Twelve Pointer
I've been hunting the same property for several years now that has one large beaver pond and about 20 acres of flooded timber. I was the only one duck hunting here with one other guy that we shared deer hunting rights with and I never had any problems until last season. I started getting trail cam pics of some teenagers walking around with shotguns. I mentioned it to the landowner and that was it. Well I went out last month to check my camera and as I was leaving a man stood in the road waving his hand at me. Long story short, he called the farmer who came down and told me I had torn his field up and cost him a lot of money. I tried to tell him I hadn't driven anywhere off the path but he wasn't interested anything I had to say. After a while I grew tired of his accusations and left. I called my dad and we spoke with the landowner who agreed that he had never seen us driving off the path.
Well at church this morning my dad pulls me aside and said that we lost that farm! I know it's the landowners choice but I did nothing wrong and feel confident those kids I had pics of where out there goofing off. It's just horrible timing to lose your main duck hole.
It's very hard to find decent land to hunt and even harder to find a good duck hole that isn't over hunted in my area. On top of this the guide I normally use booked up and I didn't get in so I'm feeling pretty discouraged about the upcoming season. Looks like I'll be spending my weekends fighting the crowds at public boat ramps.
Sorry for the long rant
