Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Hunter's Campfire Farmer Just Called Me....

I’ll tell ya what makes a nice noise...dragging 30ft of logging chain out of front end loader bucket lol

At about 7:05 am

That or go hammer the mortar out a wheel barrow. 🤪


Got someone that’s been working on a farm beside us this morning. It’s legit work so just the way it is.

Can do you one better than that.

Have a neighbor to a 240ish acre property that 3 of us have exclusive rights to. Guy owns a long, skinny 15 acre sliver with ours on three sides. Basically a chunk of side hill with bottom access via an easement. Parks at the bottom and drives a fuggin' four wheeler up, lol.

Rolls up on us last bow season and I shi.t you not starts telling us he has two target bucks he's seen in the field (ours) and he knows we have a stand in a point that juts into the field cause hes seen us walk in. Would appreciate it if we laid off that stand since he's targeting these bucks. Also, lets us know exactly where the property line is (thanks) and he will not be granting access to track deer if needed.

Welcomed him to the neighborhood. Informed him that not only would we be hunting the point we would also be hunting the ridge above his property frequently. And the edge of a bedding area on the opposite side of him. Likely a bale blind we'd go ahead and pull out of a utility shed on the farm and place right off the field edge under him. Might even get a crew together for some opening weekend drives during rifle season. Best of luck with those target bucks you've been watching on OUR property, lol.


He looked, in a word, dejected after the encounter. Must have played out differently in his head...

Always nice to hear stories of good ole country boy will survive ethics.

Our Game Wardens are pretty smart. So are the people who live here. Make it a point to raise hell during the morning and evening hunt times near hunters and it will be obvious what is going on. First we talk and if that doesn't work we call the Wardens. Cell phone video helps as well. We are not fugged up here. Also, most of the places here are bigger than a few acres and a little noise won't bother anyone. We will chit chat here before calling the Wardens. What neck of the country do you call home?

I’m north of you across the Red River. If someone is wants to shoot a round of trap every evening during deer season there ain’t a dang thing the guy across the fence can do about it as long as it’s not endangering him or his livestock. Unless I guess the guy target shooting was to admit that he was only shooting to mess up the neighbors’ hunt, but why would anyone say that.

I helped a rancher put up his hay, helped with spring round up and branding, helped again with fall round up, helped fix a broken water line. I now have a place to hunt.

Being a "Jackass" can apply both ways... Sometimes a "Jackass" action results in consequential "Jackass" actions by others.

Don't foget................................bring 'em a pie wit dat ham.

Thank you for proving my point.

That you are a jackass, sure any time.

Yer in WI... Plenty of public lands to hunt on... BTDT...

This right here ^^^^^^^^ that is the best way to get hunting rights granted to you on anything I own

Typical YANKEE. Connecticut deserves you.

Wife and I have a saying ... “once you say yes, you can never say no”. If you say no upfront, people don’t get too upset, if you say yes then a couple years later say no you’ve made an enemy for life.

Years ago a part-time resident/neighbor asked me to give him a private landowner elk tag authorization to hunt on somebody else’s land. I had an extra so gave it to him. Didn’t hear anything from him until the next year, he asked for another, and I gave him another. Still didn’t hear from him until ayear later he asked for a third authorization ... I said sure, but you’ll have to give half the meat if you get an elk. He gave a nasty look and said no, I haven’t heard from him since.

I have a love/hate relationship with hunting season.

That is quite a punch in the gut with the 9 day gun season 2 weeks away. Hope you can find an alternative, maybe something even better may come out of this.

Some in this thread talked about ways to gain permission to hunt on private land. My Dad and I gave permission to hunt on our farms for several years and accepted good gestures of appreciation, but did not require it. A couple of incidents changed all that. A hunter helped around the farm during harvest and he was good help. Unfortunately he was involved in a accident when hooking up a grain cart and smashed a hand and broke his right hip. He sued for medical bills and loss of work and good thing we had liability insurance.

On another occasion, we gave a guy permission to retrieve a deer on our land and while leaving drove his SxS on a logging road and somehow rolled it into a ditch landing on top of him. His hunting buddies came looking for him later that night and stopped at Dad's house and he called me to help locate the guy. We found him pinned under the SxS and we called 911 for assistance. We got the SxS off him and he was complaining about his neck, but did not appear to suffer any other injuries. Long story, short he sued us for medical care, but we took it to court and before going to trial the suit was dropped after our lawyers determined his blood alcohol level was over the top, SxS was reported stolen, no deer hunting license, was in the third year of a 5 year suspended hunting and fishing fine. You could say we dodged a bullet. That ended giving permission to outsiders, however neighbors that allow us to hunt on their land can hunt on ours.

Yikes, the cops shot him?

lots of idiots on here cant read and follow a conversation that a three old could.. ill shoot cans on my property if i plz and there aint a thing any warden will do about it.
gosh some of you are stupid.

Absolutely, I've posted this story before. I got a restraining order on him due to his shooting across our property to scare us after I booted him off our place. Short story, he violated the judge's orders, the sheriff came out to take him to jail. He and his mother came out with guns and confronted the sheriff. The sheriff killed them both. The idiot boy barely missed the sheriff with a load of buckshot.

People wanna fish, cut firewood, ride their horse, trap minnows, shoot gophers, hunt deer and pheasants and geese, trap/shoot coyotes, pick June berries, ride snow mobile, look for sheds, etc..


It never ends.
