If there happens to be a house anywhere with in 1000 yards of where you are hunting... Then always keep your back to it! Have you never taken a hunters safety couarse? WTF Mate?

Seriously though I know what your saying, people dont pay attention.
I hunt 1 of 3 places. Either my own property, my dads property or my brothers property. between us we have 2050 acres. "My little brother owning 2000 of that" Dang him! LOL I as well as my dad and brother are very careful who we allow in our woods. You have to hunt with us before you have permission to hunt with out us. If you dont use common sense then you dont get to hunt on our places. IE I have rejected guys that while bird hunting with them they were walking with thier safety off, or crossing fences with a loaded gun + leaning the loaded gun on a fence post while crossing it. I have seen some do all of that. The list goes on and on. Peoples stupidity never ceases to amaze me. I even had one guy pull in ready to go coon hunting got out of his truck sat his beer on his hood then procedded to get his .22 pistol out. I put my dog back up and told him to put his gun up and to never bring a gun on my place again. Also If your caught with out the owners knowledge then you dont get to come back anymore. I’ve got two kids I;m not about to let some moron with a hunting permit kill them from ignorance!

the reason i have shot so many running deer is because here there is only a 2 day season and u have to shoot whatever u can find if u want meat. half of our venison is shot on drives. If u are carefull and know your territory its no problem. and yes- u still need to shoot straight 
The last couple of years i have bought the big license and hunted both weekends so now i get 6 days to hunt in our zone- but still after the first mourning they are usually running if u see them at all.
