    Disgusted...

    So I don't really post on the forum. However, I certainly enjoy reading all of the post and seeing the end results of many long hours in the woods, but after what just happened I'm not sure what to think about people.

    I have hunted this piece of property (125 acres) in 6g for the past 14 years. Over the course of those years I have done a ton of work for the couple who own the property. Every spring I clear the trails, built two wood sheds, snowblow their driveway, resided their house (yes they pay for materials) & built their grandson the most kick ass treehouse a 5yr old could ask for among other things. And never once did I accept money. My reply was always "you let me hunt and that is more than enough payment for me." 

    So as I pull in to park this afternoon I see a truck parked where I park. Knowing no one else is to be on the property I go to the house to notify them so they can take whatever action they'd like. And this is where the shock comes in...I go to tell the husband there is a truck parked and he replies "yeah, you see a couple guys stopped a few hours ago and asked to hunt because of the deer in the field. And before I could say no they offered me xxxx amount to get rights to hunt it for now on so I agreed...you understand, right?" I stood there in stunned silence...absolutely shocked. His reply to the now awkward silence "you've been really good to is but these guys are willing to pay."

    I turned and just walked away, got in my truck and drove home...disgusted with what just happened. I am sitting in my truck in my driveway still in shock.

     

    Okay, rant/disgust over...had to let it out before I go tell my wife what happened. 

     

     

     

    Truly do feel for you  ..... Guess it's never a sure thing in those type of situations. Certainly says a lot about the land owner(s)

    Shot him in his bed at 7:15 found him at 8:15 had to finish him off. 17.5" wide haven't weighed him yet but I'm guessing 185lbs.

    Started dragging at 8:30 just now made it out to road at 4:55, absolutely the most brutal drag of my life! Can't wait to get him hung and see what he weighs and start drinking beers!

    Last night was a very rough one for me, we found out the old mans leukemia has moved to stage 4. Today my brother and him are all hunting my hundred acre wood lot in SZ they have their Xbows. On the ride over hear we all decided that today we are going to try and kill a buck God only knows how many chances we will have for the 3 of us to be together.

    There is no way that I could list all the crap that I have bought over the years. I have drawers full of sights, arrow rests, releases, stabilizers,  finger-guards, arm guards and all kinds of gizmos and go-fasters. I also have a wall full of bows (11 of them) that were all high end bows in their day. Also, I have an assortment of arrows that I cannot get both of my hands around. We're talking thousands of dollars. I used to be one to chase every fad going. Then one day I realized that the first compound that I ever owned had taken more deer than any of the bows that followed. The old Bear Whitetail Hunter with wheels everywhere and eccentrics and steel cable and those heavy old indestructible epoxy limbs that you could use as a pry-bar, actually killed more deer and just as dead as any of the abandoned bows hanging on the wall that I bought after the fever began and I started thinking I could buy guarantees.....lol. I put an end to buying archery equipment since then but I can't bring myself to throw out any of the trinkets that fill those drawers. They're all are memory joggers of the glory-years of my bow-hunting and shooting.

    My first compound was the Bear Whitetail Hunter ..... really liked that bow at the time and was successful with it. Not sure what happened to it.
