need sum advice.

I ran into a similar deal several years ago down in Pearsall, TX . I had a deer lease, and on the way to the lease I was always passing some center pivot fields of corn, peanuts, etc. One day I was at the feed store and asked who owned the place. They gave me his information, and I called him. Super nice guy, had me meet him at one of his fields so he could show me around the place. Turns out he had about 14k acres in Frio county. While he was showing me the place, he mentioned that one other man had permission to hunt the place. First thing I did was find out who the other man was. Turned out to be Mr Charles Gasch. As soon as I got to my truck, I located Mr Gasch's phone number and called him to let him know what had occurred, and that had I known someone was already hunting the place, I never would have pursued it. Mr Gasch was real nice, and said that he never hunted that side of the county, to go ahead and hunt it. He also warned me about one particular neighbor on another field that had shot some dogs in the past.

I decided to turn out on the pivot with good neighbors... First hunt out there, I ran into two trucks full of guys and dogs... I won't mention names, but they are members here, and claimed to be hunting that place 2-3 times a week for years. Nothing but a bunch of damn outlaws... First and last time I ever set foot on that property. However, due to the way I handled my end of the business, Mr Gasch and I have no problems.

My suggestion is that you figure out who is already hunting the place, and discuss it with them, prior to turning dogs out.
