Saturday morning I went out...saw a couple does....

Went to check a cam with a buddy afterwards...Stand was gone, srew in steps were gone and the straps for the stick were cut but the climbing stick was still there....

YEsterday afternoon, I went to one property....a black truck was sitting there with wayne county plates....I called the land owner and he said he would be over...I posted up at their truck with shotgun in hand....HE came over the hill on the 4-wheeler and he flushed them out like we were driving deer....THeir eyes got about as big as watermelons when they saw me standing there..After I went bananas on them the owner arrived and went bananas on them....CLearly, they knew they were tresspassing.....

Went to the next spot....A spot I have high hopes for...sat there about an hour and them BOOOOMMMM. Boooommm...shot hitting the tree Im sitting in directly. It wasnt raining shot, it was direct shot....THen it happened again, then a 22 bullet went whizzing by me....So once again I went bananas and out emerged 2 dirty beard pissing in amish.....Once again, tresspassing.... After I called them everything but whitemen, we established they were not to be there. SO at thsi point my night was screwed and I assume that spot is also...THere are 3 deer on this one property that are 4+... Mature deer dont tolerate such BS...

WHen everyone is scratching their heads and wondering why leasing is so bad... Well here you go.... I just dont understand why people are so stupid....Ok my rant is done...

Lease or not things like this will happen. Just because you tossed down a grand doesn't put a magic fence around the property.
Sucks to hear your spots are being screwed up by people that have little reguard for others and saftey man. That sucks for sure. Here is to high hopes you can still pull out a good one this season Zach.

Mason and I walked past to tresspassers that were fishing the creek yesterday. Not a lot I'm gonna do about that since the landowner doesn't mind too much. It didn't effect as at all thankfully, and we still had a great hunt. Idiots are just part of hunting in Ohio. The good thing about hunting in a low-deer area is that we no longer have too many folks hunting!:) Glad you survived the experience.

No....No sense in it...It would have been 3 hours minimum before they got there...We have some class act law enforcement in our county...

Yup. When you have trespassers taking shots at you, this is an issue. It is possible they were just squirrel hunting (thus the 22's), but they were still trespassing. Anyone taking shots at other hunters needs to be dealt with by the law.
