Okay. I really don't expect to get any mind blowing answers but, figured you guys are a pretty good group to vent to. So I have a little over 170 acres on my main farm to hunt. But the true "huntable" acreage is probably 40 acres, maybe a bit more. The rest is fields of Christmas trees. I'm having a small issue, and before anyone chips in with the known, yes, I am SUPER LUCKY to have this land. But, anyways. I let very few people hunt here. A couple fireman buddies that may make it out once a year, my cousin who maybe makes it up every other weekend, if that, and my buddy and his son. The issue I'm starting to have is that my buddy and his son, who are very respectful and responsible hunters, are kind of starting to hunt more than I'd like the pressure to be. And because my buddy's son has a broken collarbone, they basically are limited to one stand, next to my 1 acre corn field. So they keep hunting that spot. I know it's my place but it's kinda hard to tell him that he can't be hunting as much, cuz he does offer to help her a lot and made it out a bunch to help do stuff on the farm. I'm just starting to see less movement in that area and that's one of my hot spots during the rut. I don't know if it's from the pressure or not. I'm just being slightly selfish and wanting to be able to hunt my better spots coming up and with the pressure, I'm afraid now we have other issues. Just wondering if anyone else has had the same issue. I'm probably just being ornery this week cuz I haven't gotten to hunt but, just wanted to vent.
