My brother quit hunting in Amasa, for much the same reason. and the poor guy ALWAYS got a trophy buck! (brother)
The bad part of this is we loggers always welcomed them to hunt while we worked. I have had several very nice bucks shot on the job while I and my crew were working. One guy got two nice trophy sized bucks one year and his son was struck by buck fever after a HUGE one came out of the slash right up to him. I saw that deer as it walked right up behind my forwarder while I was working.
We have been encouraged to NOT allow hunting on active logging jobs. I will adhere to that advice after this year. Jobs on private sales are another thing..we do not work on them because the land owners dont want us to do so. But corp and public lands are another matter. The state/fed tell us to keep them out as they do not want the liability as do the corporations.
Shame really, they ruin it all for themselves. One corporation is starting to require permits to deer hunt on their land because of ongoing fighting. This incident will no doubt scare them into rethinking letting anyone on their land without signing papers and getting permits. Then the deer blinds plastered up all over the place and abandoned.
