Tough Call...need advice
I am about to close the deal on and 18.5 acre property in Alabama with my parents. We are buying it for business purposes, but my Dad and I had already planned to hunt it for the rest of the season before we start clearing it for the business. The lady that owns the land gave someone permission to hunt it this season. When we walked the land there are some salt blocks, couple of hang on stands, and a good bit of deer sign.What would you do?

If it were me and i bought it, i would find out whos stuff that was and get them out of there. Thats just me though, i have enough of a hard time keeping tresspassers off of some of my land.

If this is your only spot to hunt, then I wouldn't feel bad about asking them to remove their stuff. At least talk to them. Maybe they have other places to hunt as well.
But, if you other land to hunt on and don't really have to hunt there, then I'd be a somewhat lenient on them and ask them to remove it at the end of the season.
If it's not your's yet, then it's the landowners call. Maybe they were not suppose to be ther in the first place.

If you own it, remove that junk and lock the gate. She can not give permission to land she no longer owns. Even if it is in a contract, the contract ended when she sold the property. If you do not own it yet, looks like you are out of luck.

Once you close on the land, they no longer have permission to be there and should be informed by the seller prior to closing to give them a heads up. I'm in a similar situation with regard to amount of acreage and everybody and their brother wanting to hunt it. It's simply not enough land for three or four hunters. As mentioned, maybe a schedule to finish out the season is in order if you are feeling guilty about giving them the boot. You do have the right as the new owners to kick them to the curb though.
