[QUOTE="OKRuss, post: 3909850, member: 41777"] For our private land, any hunters besides the owners are limited to doe only during deer season. Turkey has to be a tom. Fish have to be catch and release. Had an almost identical situation happen to me when on a lease in CO. The property wasn't very big but in a strategic area where water, food and cover were great! I hunted on maybe 40 acres out of a 200 acre parcel. The homestead was another 1600 acres but again my focus was on a small piece of that. The landowner has relatives who hunt but never thought it was very productive(not in the right place). I had the lease for 6-7 years and only one who hunted the month of Sept. I could bring a buddy if tags were available. I paid under $1000. I killed a bull elk every year other than one when I could only get a cow tag. Rifle and bow. After about the 5th year, the nephew is getting wind of how bulls are being killed every year especially on the small ranch. Nephew convinces the landowner Uncle to let him manage the elk hunting and I got pushed out. If I were to push for getting a tag, I bet I could go back and hunt it but would feel uncomfortable. Ranch hand who I stay in contact with said it's been horrible and few, if any, elk are being killed now. [/QUOTE]
