Give beloved grandma a pitchfork in the meanwhile, if the land is in the family I think you can keep other hunters off of it, depends and the land property rights also, some have contracts with local hunting associations to permit access to local properties but I would not let them on mine, does grandma have a shotgun? Anyway I got a lady that should finish by the end of October with first frost 6/7 Nov so I should be all right, getting impatient though, these are always later season problems...
