Missed160 Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Here is the problem I am having. I hunt on a certain farm. Directly to the west the farmers brother owns a farm. He allows a bunch of losers to hunt, and doesn't really care what they do. So these guys keep coming onto MY farm, I found them in one of my stands. My farmer is really bothered by what they are doing & how they hunt. He keeps saying he is going to post that end of the property, and said he has now bought the signs. BUT, he just doesn't get around to it.. My problem is, how do I get him to do it. I don't want to sound pushy, or cause any problems between him & his brother, I would just like him to hang the signs he said he was going to... What would you guys do?

popgun Posted November 22, 2004 Report Share Posted November 22, 2004 Re: Tough Situation, Need help. Offer to hang the signs and paint trees for him. Ask him to show you the exact boundary. Once you have made the offer, do it. If you make the offer and he accepts, and you back out on a little labor, you may not have that place to hunt. Good luck. .....popgun Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

buckee Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: Tough Situation, Need help. POPGUN said it all...I agree totally. I'm surprised you never thought of it. I posted some land I hunt on a couple years ago, after getting our stands stolen. All I did was ask the property owner if it was OK and I went out and bought the signs and put them up myself. If he's going to post his property, he's obviously doing it for you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
whitetailkiller Posted November 23, 2004 Report Share Posted November 23, 2004 Re: Tough Situation, Need help. i agree with everyone else...... i only hunt 104 acres and as soon as the season is over the land owner and i are gonna go around posting, he needs to be with me for the sake of getting the boundaries exactly right!!!!!!! but i'm paying for the signs and staples.......... good luck with your issue and i hope things work out for you!!!!!

JimT Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Re: Tough Situation, Need help. I would go do it for him. This could be touchy so be careful. I doubt he would pick you over his brother if a feud erupted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
buckee Posted November 26, 2004 Report Share Posted November 26, 2004 Re: Tough Situation, Need help. Pretty easy since you've obviously already disgussed the signs with him before. Just walk up to him and say "Hey, about those NO TRESPASSING signs, I'd be happy to put them up for you and even supply the signs, if that's OK with you."
