Their borders are taking beating by those that could care less....and have ran out of deer to shoot on places they used to hunt.
The property borders are killing us...especially during the late antlerless season. Two out of the last three years, there has been corn on neighboring properties well into the winter months. Those fields draw every deer for miles once other food sources dry up.
Also, noticing increased evidence of trespassing. With 40 days of gun hunting...it is virtually impossible to keep close tabs on the property.
