For lack of a better term, I’m going to call this deer lease etiquette. My family has hunted a 400 acre tract beside my parent’s place here in east TX for about 30 years, and when I only lived a mile away, I was on the property every day. Now that I live 20 miles away, I pretty much only go over there just before and during deer season, BUT my brother and his family live on my Mother’s property that adjoins it. When I lived there, I kept the roads cleared and mowed year around, but over the last several years, my brother has done the mowing (since he lives there) but only just before deer season and only on the side of the place where he hunts. My brother was whining a couple weeks ago about not having time to mow, but he didn’t tell me he was taking his THIRD vacation this year to Mexico last week. I haven’t hunted this place much since I became the sole caretaker of the OK place and also moved 20 miles away, but I planned to give it a shot this year and at least try to kill a few pigs.
I took the skid steer over there yesterday afternoon and got started on the roads, but I only got part of it done and am going back this evening to do more.
My question for the group is how big of an @sshole would I be if I only mowed the roads on the side of the property I hunt and made my brother mow his side?
I also want to clarify that he has three tractors and mowers, so equipment isn’t an issue. But being a lazy @ss is.
