    This is the 2nd year in a row I've had to sit on the sidelines during the rut because of lost property.I left Wed morning to hunt Wed evening thru Sat only to find after I hang my stand that the people that have the say tells me they prefer not to have any hunting going on. Seems they found a dead deer with an arrow in it (not mine, I wasn't even there) and frowned upon it. They said they knew it wasn't me but know with bowhunting that that sort of thing happens and they don't want dead dear with arrows in them for their children to see. This is residential hunting at it's best. So I sit it out again and do house chores on my vacation. I did lose a doe over there but this was a scrub buck that was found so my feeling is my doe lives on.

    Sorry to hear, Rick. Hopefully you'll be able to find more property to hunt.

    Sorry to hear, but I can understand their point (residential deer hunting.. odd). Anyway, best wishes to find some place to hunt!
