Could be worse, the guy next to my farm lost his property to a flim flam by his in-laws. I met the new owner (the stepbrother) a few weeks ago, unfortunately. This guy announced that it would be OK if I hunted on his land and I asked if he was going to lease the property to hunt on, he said nope, anyone was free to hunt on his land or come and go as they please, it was open to any and all. Sounds an awful lot like real bad trouble to me. Allowing folks to hunt is one thing but free run of a place is a whole different matter, especially with the deer dog hunters, which are legal here. Most folks will not allow dog hunters on or near their place.
So I put up another 1/4 mile of fence including a run across a connecting logging road and another set of big concrete gate posts with a locked gate across his dirt road onto my place. He will not be back, and a small group of us neighbors are putting together a plan to buy the guy out. The old decent hunters moved all of their tree stands off his place two weeks ago for fear of being shot by a free run idiot.
Yep, they guy is from town and lives 30 miles away. Instead of doing hunters a favor he has just stopped any management, feeding or crop growth for food on his place. Forethought is the same length as his foreskin.
