So, got a new lease this year. We share a few roads with a hunting club. I researched and found his number, reached out to him, and tried to be nice to see about getting access to one of the gates. He seemed nice then, but was able to get my own lock on through Rayioner.

One road, they have to drive theough just about our whole road to get to a shooting house and field in the back. Other road we have to drive theough a little bit to get to about 60-80 acres of our land. On that side, there is a powerline and they have a shooting house at end, that looks down toward us. Obviously they could shoot onto our property. That made me a little nervous, but have not talked tp them about that. Well today, my FIL went to freshen up some camera spots. Here is the scenario that unfolded. Granted, FIL was on their property and drove around gate, which I wouldn't have done.



Well, had our first run in with ole Gary today. Father in law and mother in law we t over to freshen up the camera spots. Pull in the first gate, and there is a truck down the other way. FIL decides he will just unload atv at old gas well(on their property) so as to not block the road with his truck. Gary pulled up and said they don't allow atvs on their property. FIL says he will load it back up, pull down the road, and unload it there. He was just trying to not block road. Gary says, no, go ahead, you already unloaded it. FIL drives off, does what he has to do, comes back, loads atv and gate is now locked. No, biggie, we have combo. But FIL forgot it and could not get me on phone. So he unloads atv, drives around gate and goes and feeds at other spots(one which he couldn't find camera, hoping he just missed it), comes back and there is a note on his windshield saying he doesn't appreciate him riding an atv on the property or us parking on his property. Guess next time, I will pull truck up on power line(that looks onto us with shooting house), unload there and leave it parked in the middle of powerline.

I would much rather be cordial with him but may not work out that way

Ole Gary's everywhere ain't he?

Screwem.

Nice!! Lol

Be a azzhole back. That's all some people understand

Sad, but very true.

If you act like an a*% in return, there is zero chance of things getting better. If you want to have good neighbors, then be a good neighbor.

Definitely try to meet and discuss to hammer out things. Otherwise it's going to be a long, tense season.

It stinks..but try to be nice to them at first.

Driving around a gate was the first problem. I'm with WB on this one. Give them the benefit of the doubt, be nice for a while and see if it gets better. If not you will have plenty of time to not get along.

I plan to meet him and try to be a good neighbor. just hope it works out

I agree, he should not have done that but I was in church, and he could not get up with me. So in essence, he was locked in. He just figured he would go around and go off the property to hit other spots waiting for me. He did not go around the gate to get in, but went around the gate to get out. Nonetheless, I wish he would not have

Weird, I just typed a response and it disappeared...

If it is a new lease to you, I'm guessing someone has leased it before you? If he is being defensive, maybe he has just had to deal with rude neighbors on what is now your lease. A conversation could go a long way.

I always try to put myself in the other persons shoes. I wouldn't want someone parking on my property either. But from your description of the land. I don't see how this would work without someone getting upset. Folks can't hardly get along in the same club much less 2 different clubs operating so close.

I bet to them, y'all are the rude neighbors. They told your fil that they didn't ride atvs on their property, but let him anyway. Then see where he rode around the gate and onto other places. If your fil is gonna be down there, he needs to know how to get around the property(ie. how to get through the gates). I would talk to the neighbors and explain the misunderstanding and tell them it won't happen again.

Our club is in the midst of a fairly large community with a lot of neighbors and there is one thing I was taught 23 years ago when I first joined.They are there when you ain't.That's all I'm gonna say because that's all that was said to me and I figured out the endless possibilities.

It's much easier to catch flies with honey than vinegar. Talk it out now before anything else happens.

I have heard through the grapevine that this guy can be hard to deal with. However, I am going in with an open mind and friendly.

I agree...Maybe I misunderstood the context but it sounds like a simple misunderstanding easily worked out as long as you show a bunch of genuine humility. Just my .02 Cents.

But you can catch more honeys being fly....
