bowhunten4life Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 So I was talking to my lil brother a lil while ago, and he was telling me about our property that we hunt down in southern Indiana. We have permission for almost 2000 acres, but it is split up in different pieces. This morning he was hunting one about 120 acres, and he said he caught 7 people on the property just TODAY! I guess they came in from the back of property, but what irrates me the most, is I always let small bucks walk, and there is one buck, that i have been trying to get for the past 3 years. Every year I see him, but never get the right shot. You all know how it goes. But I guess, those guys shot a small 8 point, and was telling my brother how one of them shot a 14 pointer over the weekend. This was my buck. Last year, he was a 15. He was probably about 6 1/2 years old, and it just really gets to me. I try so hard to manage the property well, not shoot everything up, and just hold out for trophy bucks, but these fools come in shoot all over the place(my brother said they shot about 20 times this MORNING). They shoot everything that moves, and their style of hunting is to just drive deer all day long. The worst thing about it is, my brother didnt say ANYTHING to them, about them trespassing. So now they are going to think hey its ok. I wish I wasnt stuck over here in Germany, because I would be on my way there with the DNR officer. As I type this, they are dragging a small 8 point off of the property. ARGH! Its just so frustrating! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wtnhunt Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Re: FRUSTRATED!!!!! That is too bad, I take it the 7 guys did not have any permission? Get pretty frustrated here too, but I just have a small piece of land. I really think trying to manage it for better deer just causes me that much more frustration.

spineshot Posted November 21, 2006 Report Share Posted November 21, 2006 Re: FRUSTRATED!!!!! That is a sad situation. i would have your brother go in and clean house with a dnr officer or police for trespassing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest rds Posted November 22, 2006 Report Share Posted November 22, 2006 Re: FRUSTRATED!!!!! I'm with you, I got permission for a great area and I always see stands all over. Last year I sat just below the top of a hill and heard a deer coming on opening day and just on the other side of the hill I hear "bang". I walked over and asked the guy if had permission and he said he didn't know he needed it. I thought that's why there are posted sings every where.
