I faced a situation this year that wasn't too far removed from this one. I posted a polite, but firm note on the stand and road into my property. The offender called me immediately and apologized profusely, offered any number of ways he could make it right and ended up inviting me to a killer dove shoot.

Now I know the guys who own and hunt the land behind me and we can help watch out for each other. I've also been told I'm welcome to hunt any stand I want on their property, any day I want to. They even invited me to join the dove club next year and the offender is going to pay my dues.

Maybe the guy is trying to take advantage, maybe not. All I know is that I chose the diplomatic route and it's already paid dividends with the possibility of many more to follow. If nothing else, I can say I'm keeping my friends close and my enemies closer.
