When you don't own the property why do you feel that you should have exclusive access or make rules as to who does ?

Jeez, at least meet up and talk to the nephew. Find out what his intentions and expectations are and go from there. He may be only out for a trophy only or just fill a tag. Does he intend to bring all his buddies or keep it limited. He is not the landowner either. Talk to the landowner and maybe have a meeting with landowner, nephew and everyone involved. Maybe work on some rules and exchange phone numbers too.

No need, Kansas has more public hunting than I could hunt in a lifetime and I've gone entire rifle deer seasons without seeing another hunter afield.

I love hunting vast tracts of public land. I have not hunted private land since 2001, I said goodby to the drama š......Hb

I'd wait it out. The nephew may be a very casual or opening day only kind of hunter. I'd keep it through one more season.

I'd leave... I just don't want the intrusion and people hunting the wrong winds and "scouting" all the time etc... not for me. Too many other good places to hunt to have several people crowded in on 65 acres every week.

If your not paying for it I would keep it as an available option but look around for some more. I wouldn't invest on any food plots or that sort of improvement. The other guys interest may disintegrate quickly. Iām on a 4000 acre lease with 9 other hunters and you have the same concerns even on a big tract.

From a 65 acre property I've had exclusive permission to for the last 10 years. The landowner nephew and buddies are now allowed to hunt it.. Nephew is 20 something maybe 30..
Anyway I don't want to invest my time and $ into a property where others are benefitting.
Landowner offered to have the new crew split work and cost of plots and such. Just opens up cans of worms I don't feel like dealing with. I prefer to hunt away from others. Unless family. I don't want to hunt where someone else just fogged it up not knowing how to hunt the wind or properly enter and exit..
My hunting buddy and son think we should hold on if we can keep archery secured.
I think we should bail.
We killed a pile of deer there and some damn good ones. Hate to end the memories but hate a hassle also.
Have you hunted with them before? How do you know they're "going to fog it up" and not work as hard as you? They might work harder and hunt better than you do....give them a chance any maybe you can all benefit. It kinda sounds like the landowner is doing you a favor by giving you a chance to hunt it even though he's going to let his family hunt it now.
Camp is where you make it.

Sure sounds cheaper than buying land.

I think you should give it a chance.
These fellas might be some really good-hearted guys.

Seems every time I lose a piece of property another one comes available. I had a 2 acre tract in a suburban Atlanta that was awesome. Killed lots of deer and several nice bucks over a 10 year period. Then one day the owner gave permission to another guy. The guy put his blind up 3 yards away from my climber when I went to the store at lunch. Came back an hour later to get back in the stand and he was sitting in his blind. Public land in Georgia means hordes of people unless you plan on hunting weekdays and walking 2-3 miles in. Which means you're dragging a deer 2-3 miles back. I bought a house with 30 acres and then bought 25 acres adjoining it. Best investment ever. NO more dealing with jack asses.

Sounds like a My House My Rules situation. If I didn't like the new setup Id leave it to the guy's nephew. I got two small farms of my own to hunt so I'm set in two states.
