sprkplug,
I actually gave up deer hunting for the same reasons. Got tired of competing with poachers and idiots. Calling in violations was a joke as it would take at least 3 days for someone to get back to me. Didn't matter if you had exclusive permission as there would be always be someone trying to trespass. I once had a guy standing below my tree stand at first light!
Same goes for the large local lakes which IMHO aren't even safe for the average angler in a small boat anymore on weekends. I was told to fish on the weekdays. Why should I?
I was almost hit head on once at night by a speed boat with no lights. The intoxicated passengers laughed about it when I illuminated them with my light.
Sure glad I have my own slice of heaven on the property and don't have to deal with them anymore. I feel sorry for those who don't have that option.
