J.ALLEN.IA Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Yesterday opened 2nd shotgun in IA, I went out early in the morning saw a nice buck, but didn't have a buck tag left. Went out in the evening didn't see a thing, but other guys walking to nearby timber. When leaving the property, the landowner was waiting outside the house. I stopped to say good evening as I have done in the past, when she was angry. She started telling me that I had no permission to hunt, to put up a blind, I was tearing up her property, and I was hunting illegally by being in the timber before the 30 minutes before sunrise and after dark. She told me that once I left I was done. I was completely shocked since I have been hunting out their since the season started and have no know issues with what I was doing. I had a ground blind up for a month before and went back yesterday morning to put it out again. I was given permission by her son & son-in-law to be able to drive out to put up stands and to park while hunting. Additionally, believed that I asked in the summer to deer hunt, and guess she only wanted me to bow hunt. I went back today to get all of my stands and blind. I am shocked, and take being a positive hunter and sportsman seriously since I am privelaged to hunt on someone else's property. Not sure what to do, if anything? I wanted to be able to hunt other properties in the area, and this won't help when I go to ask them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dawg Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 If it were me, I would call her son and son in law and have a meeting with the three of them and discuss the issue. Don't let it slide, find out exactly what they thought was the agreement and voice your side of it. Hope everything works out for ya.

fly Posted December 15, 2008 Report Share Posted December 15, 2008 Last year something like that happened to me. I have permission to bow hunt a farm (not firearm). I bowhunted in October, then left for several weeks during the gun seasons. When I returned in December to continue bowhunting there were no tresspassing signs everywhere as well as chains over the entryways. I called the landowner immediately to discuss the issue. Apparently several hunters had rutted up his fields during the gun season and since he didn't know exactly who it was put the signs up for everyone. Well after speaking with him on the phone and even taking a trip out to his house I retained permission to bowhunt his farm. A result of that call: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
