I just received a text that made me circle back to this post - it's the middle of the Rut here in IL and for a bowhunter this is the time to be in a tree...a great buddy of mine checked his trail cam card on the way to his stand this morning and had a pic of a coon hunter and about 5 coon dogs going all around the stand he was hunting in - they came through about 4 hours before he did.

It's inconsiderate jerks like the folks described in this post that make most private landowners post their ground. It's why mine has 'no trespassing' signs all around it.
