It is his nature preserve, and he has hundreds of no trespassing, no hunting signs all along the fence at the property line. On a regular basis he catches people on his land, and he confiscates all their gear, everything, and escorts them to the fence line and tells them to call the police if they have any questions or complaints. When they return expecting to get their equipment the police are there to write them a trespassing ticket, and give the equipment to the Oklahoma wildlife department as punishment for illegal hunting on posted property. If they were poaching out of season they are often handcuffed and taken to jail.

He sets up in blinds, and takes pictures of the wildlife. His property, his rules. Their house is almost in the middle of the property, so he is surrounded by the trees and wildlife. He has entire families of deer named and can recognize them as individuals. He has a pair of bald eagles, and lots of wild birds, turkeys and every critter imaginable.

Sounds perfect!
