Any reason why you can't hunt some of their land?

I'm trying to talk one of my friends family to buy it (they own alot of other farmland around the area), and none of them deer hunt. The only thing is they don't usually buy land with a lot of woods.
Time will tell, we are not ruling out the possibilty of some guys coming up with some money.

And monsterhunter, I really appreciate the offer. Maryland is a little out there, but it sounds like a great place there.

We have been talking about all of the hunters from there getting together and getting pics of all the mounts and other deer that we have taken off the farm.
I will have to post them up if we ever get it all together. I think in all we have something like 20 mounts from just the last 15 years or so.

I've lost some great spots too. Seems right after we get their patterns figured out the owner sells or his son-in-law doesn't want us to hunt anymore. It's like loosing a good friend. We talk about hunts we had on this land or that. This year I found out the prime hunting area I have back east has been sold. I could literally see 100 deer in one day there. I don't think I'll even get out there before the closing for one last hunt. I just keep looking for new places and make new "friends" to make memories on.

Well got some GREAT news today. I had talked to a guy a few years ago about bowhunting on his family land. He said it would be fine, but that is as far as the conversation went.
I contacted him again and found out that it is over 300 acres and NO ONE bowhunts it. Even better, I drive by the land twice a week while working, and saw a 140 class 8 point, and 130 class 10 point feeding near it. I am pretty excited about this oppurtunity.
Some final details need to be worked out with the guys that shotgun hunt there, but this newest detail has me somewhat excited.
I also have been able to line up a few more land possibilites closer to my house when I don't have enough time to drive to this land.
It won't be as good as owning the land, but then again it is alot better than being packed in with public land hunters.

I'm sorry for your lose but this is one of the funniest things I've ever read. I'm sure you didn't mean it to sound this way but funny none-the-less.
...spent countless hours exploring the ridges, and all of the guys in our deer camp.
