For 10 years I've hunted the same area on two different connecting farms. For about 8 years I pretty much had the area to myself for bow hunting anyway. A few years ago a big deer (Little Eddie) brought much attention to the area and it hasn't been the same since. Despite my efforts to shoot does for the one of the landowners he is now allowing more hunters on his property. One guy last year put up a stand not 50 yards from one of mine. In the last couple weeks I've been doing my stand work and discovered 6 more stands in just in one timber. I ended up just pulling mine out. Hopefully I can work out something with the other hunters so we each have an area. So I'm down to one farm that it's mostly just me. There's one other guy that has one stand in an area I don't hunt and one very casually partime hunter that may or may not even hunt there. I guess eventually all good things come to an end. I sure wished I owned my own place.......................
