Property left behind on leases.

So this is my 2nd year on a new deer lease. Last year I was the new guy and got a pretty crappy section. This year several fellas stepped off in Feb and we added 2 new guys. I moved sections. The guy who left my new section left behind a Dillon 4x6 fiberglass stand on a 5' platform. I was told it would be off the property by the guy who heads up the lease by 3/31.

It wasn't.

I bring my box blind out and want to put it up in same spot. I'm reassured he will move it by the end of May.

He doesn't

I ask for some guidance by head of lease and he tells me to personally contact the previous guy. I text call his cell, his office, and even contact through FB messenger. I repeat this several times even offering g to help him move the stand. 0 response.

Speak with lease head who assures me if the stand is not moved by 1st day of season (not ideal time to be setting up my area) that previous guy forfeits the property and would be trespassing. We add a new lock at gate and old lock is to be removed.

1st day of season comes and I decide I'll leave his (now the leases) stand where it is at and hunt from it and will put my other stand in another location. The erection of my other stand is delayed by recurrent heavy rains and soft ground preventing transportation to new location.

Friday at 1pm I get a text that " ___ got his stand!" He had actually taken it the Thursday evening. This morning is the opening of rifle season.

Head of lease never removed old locks and his attitude is basically "oh well its not my problem." He was surprised and offended by my frustration.





All of this to say that in general people will never fail to prove what selfish assholes they are.
