Years ago when doe days were only 4-5 days a season, clubs would get a biologist to come in and issue them special “doe tags”. On large heavily populated clubs, they might get an extra 50-75 tags to fill.
Wonder how many they would have issued for a 2 acre property?
If you think people shooting 3 bucks and 2-3 does on every house lot around is sustainable you’re mistaken. What kind of management is that?

Is 20 acres enough??.....How about 40?? I have a 40 acre piece I hunt a little. I put in a food plot and feeder that are 40-50 yards from the property line. Only opening on the property. where an old field, garden behind the old house was. This property is thick and the lady who owns it will not allow me to clear any. This property is narrow and long. Its only 200 yards wide. As I said its thick, you can't see anything but the patch and feeder. Can't even think of seeing the property line or the neighbors property. The neighbor still bitches that I put the patch to close to the line. What the hell you supposed to do?

Let me make this easier to understand for the folks that don’t own land.
Property line hunters are the equivalent of someone who lives in a subdivision that has a dog that barks constantly 24/7.
They have the right to have a dog, but it sure does impact all their neighbors.
The folks that try to hunt on a few acres are equivalent to the people who drive squatted trucks and can’t see what’s ahead of them. It’s obviously allowed by law, but when one of the idots runs over someone due to the poor visibility, the impacted party is gonna be pissed.

I’m not arguing over who “owns”’the deer.
What I’m against is some jackass putting a stand on the property line, even if it’s facing his side.
Or trying to hunt on a couple acres, because they are gonna be shooting towards the adjacent property 99%of the time. I agree and if the stand is on the line and facing your property then they ARE hunting your property If the stand is on the line and facing THEIR property then they ARE NOT hunting your property!

That sounds a lot like public land. It can’t be managed like a large tract of private owned or leased land can because everybody is allowed to take their legal allotment from it. But are we upset that there are public tracts? I’m not UNTIL the state buys land real close to me(which they did) and make it open to everyone. Then everyone comes and kills whatever they can. Having a few small parcel neighbors is a lot better than having a few hundred randoms who really won’t care about managing for a consistent herd.

The reality is 95% of people hunting lines are going to shoot a 140" buck walking on the neighbors side. You are hunting your own property, until suddenly you are not when that buck shows up across the line or you have to blood trail him on someone else's land because he ran left instead of right. I'd rather avoid having to deal with that kind of dilemma and hunt where anything I can see is fair game.
The general exception to this is a stand on the line that is obviously facing a clear cut or green field on their own property. Sometimes there is nowhere else to put the stand and I'd rather have the neighbor shooting away from me than at me. More often than not though, the line hunters are folks whose timber company lease is overgrown with thick pines and they want to see down into the private land neighbors hardwoods. This post sums it up very well, and your exception is something that bothers very few. That isn't the problem. And the thing is that 95% of those who put a stand on the line looking at someone else's property isn't just looking for a 140; they are gonna shoot anything they can. No legit hunter wants to hunt right on the line where there's a high probability of being messed up by a neighbor engaged in any sort of random activity. A legit hunter wants to get as far away from the chance of that happening as possible. You can go most anywhere in the state and find stands on the line facing the other property. They aren't just "hunting every inch of my property." The purpose of putting the stand on the line is to shoot deer on the other property. And there's little chance of them being caught because they don't actually get on the other property until they go retrieve the deer, and even then they will claim they shot it on their side and the deer just ran across the line. So it's a criminal act, but it's really hard to catch the offender, and be sure that they know it. Why deny it or defend it? You have chosen to be a criminal. Anyone who will poach a deer off a neighbor's property will commit any other crime. Just own it and be proud. Get a Boyd Crowder shirt, button it to the top, and tell them catch me if you can.  Boyd style shirt buttoning only applies to turkey season Maybe. But I think property line deer hunters could learn a lot from Boyd.
All the labor of man is for his mouth, and yet the appetite is not filled.

It’s obviously allowed by law, but when one of the idots runs over someone due to the poor visibility, the impacted party is gonna be pissed. I guess I need to get a squatted truck since I hunt on 3 acres at the back of my 11 acres. Agree someone hunting property line with stand facing your property is stupid and it would piss me off as well. Hunting property line with the stand facing their property is 100% legal and would not bother me at all, have at it and I hope you kill a big one. I am the small acre hunter that you would want for a neighbor. It's all about communication, when I moved in here I went and introduced myself to my neighbor behind me that hunted as well. He was shocked that I came and knocked on his door and told him I was planning on hunting my property and asked if it would be a problem, I know my property and I did not need to do that but I did. All he said was no shooting across his property line, I laughed and said DUH! He does not know that I let a big wide mature 6 point walk that I had in my sights at 50 yds because of the angle of the shot was getting too close to his house. If more hunters, neighbors would go knock on doors and introduce themselves their would not be allot these problems. ![[Linked Image]](https://i.postimg.cc/RFZDwCpJ/IMG-3269.jpg)

I have a hay field of @ 20 acres with another 10 being hardwood timber. All of the property lines are fenced as this area was once a cattle farm. I do not have a tree on my South boundary that I can put a stand on but my neighbor does. I can actually put my stand on a tree on the fence line that is behind the fence and once in the stand I am setting over my property. The land behind me is grown up cut over you couldn’t drive a skidder through so shooting or seeing a deer on that tract is out of the question. I told the landowner who is a friend of mine I wanted to put a stand on a tree of his. He told me no problem. He also told me I could hunt his if I wanted to. I told him I had all I needed and thanked him for letting me put a stand “over the line”.
On this same tract, a resident landowner has 2.5 acres and a trailer. He shares a North and South property line with me. He has a small opening next to my fence and a chair he sits in when he hunts. His chair was facing the green field we broke and planted this year last week when I went out to look at the field. Can’t seem to ever win them all. Win one and lose one. I don’t know if he would kill a deer on me or not, but I don’t want to have to find out.
I can't stand a thief.

It’s obviously allowed by law, but when one of the idots runs over someone due to the poor visibility, the impacted party is gonna be pissed. With all do respect, the problem you have has nothing to do with property line hunters or people that hunt small acreage. A person could hunt 100, 200, even 500 yards off your property line and still affect you the same way as hunting on the property line. Y’all are hunting the same deer. And someone hunting 300 acres next to you could affect you the same way as someone hunting 2 acres. It’s what size and age and how many deer they kill that affect you. Not where they hunt on their property or how many acres they hunt. In other words, you would rather have a guy that hunts the property lines of his 10 acres in the middle of your 1000 acres and only shoots one 4.5 year old buck a year, than a guy hunting the center of 100 acres in the middle of your 1000 acres and shooting every thing he sees. Owning land doesn’t make you any smarter or wiser or better than someone who doesn’t. People that lease land deal with the same issues as someone who owns land as far as neighbors are concerned.
