Slim, I’ve come across land owners that were just too much hassle to deal with. I used to primarily hunt a for farmers, a lot of small pieces of land that total up to a 180k (the number i was told) block with the river going through it. There was one farmer that I dealt with and the other land owners had put him in charge of managing the pigs for the whole area, and he framed some of their land as well. My mentor hunted this for 12-15 years and then gave me the rights to it.
Well there, it’s a kill only place due to all the crops they destroy. One landowner wanted to meet me first time I came out there. He was an ass from the very beginning. We got on pigs right off the rip, 5 minutes in to the hunt. He got pissed that the pigs were on his corn and told us not to come back and he’d call game wardens if we did. He claimed my mentor wasn’t doing a good enough job hunting it. Well that man literally hunts and trains dogs for a living and was running that land 5-6 days a week, 12+ hours at a time. He’s well known for how many pigs he kills...
well the landowner acting like that didn’t sit well with the other land owners who were friends with my mentor and grateful for how hard he was hunting for them. Well if you hit pigs in his field they always ran to our other properties surrounding his. It’s near impossible to hunt there and stay on the property. So the other land owners made it known that anyone that came from his land on to theirs would be prosecuted. After that he couldn’t get anybody to come hunt his land, and we hunted everything around him. Didn’t take long for his fields to become the pigs safe haven and they ruined his crops bad. All because of his attitude and reputation.
He was known for constantly screwing over other people including some old widows that lived out there on their family land after their husbands had passed away. Just goes to show that what comes around goes around.
Thought I had a point here but it kinda just turned in to an unrelated story lol

Lol I hear ya man, long story short, we ran into a guy like that years ago. We Had 3k plus of permission, 50 acres in the middle I knew we couldn’t touch. Bayed a boar hog next door, owner of the that 50 acres had the place we were on leased and called the law. Every landowner made their approval known and the law left and he helped us pull a truck out and a get the hog out of the woods. Hunt across his place to this day.
