Losing access: Dealing with a shrinking hunting playing field

Paula and I lost a hunting spot this year, which isn’t unusual these days. Typically it’s a lose one-gain another proposition, and hunting access is a challenge we’ve become accustomed to over the years.
It is an oft-repeated scenario these days: the landowner dies, the family sells the property and we’re no longer allowed to hunt it. In this case it was about 60 acres in New York's Chemung County – not a big chunk of land but a good one, with plenty of oak and, in the right years, good numbers of deer and turkey, and an occasional bear.
