Hunting rights came with the farming. Relative had tried leasing the land out for years to hunters with really bad results of a single hunter bringing friends, trash, gates left open and so on. I rarely hunted it, as we have bigger deer on our places. Took the occasional doe, sharing some of the meat with the Uncle and Aunt. As their grandkids grew up they wanted to start hunting it for gun season only, so I bow hunted and MZ hunted it again rarely as we had bigger deer. Pretty much don't hunt it at all now but put in food plots for the grand kids that are grown now, one of which used to be a pitcher for the OU baseball team and is now a professional scout for some team. I don't know which. Another place I got to hunt for free back in the 90's. Widow lady that owned it said she had never seen a deer on it. I took several does from it and one buck.  I shot a buck that was the first one on my wall and showed a pic to the landowner. Her kids took over the hunting the year after. Never show the landowner a trophy buck you shoot. Emphasize your taking does only to help with the overpopulation.</blockquote>
