Raylan Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I thought that was why God invented backhoes? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Allie Mo, SASS No. 25217 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 We are good-to-go for two. There is a 10 acre property next to us that is mostly a hill. At the top there is a hole (grave size). Our property has one too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Utah Bob #35998 Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 There were several No Trespassing signs when I brought the property. I have taken them all down and replaced them with “No Hunting Without Permission” signs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've even put together a packet, including copies of my hunting license, my certificate from the MA State Hunter Safety class, and my MA and NH Bar cards - everything I can think of to overcome the local lefty concern that hunters/gun owners are redneck nutcases. No takers. Had one "gentleman farmer" convinced (i thought) that I could help reduce the level of deer damage to his fruit trees and ornamentals with some modest hunting pressure. All looked good, until he asked how I would assure that the deer would be shot and removed out of sight from his home - he didn't want to risk the chance that his wife or kids might see a deer being shot or dragged. End of negotiation; I tried to explain that I had no agreement with the deer to only be shot out-of-sight of the house, and not to run toward the house after being shot. He didn't get the humor.

Eyesa Horg Posted November 15, 2019 Share Posted November 15, 2019 I just wish hunters would ask first. It annoys the hell out of me when someone I don't even know just come parading into my set. Some have even said "Well it's not posted". Permission is just simple courtesy and at least you could inform a prospective hunter to please avoid certain areas or call the night B4 to inform he will be stalking around on your property. Sorry for the rant---- it just makes me nuts, and that's a short order! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
