Who knows maybe the guy found out the place sold and decided to forget it, and his stuff, and abandon the operation?

Last year, I was looking for some land to hunt with my 12 year old son. I haven't hunted in many years and he wanted to try it. I didn't want to take him out on state land to find out on opening day that 3 other hunters have set up within 100' of our location.

I put an ad in the local paper looking for 20+ acres to lease for the year. I got a couple of calls and ended up leasing a piece of property from a woman named Colleen who lives about 15 miles from here. We were walking the property and we found a deer stand on that property. I called the woman I had leased it from. She didn't know who's stand it was and told me to get rid of it if I wanted too. I hung a note on the stand that I had leased the property and the stand had to go. I included my phone number on the note.

4 or 5 months later, it was deer season. No one had ever come out to get the stand ready, I had 6 trail cameras in the woods and never caught another person on the property. We hunted during what, in NJ, is called "deer week", the 6 day shotgun season. No one in the woods but us.

About 2 weeks later, during bow season, I get a phone call from a guy named Chris. He tells me he owns the stand and has permission to hunt from the owner. We talk a little. He thinks a guy named Mike owns the property. I leased it from Colleen. He doesn't know her and I don't know him. The next day I go to the township clerks office and ask them to pull the tax map. I find the property and they get the tax records for it. Colleen is Mike's ex wife. She no longer owns the property, Mike got it in the divorce 15 years ago. She leased his property to me.

I called Chris and apologized. I pulled our deer blind, cameras, and whatever else I had in the woods. With colleen's permission, and a signed lease, I had cut some trees back, posted the property, set up a couple of bait piles, and had my cameras all over the woods. I was on the property illegally but didn't know it.

Oh, I paid cash in full the day I signed the lease and never got a penny back.

It would be really easy for someone with low scruples to lease non resident property owners property to hunters, without permission. There are many thousands of properties owned by people who never go there.

I’m used to pulling out the plat book but if you don’t think about it and don’t get one it could be a really big mistake especially if someone lied to him it can happen.

Some good advice in many of these posts. If you leave a note, I'd certainly tell the guy you'd like to talk with him over the phone at least.

Sorry for the late reply but I just now picked up my laptop from a recall repair and don't like to type on may phone that much. Yep the guy called and then showed up to pick up his SD card. I explained the situation to him and he was fine with it. He lives in the house at the other end of my property. They cut down all the trees on their patch for some reason. So everything sorted out now and he has another place he can hunt a few miles down the road so was ok with my decision.

Glad it turned out for the best.
