I sure can relate
@Addicting. The amount of hunters in places you never used to see them is crazy. I think the area is hunt is similar to your area lots of smaller tracts 80 acres and under quite a few even less. I've admittedly never hunted public around here but I think I may start. Public might be less crowded than some of the private these days. Everybody likes to sit right on the property edge now (pet peave). At least with public its fair game for all. When its smaller private tracts everyone seems to have a sense of entitlement which leads to a lot of drama. Waterfowl hunting is possibly worse than deer hunting. I used the easement on my grandparents farm (this particular piece is landlocked) a few years ago and the property that the easement runs through is leased, had the owner of the club tell me I was in the wrong and had no business there. Farm has been in my grandma's family since the 1920's and the road is named after my great grandpa. What a f&#k stick. People have really ruined it for me around home the last few years. I wish you luck with whatever happens, its frustrating. You're oure definitely not alone.
