So heres the scenario:

My dad and I own a small plot of land (80 acres) in north/central la that we deer hunt on. It borders fields on two sides and in one of those fields approx 1000 yards away is an 11 acre brake that sits in the middle of it. The people who own the 11 acres never hunt it and havnt hunted it in close to 5 years now. They are from far off somewhere, where exactly I'm not sure. We've been in contact with the real estate agent over said land several times about buying it, but it hasn't yet come up for sale. 

Long story short I would like to go hunt it so bad, but in the 8 years we've had this place I've never once been on it. I keep telling myself that I'm just gonna go hunt it one morning late in the season if nobody ever comes and hunts it but I know that's not the honest thing to do. 

What would you do if you were in my situation?

I would be a little skeptical, since anything like that could turn into a bad situation. But if they live far away and nobody else tends to the land, I would just think of it as "test driving" the land since you are interested in buying it. Then again, it could turn into a "hind sight" situation. Good Luck and shoot straight

Go for it. Outlawing can be fun.

I wouldn't want to get on the owner's bad side if you are hoping to acquire it down the road

If you steal something and you don't get caught is it still stealing?

Send me the GPS coordinates and I will let you know if the land owner minds.

Sounds like trespassing and poaching to me. How is this even a question?

You need to go down to the tax assessor's office and then the clerk of court to determine where these people live. Contact them and get a lease on it. Who knows, you might make the inroads to actually purchase the tract since you indicated that is your ultimate goal.

How awesome would it be if the owner of the said hunting land was a poster, and went and waited while OP went and hunted? I think I would

Have you thought about just asking for permission to hunt the land?
