Not sure? I don't want to jeopordize a potential full season lease yet. When is opening day ? I may have to let you know "last minute" on this request.

Too far away from home, didn't get to use it as much as they thought they were going to. I sense finances might have entered into the equation as well. I lowered the cost this year.

The land is real nice. I wish I had more time to spend up there and enjoy it. The neighboring farmer has a 600 acre dairy farm. He takes hay off the front fields and I have him watching the property. Once it was leased, he stepped away from watching things so much, thinking the land should be used and enjoyed by the leasing hunters. I am using the money I receive from the lease to help pay my Real Estate taxes, which have gone up considerably. I never charged the farmer for the hay, they are struggling as it is. He mowed fields are worth it to me. I have seen turkey's, coyotes (they call then coy dogs) bobcat and moose tracks (once) .

This morning I posted my land for lease and I was so excited to see all the responses when I got home from work, until I read them! First, let me say, I regret that the feeder was ever put on my property and I regret posting those photos. I do not hunt deer and do not know the NY hunting laws very well. It’s been 15 years since I hunted grouse on that property. I am a long distance absentee landowner with hopes of being able to afford to build a cabin on that land some day. I only get up there once a year at best. The previous hunters leasing the land left this equipment. I went up in the spring and found it left there. I had no use for it so I put it out at the road with a “free” sign on it. I took the chip out of the camera and never thought twice about the photos. Here in NJ, deer feeders are very common and found everywhere, all year round. I honestly didn’t know that they were illegal to use in the summer months in NYS. Nonetheless, the hunter leasing my land should have known! They were required to sign a lease with the leasing company that assured that they would be abiding by all the game laws. I cannot watch over them and see how many rabbits they kill or how many deer or what methods are being used. This was their responsibility to follow the hunting laws when they leased my land. If requested, I will certainly hand over the copy of the lease to the authorities and let them inquire about these hunters with the leasing company I had used. In the meantime, there are no deer feeders on my land and I now know what to do if I ever find any.
