I was sitting on my tailgate Sunday morning waiting on my dad to come out of the woods and 3 different trucks existed from the small tract of land across the dirt road from my property. One of them stopped and asked if I needed any additional members on my club. I told him no as we only had 230 acres and had 5 of us hunting it. He laughed and said there were 5 hunters hunting the 35 acre tract of private land directly across the road from us. I said "are you serious, isnt that a little crowded". He said the private landowner leased it out to 2 different persons and each person then had a couple of buddies in on it. So, on both opening morning and on Sunday morning, they had 5 hunters hunting on this 35 acres. They all saw deer and 3 does were taken according to him. I did hear alot of shooting over there.
I hope they all don't anticipate killing a bunch of deer each as I don't see how 35 acres can support very many deer harvests. I hate to hear that type of hunting pressure is so close to my property and what is worse is that all 5 of these hunters live within 10 miles of the land, so they hunt it all week. Hopefully the pressure on their side of the road will push the deer over to my hunting land as we have light pressue on our land.
