land for the past five years. They have an oil company and only care about what comes out of the ground. Even though I have not had to pay for a lease me and a good friend have put a lot of time and money into this property. Between fuel( 5.5 hour drive from Houston) feeding over ten feeders year round, cutting lanes, and everything else to improve a piece of property for hunting. We have only taken a couple bucks off the property in the past five years and our management is starting to show. We have passed on several decent deer trying to let them meet their full potential and lost them to the neighbors. That’s just part of the game. My neighbors dad has now decided to let two other families hunt the property. Notified us right after opening weekend. Not happy about that but what do you do. I showed them the property and explained our management plan. Well first week up they shoot a 6 and 8 point that are 2.5 years old. We are talking small young deer. When asked they say the owner said they can shoot what they want and told them go knock down some bucks. Bringing their kids next go around. Nothing like watching hard work go to waste. Looks like I will be looking to find a lease for next year. Now just trying to decide how picky I’ll be about what I shoot the rest of the year.
