Camped over the 4th of July weekend on rented ground ... the ones whom rent it for hunting rights thru a fit. It's summer? That got hashed out. 40k a year to the hunting folks, 2k. So, let's talk dollars.
Yesterday, when checking on another pasture, saw a vehicle out there and it was a gentleman who was shooting prairie dogs. Good dog town. Well, he says he got permission from the landlord and our "gate was down"... we'll address that with landlord. Our pairs are out there! I got the mans name and plate # on his vehicle. My husband told him we have cows grazing and he'd appreciate that he be courteous enough not to shoot there, that if he did have permission to be there, he kindly wait till we rotate them out of there in the next two weeks.
My husband doesn't want to make a stink (1st year renting this) but I think it's a bunch of BS! We already found a dead cow at another pasture yesterday (lightning)... we don't need another!
We have other ground that has hunting rights by another group that now has 6 stands (trailers) out there for blinds that aren't the best tenants (garbage, beer cans, etc...) and not to mention several that are situated among our own rented ground that appears the only good shots they'd have is across our fence.
Why do landlords need to squeeze that extra $2-3k off the ground? Nothing but problems but pasture around here is scarce.
Any of you deal with these situations? Am I just being grumpy?
