I got it on my Grandmas Farm in October on 10/25/08, It is an 8 pointer. I sat in my grandmas barn in the hay room by the bale escalator. Sorry I added a picture but it was to large of a file." />

He is very idiotic no matter what you tell him he'll think you're lying or he will do his own thing, my grandma is working at the kennels and Paul is still here because he wont get his horses off our land. So we're gonna go at him with a passive lawsuit, and sue him for all he has, and he will not get a cent, he has made our lives a living hell so now were gonna make his life hell.

I took him in Bethpage,TN it is in northern TN It gets Pretty cold like 5 Degrees But nothing usually dies. The deer eat alot becuase of healthy natural forage they grow big because of our like 600 20 year old oaks.

our property has great potential for big bucks we have mostly oak and black walnut trees. Two year round streams, one half acre spring, three bedding areas and tons of rubs, good natural forage like crab apple trees, and clover, black berries, wild strawberries. It is a horse farm and while we are tending to the horses we see tons of deer you can expect to 50+ deer a day. There is also one 16 pointer but he rarely shows himself, I hope he survived the season.

Nice buck. Sounds like there's a bit of background info that some of us may have missed regarding your grandfather. I can certainly understand your frustration, but, it's a really bad idea saying things like "I wanted to kill him" particularly when your sitting out there with a high powered rifle in your hands... You need to control those emotions and deal with the problem rationally.

If he's no longer the owner of the land, your grandmother can have him cited for trespassing. And, your state may have laws prohibiting interfering with hunters. You can check on that with your game warden. If you've got a cell phone, put the warden's number in your phonebook, and give him a ring next time grandpa is messing with your hunt...
