Hunting Season

November 12 marks the start of deer season. Be safe. Wear hunter orange vests and hats if you will be visiting RB.

Steve Lanning informed me today that Dave Watts' property has been leased to hunters again this year. The terms are different with a timber company holding the lease rights and leasing to hunters rather than Dave doing the leasing. These hunters have put up a locked gate on the main road to prevent others from entering the area. This gate is also ahead of the Settlage property. Mike Settlage was called by the hunters and he agreed to the gate and they have provided him with a key so that he can reach his property. He welcomes this because it may help protect him from the vandalism he has experienced.

The picture above shows my truck outside the locked gate. This seems to restrict other property owners from river access. This is very different from our understanding when we purchased our parcel in 2002.

Mike Settlage informed me that the RiverBend corporation has been dissolved. This creates confusion about authorities, covenants and restrictions. These need to be resolved to protect our property and property values.
