bowhunter97 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Of not having a place to hunt without someone right ontop of you. Anyone ever get it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The frustration Yep I've had it happen. I have access to more properties that I never hunt because someone else hunts there. If I don't control it, I don't hunt it. Stay in touch with the people though because sometimes the other people screw up and your the only one left standing!

bowhunter97 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Its not that im on a lease with someone. Its a buddy of mine. We have a patch of woods between our houses and if i want to hunt it but he doesnt want me to sit by myself. He wants to control the whole thing and it isnt his property. He doesnt want me to hunt it if i want to hunt it when he cant. So at this poit im kind of out of luck. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Me and my buddy do this every time we hunt together we just take turns on who is the shooter and we have had a video camera for a while so the one not shooting videos even if it is on a large property I have more fun sharing the experience with him than by myself.

bowhunter97 Posted August 17, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 It wouldnt be a problem if he wouldnt resent spraying down. He doesnt do any of the scent elimination stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 The frustration If it isn't his then why can't you hunt without him? If you both have permission then you hunt when you want.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoytshooter09 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 Yeah if he isn't gonna take scent control serious I would change something either find another property close by that only u have permission or force him to spray down Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailfreak55 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I agree I wouldnt be hunting with him if he doesn't do any scent control. And why cant you hunt it? If you both have permission and he doesn't own it then you have every right to hunt there without him Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
midwesthunter815 Posted August 17, 2013 Report Share Posted August 17, 2013 I had a similar thing happen last year. Hunting on my girlfriends family's land. Had a few guys who had permission from a different family member who came out to ride a quad, shoot a guns and other activities while I was sitting in my stand. Needless to say I didn't return back out there. Fortunately I am able to hunt other properties Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I dont really know why he thinks he owns it but he does and i dont want to lose a friendship over it so i'll ask him to spray down i guess. It probably wont do any good though. Im hunting on my other buddies property tomorrow and he invited me to hunt it but he wont be in the woods even though this guy does spray down and all 3 times he's sat this year hes shot a deer. So im in good shape lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 The frustration No why can't you hunt if he's not there. I don't care about spraying down. That's the big problem I would have. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 I dont know hoosier. He thinks he owns it. I dont wanna lose a friendship over hunting but i'll talk to him about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hoosierhunter Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 The frustration If it were me I would quit hunting with the guy. You can be friends, but hunting together will only drive problems down the road if he has that attitude.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turkeygirl Posted August 18, 2013 Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Guess I won't be hunting with you...I don't use scent elimination stuff....I must be doing something wrong.... Like others said just don't hunt with him....it's not his land so he doesn't have control... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted August 18, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2013 Im not saying that for where you hunt you have to have scent elimination. Heck you killed a heck of a deer last year. I just know that for down here the deer can smell sweat from a mile away. And he works on his trucks and stuff turns around changes shirts and heads in. So hes going in all hot an sweaty.

sskybnd Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 No why can't you hunt if he's not there. I don't care about spraying down. That's the big problem I would have. me too on that matter, if he doesnt own the land and you both have permission to hunt it friendship or not id hunt it when i wanted to, and i can under stand the friendship thing, i have the same thing on some land i hunt, but theres another thing letting him bully you into thinking you cant hunt it, mine is becouse the friend would much rather kill a deer on it than allowing me too. one is becouse we are always in competion to see can kill the biggest deer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bowhunter97 Posted August 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 Well. Its a little late but heres the background story. First off its public land just no one knows it so its only us that goes in it. Anyways since before i met him about 5 years ago he had fed deer in the woods. He made all the trails cleared out spots and it isnt his but he thinks all the work hes done should allow him to control it. The past 2 years he hadnt fed deer much just threw out corn a few times here and there. I never pursued hunting it because when we first met him him and his mom asked us not to hunt it because his mom doesnt like hunting and thats what i had always been told. So i respected that. This month he asked if i could put my cam in there so we can feed and hunt in there. I said sure since i had always wanted to hunt in there and then last week he told me he doesnt want us to sit in separate spots he wants us to sit together. Well i kind of said that i dont mind sittin with someone a few times but i like to sit by myself and he totally disregarded that and kept doing what he was doing. Hes my best friend i have just decided not to hunt with him all the time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dbHunterNY Posted August 19, 2013 Report Share Posted August 19, 2013 no disrespect but he sounds shady. lol if he was your buddy he shouldn't care as long as you aren't going to bail on him all the time to hunt alone. sounds like you've got things under control. just don't hunt with him all the time like you said.
