Season is over before it really began.

Managed to get in an opening weekend hunt but saw nothing but a couple does.

Yesterday the landowner's step son wounded and didn't recover a doe.

Now he has put a stop to all deer hunting with bows.

I'm never going to really enjoy this sport until I buy my own place.

You ought to ask him if you're gonna get some of your money back because he's cutting your season a month short

That would kill me season. I bow hunt all the time. I feel your pain. Time for a new lease! I'm looking as well, maybe would could combine resources.

BTW love my T-Mate

He's a friend and it's not a lease situation. I don't have any reason to drive tree hours to help him with his cattle or fences or fill feeders etc. if I can't hunt.

I don't have any desire to shoot a deer at 30 yards from my bow blind with a rifle. I'm bow only now.

If anyone has a lead on a tiny (read: affordable) piece of land for sale shoot me a PM.

Does that mean he doesn't know anybody who has shot a deer with a gun and didn't recover it? I know of that happening too so I guess they should just quit hunting...

Sorry

[freerange]

It happens all the time with rifle hunters too. Land owner seems closed minded good luck

[TheBigWoods]

I'm confused. He's your friend.... but you have no reason to drive 3 hours to help him with cows or fill feeders if you can't hunt. Sounds a little like he may be a "friend" out of convenience. Sorry you lost your bow hunting privileges but obviously his land his rules.
