I do understand that it is his property but the whole rule thing get's me.
In the end, the part I put in bold is the most important-
IT’S HIS PROPERTY!
Hunt away from the boundary as much as possible,
Only take “good” shots, that
should anchor the deer right there.
(That’s just ”Ethics 101,” anyway.)
Be grateful that he’s willing to let you on, at all.
Around here, we get the same folks, year after year, who want to “track a wounded deer” hither and yon. Other landowners get tired of having the blaze orange army traipsing across their land, making noise and leaving who knows what kinds of scent behind…
Everywhere that I’ve ever lived, or hunted… going onto the neighbor’s property has only been possible when they’ve extended a courtesy to me.
As a young man, I thought it would be nice to own a chunk of hunting land. Now that I see the continuous hassles that many landowners go through continuously around here… “No, Thanks.”
