Good advice.
The key words here are "co-owner".
That means she (alone) can't legally lease the hunting rights or grant access to anyone.

I got a D-9, give me the coordinates and I'll be there to escort you in the morning of the hunt...

I kid, but that's about what you're going to need to be at ease...let that sink in.

You "dating" ole girl?

Way I read it, woman is sole owner of the leased property, the access is all that was in question. If she owns a true ROW with all rights allowing "guests and invites" that is not in question either.

Sounds like Booth got his problem solved .

Think keys words here are DEEDED ACCESS. If that is the case ex-husband can't stop access.

Not legally, but he could sure make it a pain in the butt. If there's another way in, I wouldn't even think about using the disputed access

Yeah I misread it at first. I thought she had leased the co-owned property.
I've hunted land locked properties with deeded access. There have been a few issues but I was always able to work them out and rarely got the landowner involved. Just a little negotiation and some time and diesel fuel invested to improve the roads was all that was required.
If it had gotten any worse, I might have just cut my losses. Deer hunting ain't hardly worth a blood feud.

ok, so you're proceeding forward - what was the ole boy like? did he harass you? if it were me & i was intent on hunting this place, i damn sure would a) avoid him and b) not parade anything i killed around ... but i would also anticipate more run-in's with "ole boy" since he's probably likely not to be happy with you b/c of his ex ... some folks love having an axe to grind

I say move on. But if you could get access to the deed that would be huge. I’m a surveyor and have done a little work in Jackson county. There’s a lot of weird easements and land locked places out there. If you could get a deed book and page or a parcel number of the property I could give you a much more accurate answer.

I'm going on the information provided to give my legal opinion, which is not all that I'd want to know if you were having a real legal consult with me. The legal answer is, if she has an easement by conveyance (the deed), then he can't legally prevent you from using the easement for ingress and egress to her land. You don't need his permission.

The real world answer is, if these are the kind of people that would do damage to you and/or yours out of spite, then you've leased a problem. I'd see if she'd let you out of the lease.

Then ignore the above, best of luck hunting.

Not trying to be a Debbie Downer, but I hope the other owner don't change their mind once the season starts! Cause I've seen that before, I'd try to get something written on paper if it all possible...

and remember this came from the son, who is probably the one who dont want folks back there hunting.

Just a quick update. The woman is sending the deed with the signed land lease agreement, so I will be able to see what it says about guests. I also called up the ex-husband and he was a little standoffish, which is understandable and pretty much told me that if he hears a 4 wheeler going up his access road that he will call Sheriff. But he went out of his way to say that him and his son will show me the other access point and how it connects to the land that I will lease. I told him that even if I was legally aloud to use his access point that I would not, just out of respect for him hunting that land. I tried to put myself in his shoes and realize that he has paid for this land and a stranger (me) to him wants to run a 4 wheeler thru it. I am thinking the best way to go about this is to be respectful and hope that we can at least be good neighbors. I just have read too many things about stuff like this that didn't end well and its really hard to tell if this situation is heading down that road. I have had some decent conversations with the father and son, but still have a weird feeling about all of it.

I’d find another place to hunt unless it is so fine you are willing to clear out someone’s road for them plus the issue of them being “co-owners”, which means he can cut your season short if he wants to be an ass. Remember that as a lessee, you have no standing in easement issues.

I have been reading this for years on Aldeer, but no one has ever cited anything from the Code of Alabama, or the Alabama Supreme Court to show this.

I hereby nominate Doekiller to get Aldeer officially advised on this.

Or we could have 49r comeback and tell us. :-D

If she has a deeded ROW , with all rights, including " agents, guests and invites" if she tells him he can use the ROW , he can LEGALLY use the ROW! I am not a lawyer , however , I spent a bunch of $ learning easement and ROW law .
