I had so many problems I made a decision long ago to just say no, even though I would sometimes like to thin the deer, etc. One issue would make for a bad day, or hard feelings. About 3 years after I moved onto the place I gave someone permission to hunt, and I thought he understood that he would let me know if he was on the place. Guess not, as one night I saw lights and drove down that way to investigate (this was a coon hunter). I saw it was his truck, and since I was not feeling well, and just out of the hospital I drove back to the house. I noticed he followed me up the drive, and I told my wife to just let him know everything was ok, and to just let us know going forward. He proceeded to tell my wife in a "hateful" manner that he could run his dogs anywhere he pleased, and there was nothing we could do. She informed him otherwise, and told him to get his dogs, and leave, and not return if that was his attitude. He never returned, and since I wanted rid of the "varmints", I took matters into my own hands and eliminated them with live trapping, and some lead as a follow up. It was odd that he seemed fine with letting me know initially, but seemed to not like that I was following up and checking on him, even though I had no idea who the lights belonged to. I told him when I see lights, I cannot tell the good guys from the bad, and unless he advised me I would check any activity I saw. Somehow he seemed to think that just because a guy up the road that had passed away years ago that gave him permission to hunt made it ok to hunt the entire area from now on. I have also found that often hunters that are otherwise honest, often get sidetracked, and become curious and I have found they enter areas or buildings they should not. I cannot count the times I have found outbuildings left open, or found evidence of entry, and usually this coincides with hunting season - not saying by any means that is the norm, or it is even the same individuals, but oddly enough since I started enforcing that no one enters the property period, I have not had nearly the issues with people going where they should not. Just my experience, and I know other areas and people are all different.
