I have some exciting news to tell you all. I was talking to a new friend that I met about 3 months ago. He went to school with my first cousin and this guy called me up to see if I could help him locate my cousin. Unfortunately my cousin had passed away about 10 years ago. So we kept talking and visiting each other and have become good friends. Tonight I was talking to him on the phone and we were talking about his gardening and the deer problems he is having. I asked him if anyone had asked for permission to hunt on his property with a compound bow or a crossbow and he said no one does. The houses are close together around him and nobody hunts in that area at all. He said you are more than welcome to hunt on my property if you want to. I said I would very much like to hunt his property. In his fields he has been seeing as high as 16 deer throughout the daytime. And he needs them thinned out some because they are becoming a major problem around and in his gardens. The woodland property is a nice area for the deer also he said. They stay around his property all year round. It is only a half hour away from here and a 15 minute drive from our camp. I have a friend that is like a brother to me that lives right across the road from my new friend and he has offered me to stay at his house instead of staying at my camp, that is even better. This coming week my friend and I are going to take a little hike and do some scouting and he is going to show me where the deer come and go from his pastures. I feel really lucky and excited to have this opportunity all to myself. With the clowns that have been messing around my hunting area on my own land the last couple of years this is a blessing for me to have a new area like that to hunt in. I am going to get my son to help me take my steps down from my home-made tower stand and bring them out to the house and make sure that that windows are covered over with plywood and that the door has a padlock that they cannot cut or yank the door latch off of the building or the door to gain entry. I will also post no trespassing signs and the cops have told me to tell him and his buddies to stay off my property. Once I do that and if by camera, or my son or myself sees him and his buddies on my property they will take care of the problem through lawful means. Because they are all on probation and have restrictions on them and rules that they are to follow. I am really pump about this new area. Any tips or opinions from you folks will be much appreciated. I haven't been well for a few years now and maybe this is a sign that everything is going to be okay. Thank you Lord. Man I cannot believe my good fortune,
.Raymond
