Somebody already has.

It just always makes me roll my eyes when these rich guys tell people to go out and just buy some land or join a club. It’s like, “Holy crap! Why didn’t they ever think of that?!”

I own a TON of land. You are welcome to hunt it as well.

Ha. I actually do own land. But to me telling people they should just go buy some or get in a club like they never thought of it or wouldn’t have already if they could is obnoxious. I see the bat signal has gone up. I’m out. Cheers.

GUESS I STEPPED IN A MESS. ACTUALLY IM CONCERNED ABOUT A HIKER WALKING IN MY PATH AND GETTING SHOT. AGAIN I WAS THERE AND THIS TIME DRUG DEALS GOING ON. DANG CANT WE HUNT IN PEACE. ON ANOTHER NOTE- SAW NO DEER IN THE THREE SISTERS MT FOREST. BUT ON THE WAY HOME ABOUT 3 MILES I COUNTED 32 DEER IN MY NEIGHBORHOOD. WE ARE LOADED! 21 IN A PASTURE RIGHT BEFORE MY HOUSE AND WE CANT SHOOY HERE.. HOA RULE. DAHLONEGA FULL OF DEER
No offense sir but if you are worried about a hiker walkin in your path and gettin shot you may wanna back off huntin for a bit n work on basic safety and huntin/shootin skills

Yep, Deer become familiar with the safety of not being hassled in an area. I live in the woods in middle GA and leave deer eating acorns in my yard to go out on the farm to hunt em. LOL

I have a sure fire ground blind permanently set up for youngsters that is 70 yards in front of the house. It is brushed in on the edge of the 1/4 mile long electric service line right of way coming off the county road.

If you set up a little further from the well worn trails, the hikers will be safe and will not bother you or the deer.

Don't hunt on hiking trails. One of the best places I've ever hunted around here is a draw hunt on a state forest that is used by thousands of hikers, mountain bikers, horseback riders, and such. That is a good thing because the deer get used to people. If I walk my butt back into the woods off the trails, I never see a one of the aforementioned people.
