hi,
all I can say is that I lost my spot for hunting 2 days before hunting and I had 2 options.
- going around ion dirt roads and kill a dear when i would see one in a field somewhere.
- ask a farmer for permission to hunt on his land.
Well, I got a very interesting surprise with my asking.
Kill me a dear and the price will be xxx and if you don't the price will be xxxx.
From what I read in your post my friend, I believe there's a poacher or another permission with a super deal with it.
Anyway, there is definitly something wrong with your hunting area and I hope for your hunting sake that it is not my second taught.
Hope you have success with the hunting.
Michael
