What side of the city you live on Big Tuna?
 

North of Pittsburgh...Beaver

BTDT, basically what it boiled down to in a rich gready guy owns 300 acres but there was a little 11 acres chunk that was the frontage to part of his property and had 3 major runs....they'd run every deer off the property through that 11 acres...he got jealous and confronted me many time through the years and would question me on what I killed or did I I venture on his property......I was on his property one time in 43 years and that was to retrieve last year's first day gun buck. It crossed to line by 20 yards or so.....I asked him to let me hunt another year or two but he smiled.nicely and said f--k no. So there you have it....sad times for this old man.....lol

Moved a camera on Friday.  This was the only thing of interest on it.  This little guy stayed there for 3 or 4 mins rubbing the tree.  Had several vid clips of him.  Be a good one for my kids to take as a first deer.

Nice forkhorn eyes. Sure would be a nice trophy for a junior.

Went yesterday to pull my camera card which was a bummer cause there was a nice rub right in front of it, but I think the sd card I had in it finally crapped out. No pics for the past week, and the camera had malfunctioned.

Trimmed a few shooting lanes for another spot with the climber. Lots of scrapes popping up in historical spots, along with a few new spots. Planning on heading out tomorrow afternoon as long as work doesn't interfere.

Sucks you lost your hunting spot tuna. I fear I'm gonna lose one of mine soon as I think my mother is going to sell their 57 acres in the near future since my dad passed last year. Too much for her to keep up with so I don't blame her. When it happens, I'm hoping to convince the new owner to let me hunt there, but skeptical.

Afternoon sit not much action , sit from 2:30 to almost 6:30 . Saw blue jays , hawk and some squirrel’s then 4 does out in corner of field about 100 yds out ...no horns . One small buck on camera again really slow so far . My Cuz and her 2 dogs decided to take a walk down near my stand ... didn’t even see the deer in the field .... lol. They saw her though 😜👍. Sure was windy out there , oh well move on to next hunt ... good luck out there

Big Tuna I've heard many similar stories over the past ten years.  Land owners getting grumpy and disallowing hunters on their land but for this guy to pull the rug out from under really stinks.
 
Crappie_Slayer I don't recall (or my memory truly is failing me in my old age) hearing of your dad's passing last year.   Condolences to you and your family.
 
 
Mopars that's just too funny, keep them stories comin neighbor.  Oh yeah.... good luck.

Thanks BTDT. It was very unexpected. Sure do miss my hunting/fishing partner.

Actually a little 6, Crappie....he got some micro 1.5" brows it looks like.  Either way, my son or daughter would be proud to harvest that one, or any legal buck, for their first one....  
Big Tuna, sorry, can't help ya out, too far from me...I don't know much about that area.  I do know my in laws live across the valley from the Cranberry Highlands golf course and if you can knock on some doors and get access to some of the farms around there, you should be in for some good hunting...Every time we visit and leave there after dark, I am playing dodge a deer the entire drive until we get onto 79 south.....

I am losing 110 acres of great hunting. The owners moved and will be putting it up for sale. I will give someone a hot tip on it if they grant me hunting permission and have $650,000 to spare. :-))

Man, losing hunting ground is the worst.  I had about 800 acres that I was welcome to hunt on for about 10 years. 3 incredible little lakes/ponds for geese and mallards.  Lots of deer with little pressure.  Even could scratch out a few rabbits here and there when I felt like hunting 'em.  Big change in the way the owners used the land in the last 5 years, and it's all gone.  
 
Had my older son out last night.  Saw two decent 2.5 year old bucks but couldn't count points.  6 or 8 pointers probably, that did a little cruising and feeding through a fresh cut bean field away from us.  BIG 8 came out the same path  and crossed about 30 yards in front of us, but it was about 2 minutes too late for a shot.  
 
No time to hunt this evening, but hoping to get him out tomorrow evening.  Oct. 23-26 is always the time frame for good big buck movement on this property.
