Just bought land from a neighbor, great for deer. His son blocked me from hunting there for many years and had built his own cabin. When he showed up this year I had him removed for tresspassing. Told him he can have the contents of the cabin, but it is on my land and now my property.

Roncho, what a great idea.

No, actually you were a lot nicer than most people would have been. You at least let him have the contents of the cabin, which by right could have been yours as it was now on your property. Perhaps if he had been kinder to you in previous years this would not even be an issue.

I suppose his complaint should be to his father who sold you the land. You should indeed let him have the contents of the cabin but if you bought the property the cabin and anything in it that is attached or built in, is yours also. Whether you let him hunt the land is up to you but if there a large population of deer, it would be nice if you could make an arrangement for him to hunt there.

It is your property and you have the rights. Unless there re specific agreements anything left on the property after the sale would be considered the new owners. If you had to have him removed then he must have been being a jerk and really he was lucky you gave him the contents of the cabin back.

Was the cabin considered in the land deal? If it is on your property and you paid for it, I'd say it's yours. However, if you paid for the land and the cabin wasn't part of the consideration price, I think it'd be neighborly to offer to let him move it elsewhere. (If you think he'd do so nicely and not vandalize your place in the process.) He may have sentimental ties to the land, but then why didn't daddy sell it to him instead of you? Either way, I think I would advise at least a gesture to mend fences so to speak and let him be the one to meet you half way and settle things or make an @ss of himself by refusing. That way it's a win-win for you... you win if you two settle your differences and/or you win if he refuses and just goes away. Either way your conscience is clear.
Good luck!

Ummmm.... no..... not mean... you have property rights, and he no longer does. He had a hell of a nerve to show up there after being unwilling to share his father's land land with you. If he wanted the land, he should have bought it, but he probably spent his money and couldn't. How dare he expect you to buy the land and then share it with him after he put you out of it before? It was very rude of him to put you in that kind of position. You shouldn't have had to deal with him at all, in any way.
We live in a very rural area and have been told that the farmers around here do not allow hunters because of the liability. If they know somebody is hunting on their property, and that person gets hurt, their insurance is liable. And if they are underinsured thay can get sued.
So... this son of the previous owner who wouldn't let you on the property... would probably be the first to sue you, if he got hurt!!

LOL, i think it is funny. However, you should talk to him and tell him that you are not a "insert profane language here" and say you were a dick but if you wish to hunt on my land you may but first you must clarify with me that you will be present. It just stings so much more that everytime he wants to go hunt he has to get your ok.
In addition to tthe former you could go with him a few times and learn all the good spots and forbid him from ever stepping on your land again. Now that would be harsh.

No, you were too kind. If I was in your position, I'd certainly have the $@& removed from my land when he kept me off it for years. I'd keep whatever is in the cabin or burn it if I don't want it. He wouldn't be allowed to be on my property at all, since he kept me off his so long. I can imagine how some bleeding hearts and PeTA nuts will answer this question. My sympathy to you for having to read such &()!!$#!+, my good man.

I don't think you are being too mean - though I guess you could also be nicer.
If you are asking the question then I guess you are doubting yourself a little.
I would do whatever you think is best - do not be too proud to let him use the cabin if this will ease your conscience - in the long run you will be happier for it.

I think it was a bit drastic to have him removed. Was that REALLY necessary? Did he did not know it was now your land? Did you ask him politely to leave, before having him re,oved? It is always wise to "take the high road." Be as kind as possible,whenever possible. It can be an "eye for an eye " kind of world...that is such a sad way to live. Be your best self whenever possible,sir.

you are not required to let anyone hunt there and no one
is legally allowed to go on the property without your
permission.
if you were mean, you could probably keep the contents
of the cabin, but i feel you were probably right to tell
him he could clean it out.
that only leaves your heart. you probably shouldn't get
satisfaction from stopping him though it is human
nature to do so.
