New Hunting Location

[marineimaging]

After 4 years I finally found a spot that the landowner is begging me to hunt. They had a recent sounder destroy 3 different 3-5 acre spots where they want to plant hay this season but are not going to turn it and plant until we can eradicate the buggers. There will be a trapper in there next week but I have retained the O.K. to hunt. I walked the approx 120 acres the other day and would say about 50 percent forested and 50 percent pasture in odd shapes. All I have to do is let them know I am there and go on in. The only problem is that with all of this rain the ground is way too wet for my truck. A 4 wheeler, no problem. However, they stuck a 4x4 trying to pull out a 2wd and finally had to get a tractor to get them out. Anyway guys, I am going back up there this week or next weekend. The location is Crockett. Does anybody with night gear live near there that might be interested if I can get permission for a 2-3 person hunt? I am not sure if they will allow several guns out there but I am sure going to try and see.

Congratulations on the spot. I live about 90 min. from Crockett. I'm still collecting my night vision gear and I have to go back to work next weekend or I would be volunteering. Still need a weapon mount and 3x amp. for my PVS 14. Let me know if you still need help in early Mar.

Update..., I had this all wrapped up and ready to move my RV to site when others got involved and pulled the plug. Afraid of injury and law suits. I still have my son-in-laws property and we have evidence of hogs on the property so I will still move the RV up there to launch out of but losing those 60 acre parcels is a bummer. Oh, well. I will keep my joy unabashed and my head held high and keep on keepin on.

That is a bummer, with any luck you will find another spot.

The NRA has a liability form on their website that you can offer to sign if it would make the land owner feel better about it.

Thanks, I will look into that with the NRA.

The NRA also offers Hunter's Insurance in different increments at a reasonable cost. Having insurance to cover a potential accident may make the landowner feel better about letting you hunt as well.
