End of another ERA
« on: November 01, 2014, 03:27:00 PM »
Sad but I knew it would come. The area I have been hunting(public) for the last 15 years has been found by a group of police officers from a nearby town. Totally took over the whole area, all my stand areas have a shiny new ladder or climber within 15 yards.
Not knocking them, don't get me wrong. I wish them many years of luck to come.
I had quite a thing going for a while there! Took a lot of deer, great memories.
Happens all the time here in Eastern Massachusetts, no area lasts long.
Sad that it has come and gone, like many others.
But excited to what changes the future will bring.
I was comfortable there, and knew it well. Now I will be once again searching for a new spot, with new adventures and learning experiences to come.
Life moves on!

Life goes on, and in the overall scheme of things not a huge deal.
   A new challenge and a new chapter, with your attitude you will do fine.

Don't think your the first one to lose a good spot to hunt. All the spots I had growing up are now full of houses, or posted as gentleman horse farms. Even public land here is not what it was even 15 years ago. Hope you can find a new "good" spot!

It's so unfortunate... And I know exactly how you feel. I lost two great spots this year. Stands all over, brush and trees cut. I am beyond disappointed. Even the private land I hunt has stands within 10 feet of the property lines in places, the frustration just goes on.

Hope you continue to make memories in new spots!!

That's unfortunate, for sure.  Remember the old saying about when one door closes another one opens.  You'll find another good huntin' area!

I'm in the same boat, but due to different circumstances. I lost my lease of the last 15yrs a couple months ago. To say I was comfortable there would be an understatement! I too am looking forward to new opportunities!

Good luck to you for finding some new ground to hunt!

I know the feeling. Just remember, one door closes, another opens.

Sorry to hear it.  You have a great attitude about it.  One of the reasons that I never considered hunting without camo.  Just as important for me to not advertise my hunting spots to other hunters after I did the work scouting.

If you know the area well figure out how they will alter the deer movement patterns.

The area is not that big. The alternate pattern pushes them across into posted land.
I just don't want to hunt around this many guys anyway. Not my thing.
20,000 humans per square mile as it is, hunting should get me away from that. Im not willing to allow it into my down time.
Im moving out.

Been there done that. Don't totally give up. Just take them into account. Other hunters can actually help.
They can make the deer move to a new secluded area you can capitalize on.
