[QUOTE="BobbyV, post: 3909767, member: 32629"] There was a post on the hunting sub-reddit that got me to thinking about how land owners handle allowing hunters on their places and what happens when other parties get involved. The version of this posted on reddit is basically as outlined below: Land owner allows hunter to hunt his place without charge for 3 years. Hunter pays for the protein/corn, etc. Hunter puts out cameras, stands and scouts locations. Hunter kills deer and gives the owner his choice of cuts. Hunter shoots his biggest deer to date and as he's leaving shows the land owner. Land owner calls shortly after and tells hunter that he needs to pull all of his stuff because the land owner's son wants to hunt their place now. The hunter knows the son and that the son has access to 2 other leases. I have no idea why the son was paying for leases when he had access to family land. The replies are full of hunters saying stuff like: This is why you never tell people what you've shot. To which several land owners replied: I make hunters who I allow the privilege of hunting on my place to tell me what they see and what they shoot. They can't just place a stand anywhere they want. They need to ask where they can hunt, etc. Then some idiots are actually telling the hunter to completely ruin the property so the son can't hunt it. I guess my question is . . . if you're a land owner how much do you micromanage those you let hunt on your land? And if you're someone who's been given permission to hunt private land how has that relationship been with the land owner? Does the extended family cause issues? I'm very thankful that my brother lets me hunt his place and fully understand that it could be gone tomorrow if he ever decides to sell. It just seems that there are some pretty shady hunters and likely just as many shady land owners who love to bash the other. [/QUOTE]
