Can’t have nothing nowadays.

Until you have proof the neighbor is hunting your property, you have no case! It's his property and he can do as he pleases. You are wrong to put up a feeder where you did!

They already have a trailer park to some extent but at least they are up on the road. If that bean field could be anywhere else on the property it would be but there are only about 30 acres of good row crop land on the place and unfortunately thats where its at. The main n/s road I have to travel to get pretty much anywhere and the road my wife and I take walks on run parallel and along the line which is what he is hunting. Thats a little concerning to me, also. Anyway the feeder actually did not have any corn in it so he is in no immediate peril. The thread has been eye opening. Its amazing there are so many line sitting losers in a place where everyone is always crowing about their high character and moral integrity.Good neighbors are invaluable. My south neighbor and I co-operate in every way to the benefit both us.But that is because we both follow the golden rule. Good neighbors don't hunt the line.

Just because you put a feeder on your side, does not restrict the use of the land on the other side of the line. Unless the neighbor shoots across the line there is no violation of law or regulation. Setting someone up and calling the GW is not neighborly either. GWs see this all of the time and most do not fall into the trap you are setting. Be a guy and go talk to your neighbor, if they do not move the stand you did what you could do. It's just a deer, relax and enjoy life. It even happens to GWs, you're not the Lone Ranger. Oh yeah if you ever plan on setting someone up, do not post your intent on social media. Not a wise thing to do.

I'm betting that 75% of the posters on this thread that are bashing Brad are not landowners and probably never will be. They do not understand the cost associated with owning and maintaining a decent sized tract of land especially if you are taking the time and effort to intensively manage it for wildlife and grow good deer.

The bashers are the types that would love to have someone like Brad next to them so that they could take advantage of his hard work and 'free load" off of his intensive management efforts while they do nothing but show up and hunt the property lines without doing anything at all $$$ wise to improve their own land and hunting opportunities. I understand exactly where Brad is coming from.

because you can't lead a horse to water and make him drink.

I dont disagree that the other guy can do whatever he wants with his property. That is certainly within his rights. At the same time, if he's a brown it's down hunter and Brad is trying to grow big deer on his property, then Brad can't be faulted for doing what he wants to do to protect those deer he's growing.

Sounds like he has good neighbors on the other sides of his property with common management goals and this guy is the outlier. This guy can hunt like he wants but Brad can also run a 7' high game fence right down that line and a couple hundred yards past where the other guy's property line stops on either end and effectively move those deer off of him. If I remember correctly, the other guy has 200 acres. He could just as easily take a dozier and push him some shooting lanes a couple hundred yards out in his property and Brad probably wouldnt have an issue with it. He doesnt like the guy setting up his shooting house where he can shoot across the line (back of that house has an open shooting window facing Brad's property) when Brad is not there and I dont blame him for not liking it.
