Every year I can't wait for deer season to start I work all year repairing stuff and keeping feeders full but this year is the exception. I usually take care of my own place and a couple others that my family has all are in different counties but within 10 minutes of my house, unfortunately greed has taken over and I have disowned at least 4 family members. First is my dad he has always been a jerk but at least I tried to keep up appearances with him to stay in the will because he owns the ranch that has been in my family for 143 years, he told me he leased out the hunting to some of his bar patrons who I know and also know they are just pure white trash so I am screwed out of the property with my last name on it that I have hunted my entire life. That was the straw that broke the camels back I haven't spoken to him since but fortunately I am still in the will and the sole beneficiary so I hope he dies sooner than later and his health is bad so odds are decently in my favor. Next is the ungrateful generation from part of my moms side three of them inherited the family farm that has been in the family 99 years, my great aunts and uncles all lived there and farmed it the hunting was great but their kids all moved to the city and turned into a bunch of ungrateful, self centered, idiots that don't give a crap about the family heritage or anyone of us who live out here and as soon as the last of their parents died they all listed the property despite all of us that still live here pleading with them not too. A couple months ago one of those properties sold and the other two are aggressively trying to sell their part. They just expect us to act like everything is fine while our relatives are spinning in their graves. Now I have one place to hunt that isn't even my own it's my uncles and my cousin and I have hunted it for years but my cousin lets friends of his go and our cousin from the city who is a hard core liberal nut job and has no idea how to hunt he just screws us up so basically I just share a small place with my cousin and anyone who ask him if they can go, I went from my own place I had control of all the hunting to this. It is hard not to get mad when I go and that is exactly the opposite of what hunting is supposed to be.

It happens a lot. Land owners die and the kids can't wait to sell it and cash in to buy new cars and other stuff that will be long gone in a few years, but the land will still be there. It just won't be theirs. All of the hard work and sacrifice by the parents blown away. That being said, I guess it's the kids to do what they want with it.

You disowned 4 family members, including your father, for doing as they please with THEIR land?

Sounds a bit childish to me.

That's what I was thinking.

Don't know your relationship with your father but wishing that he dies soon is effin sick man.

'Know your frustrated and you know your dad best, but you don't want to put some of the stuff you're thinking in print. Forget the hunting. The best revenge is living well. Keep your own act straight and you'll probably have a place to hunt someday all your own that you call the shots on.

Get a deer lease for a few years and when your dad dies, you'll get your family place back. It's rough I know. Maybe you could buy your relatives place? They may cut you a deal.

Really? Really? You hope your dad dies sooner rather than later? Wow just wow. I don't know nor do I care what the situation is that's your father. My dad and I haven't talked in years due to the way he is but I wish everyday I could change that. You need a reality check of the bigger picture my man.

Too bad your dad can't see this post. He should sell the land and give to a needy cause. That is lower than whale crap.

I'm guessing you're what 19? 20?

You obviously have zero clue as to how dang ignorant and selfish you are acting. You are disowning family members over the way they are hunting THEIR land! And then wishing your dad would die so you can get HIS land! I hope someone on here identifies you and shows your dad this post! Maybe he will leave it to someone who will appreciate it! Or better yet, maybe he will sell it and spend every dang penny of it so you don't see one dang cent of it!

I wish you would just get off of here. I get on here to read deer stories, hunting stories and such. I would give anything to talk to my Dad one more time. What a spoiled rotten brat you are.

My dad died 12 years ago. Not a day goes by that I don't talk to him.

You are a special kind of sick, twisted douchebag snowflake that was never told no and got a bunch of participation trophies.

Unbelievable......
Makes me thankful I get to work for everything I own and everything I ever will own.
It's hard to hold myself back from writing what I would like to write.....
We get what we sow, be thankful for what you have.

I just heard the news that my best friends dad passed away this afternoon. My buddy called me balling, wondering why and regretting the last four years that they didn't talk because of something much worse than what you're talking about. I'm not at all telling you how to live your life, but stuff happens quickly and there are is stuff you'll never be able to take back.

Good lord, I hope you were drunk posting. Even then, you need help...but at least there would be somewhat of an excuse for this

Geezus. I hunt family land that I'm sure will have to be sold when my uncle dies. There's 38 heirs, he has no kids so he's leaving it to all his nieces and nephews. I hate it, but it's his place and the only way to be fair to everyone is to sell it. I sure as hell won't disown him for it, and I thank God every day that my 84 year old dad still likes to hunt and go with me to take care of feeder and blinds. Wake up man, quit your freaking pouting and be a man.

The guy is pissed. Let him grieve. I am sure I didn't like my dad at one time but we have the best conversations now. A hunting forum though is not the best place to vent I will agree. My dad never hunted but we talked for 30 minutes on my way this weekend. I would not even look at him for years at one time.

Talk about an entitled whiney baby. I hope your dad lives another 50 years you ungrateful brat

Ah hell not all dad's are awesome. Haven't talked to mine in a long time and don't even have his number. If mine had land I wouldn't even think about asking to hunt it. Won't grieve much if any when he's gone, but my situation is different than most. I will say hunting doesn't come before family, if you consider your dad family forget about the land and go get your own before you say or do something you can't take back.

This is life. Things and people come into it and leave it. Sometimes to never return again. Then you realize how much you loved or cared because you never get another chance to say what you wished you'd said or hold what you'll never hold again. Don't carry those regrets around the rest of your life.

My parents never took me hunting once in my life. Will not be leaving any land or wealth to me or my brothers. We've butted heads many times. But I still love them and will miss them when they pass.

I forged my own path in life and have hunted over 30 years. I hunt on one of most beautiful ranches on earth. Things have a way of working out if you really want them to. Good things come to those who work hard and treat others with dignity and respect. Throw some unconditional love into that formula and you will have a great life. You just have to put in the time and effort.

Wow, just wow.

So let me get this straight....
• You've been fortunate enough to have access to multiple family land parcels you can hunt - basically for free, you just fill corn feeders and do some repairs.
• You don't get along well with your dad, so you want him to die sooner rather than later.
• You don't get along with your cousins.
• You are upset land on your mom's side was sold off, and say they were "greedy".
• You are trying to tolerate your dad so you can stay in the will (please look up the definition of "greedy").

Seems like you need a come to Jesus moment.
1. Instead if worrying about where you can hunt, start worrying about your relationships.
2. If the land meant so much to you, why haven't you bought any of it? If it's do to the price...yeah, sometimes you have to bust your arse to be able to get what you want. Not just sit around waiting for relatives to die off.
3. Take a long hard look in the mirror. Sometimes the first thing that needs to be fixed is staring right back at you.

Like others have said, there comes a time when you will wish you had your dad or other loved ones back around....even if for just a day. I imagine your dad is the one that introduced you to hunting. Worry more about the relationship, not the hunting.

Come on guys. Don't you know a troll when you see one.
