What’s your opinions on the subject? A piece I have the luxury to hunt had the perimeter fire lanes discoed a month ago. The bordering neighbor had his 209 acres clear cut last year and they just did a burn in preparation for planting trees. Our property has good tall pine stand but overgrown underbrush. The fire lanes now have a good straight 200 yard clear view of our side and this is where the deer cross from our pines into his clearcut. He also has a pond, where the deer drink from. Is it unethical for me to have my ground blind setup in the buffer area (still on our property), so I can watch the 200 yard for deer to get a good shot?

If you’re not shooting over his line you’re good. Probably would talk with him first because if you shoot one they’re going to run straight towards that water on his land and if you don’t get permission to recover it then you just killed one for your neighbor

If it is your property you can hunt it. I would have a talk with the neighbor 1st and tell him what your reasoning is.. If he is upset about you hunting there you may need to think about what that may mean down the road. He may have no issue with it.

I'd discuss it with him just to be on the same page. It is never good to be crossways with a neighbor even if you are in the right.

I know there is a house on the pond, but I think it’s a getaway and he doesn’t live on property. I’ve never seen him out there before.

Send it! They run back into your thicket when hit.

One thing I’ve learned on ALDEER.

It is absolutely 100% acceptable for you to hunt right up to the last centimeter of you’re property
It is absolutely worth starting WW3 and burning the neighbors house down with his family inside if he hunts the last 2 miles of his

Damn right I will hunt right up to the last centimeter of my property and my neighbors can do the same. Just keep your setups pointing back into your property and I'll do the same and we will be all good. We can sit back to back on the property line for all I care as long as you aren't just there to make a bunch of noise and trying to ruin my hunt.

😂

I have a green field in the corner of my property. stand sitting right at the corner. I can hear a corn feeder go off about 100 yards from me on other side of line. He hunts his side, I hunt mine. Great stand.

I have a new neighbor that moved in about a year ago. He bought house and 2 acres from my cousin. He has about a 1/2 acre in the woods. I own everything around him on 3 sides and My cousin owns the 4th side. I found a ladder stand on his property facing my property overlooking a heavily used trail. The tree the stand is mounted on actually still has the surveyors tape on it. It is literally on the line. I am headed over there this afternoon to discuss.

We had one like that that our neighbor had…we took their stand down and layed it by the tree…it was gone a week later lol

And what are you going to say? He can’t hunt on his own property?

It blows my mind.

It doesn't bother me...I know of 3 stands right on our line that isnt mine...if it makes sense do it

e829 video the conversation. Be sure to practice your speech. It may make the wwwyoutube world.

Most line hunters I have encountered ride the neighbors property lines because they either can't find a stand location on their own or they have ZERO trigger control. Doe blasters mostly. Trying to ruin your property along with theirs.

The ol' golden rule has been lost by many.
