I tried to convince my grandfather that we should just high fence our south side to cut it off, but he wanted nothing to do with that. Eventually, I gave up trying to hunt it. My cousin still hunts it and still hasn't killed a mature buck. I quit hunting the place in 2003. It was just a waste of time and resources. it's sad that you can't even enjoy your own property, but such is life. I've lease ever since and haven't regretted moving on.


That sounds really frustrating. I would have either leased or bought the 90 acres, or leased out the 300 and used the proceeds for a good lease elsewhere.


Very much so. Your ideas are solid, however, the family property is locked up in a trust and you can't everyone to agree to the same solution. So I did what I needed to do to achieve my own goals.

I also have a small 17 acre place where I don't know about management but the neighbors ether don't hunt or have too many Deer. [Linked Image]
