I've built a great relationship with a land-owner who has 250 acres near me. Took a bear there earlier, had a few others come in, and there are a ton of deer on the property. Oh yeah, there are elk there too from time to time.

I have written permission to hunt this landlocked piece of property, and it is accessed through an easement of an adjacent property owner. Well, I ran into one trespasser on the property a few weeks back, and a few days later I ran into a neighbor who said he had upset the adjacent property owner by cutting a trail across their property to access the piece of property I have permission for so they could hunt illegally. Cool folks.

Apparently one of these two guys, or a friend of theirs, told the property owner who's land I need to cross that I shot my bear on their property, not my landowner's property. Nice!

I gave my landowner all of the specifics, even going down to providing exactly where the bear was shot, and expired, including GPS coordinates. Pictures taken of the bear have those coordinates imbedded in them.

My landowner believes what I am telling them, but the other landowner is a bit jaded, probably after years of having bad elk hunters chasing elk through their property. I may lose my hunting on this property as my land owner tries to appease the other neighbor, so that the poachers can have free rein. Wow.

I have fixed gates, picked up trash and debris left by logging activity on both properties as an act of good will. Part of my cost to access the property, in my opinion, but entirely lost on the adjacent land owner. My landowner is attempting to work it out, but two months of scouting may be lost. Fuckity, Fawk, fawk, fawk.

That's a chity deal, Andy...

If'n you have pictures with a good background I.e. trees etc.... Shouldn't be a problem showing where you dumped that bear...

This is a little guy timber owner. Coffe shop rumors from people I don't know and have never met got their feathers ruffled.

Yup, photos show exactly where the bear was taken, identifiable trees, plus rub marks from where our snatch blocks were attached to haul the bear up from the area where he finally stopped.

Shittty deal Andy!

Hopefully all will get worked out for you.....

Weyerhauser, St paul-st regis-champion now hancock use to be open all years back.. However they found a way to make a buck and jumped on it...
I for one would have been ok with it closed back then instead of finding my equipment with bullet holes in em' and some that were in the tens of thousands to fix... eng blocks, windows, cowling, fuel tanks, fire suppression water tanks etc. you name it they shot it...
It anything was loose they would steal it (lost a mechanical skycar).

All it takes is one bad apple to ruin it for ALL!!!

Situation resolved!

Good deal. I was going to suggest you go have a friendly face to face with the landowner. That tends to go a long way and people like knowing who they are dealing with.

That's what I had been suggesting all along.

That's why I hunt public land or private land with public access. I don't want to deal with other property-to-property drama. Although I have have been confronted by adjoining property owners. Fuchin' sucks when somebody gets the case of the ass over somebody else's fuch up and the whole crew gets the wrap.

Many access points, Wynoochee River, losted because of trash or in 1 case....told wife to "mind her own business", when she commented on the "over the limit" fish they were carrying. Land is now posted!!!!!!!!!!!!

On this property it is worth the effort.

I got the diversion dam acces reopened through garbage pickup. A little effort goes a long way.
