What are y’all’s feelings on hunting directly on the property lines?
My neighbors have 2 stands hung directly on my property line and another one hung on my property looking at a feeder on their property. How should I handle this?

Put there stands in the classifieds.

Are the stands facing your property? If they aren't and it bothers you then I would start hunting your property right at sunup and about an hour before dark. Stalk hunt. Hunt though, you wouldn't want to be guilty of hunter harassment. If they don't like you trouncing through the woods then they can move their stands and feeders elsewhere.

I wouldn’t like one hung on my property, but I don’t mind someone hunting the line. As long as they shoot it on their side of course. I’ve hunted the lines before. Especially if they have edges

If they are your neighbors, isn’t it their property line too?

Aw man, they’re just hunting where their grandaddy did. They didn’t know. They thought they had permission. Used to not have to ask. Used to not be such a thing as property lines. Those aren’t your deer.

They’ll say something to that effect.

I have that scenario as we speak, totally disregarding my camp. Now, In the big scheme of things its just stupidity on their part because my normal activities will screw up their hunting. Its a 35-45 min ride for them to get to this particular box blind.

I setup a Gong, and three steel hostage targets along the fence line and opening morning of bow season I cut loose with an AR.

So far my cams show they haven’t came back until today but not to hunt. And, they are looking hard at my stuff !

Its their property they can hunt every square inch of it, as long as they are not shooting over to your side I don't see a problem.

The “problem” can originate when both parties see it just like mc21 says.

I have found hunters to think in supremacist terms and truly expect everone else to respect their hunting hours or stupid philosophical ideology like compound bows vs crossbows vs bows vs muzzle loaders….

NOT JOHNNYLOCO JACK, BETTER BRING EAR PLUGS ! My recreational activities include chainsawing, listening to music, and shooting.

That “hunter harassment” is a funny thing too. You setup next to someone’s chit, it ain’t harassment to be working or enjoying your own property

Be a good neighbor and get along. Introduce yourself and be friendly. They haven’t done anything wrong until they shoot one on your property. You could need their help one day or their permission to trail one onto their land that you shot. I would bring up the stand that’s on your property though but be cordial about it.

If their stand is on your property, even if they are shooting the line, it’s a problem. If the stand is on the line shooting their property, no issue.

Yup

If they are overlooking your property, that’s one thing, but if not, it just is what it is I guess.. Will they shoot a big buck if they happen to turn around and see one 50 yards onto your property? Probably.

I would try to introduce and make friends with them and hopefully ya’ll both can respect each other to be able to hunt lines while also trusting each other to do the right things.

If they are a prick about it, Id give them 2 doses of their own medicine.

Put this in the turkey section and compare results 🤣

I got a ladder stand on the only suitable tree that happens to be on the property line. It is facing back over a narrow 20 acre field which is ours. My thinking was that my neighbors wouldn’t want me placing it on the other side of the field and shooting back into them. It’s thick behind me and not where I’m facing. Hasn’t been a problem but I always feel like it could be.

Don’t like it but don’t have a problem if it’s facing away. We had one on it and facing ours…I took the ladder stand down and put it at the base of the tree…they got the message.

The target shooting is pretty funny Johnny Loco 😀

The only thing that matters is IF their stand is on YOUR land, and do they shoot an animal on YOUR land. Anything else, just mind your own business.

It’s the same for turkeys. I don’t like folks pushing up against the lines deer or turkey hunting, but they get to hunt every inch of their land just like I get to hunt every inch of mine. Once he gets to the line, He is fair game.

My neighbors have at least 2 fields on my line. Several times they have had a picture of a shooter buck or longbeard on those fields. Most of the time they kill the deer and I kill the turkey. Fair trade off in my book. Hunting is hunting.
