I noticed a new ladder stand 15’ across the property line facing our 20 acre pasture that we just sewed seed on. I have double checked with another guy that hunts on the property with me and it is not his. The owner of the land it’s on is known for poaching and trespassing. How would you go about the situation? This is a tricky situation because of who the owner of the stand is and we don’t want matters to become worse. What solution would you resort to?

If you really want to piss him off and for him to get the point, hang a tarp that blocks his view of your place

Do you have any trees on your property across from his stand?


God Bless,

Out a no trespassing sign right in front of it. Is there really anything you can do?

Id try this. Sounds like a tricky situation. He could prolly cause you some heartache.

Maybe the other landowners thinking, " how dare they" plant such a huge field near my property line

Put cameras out to see if he's crossing the fence.

Put a feeder up in front of it

Put a deer feeder out on your property [cheep one] in line of his shooting house and your field then call the game warden

PM BradB for input

To be honest I don't get to vent out of shape with people hunting property lines. They're gonna do it and I have done it. Now going out of your way and creating a new plot right on the line is some what chitty. If it was already there when you got the property then fine. If you think you need a plot close to the line at least move over a foot or two. Dam.

Haha u must of missed a good post on here....i was joking

Find an old shitty tripod and put it right in front of his treestand. As long as he isnt shooting on your land, he isnt doing anything wrong. You could put up a camera too. Or just whip his ass.

Hell I'd get to be huntin' buddies with him...Combine land, coordinated attack. Kill deer.

So the guy is ok to put a stand on the line looking on to the other property but the landowner is a dick for putting a plot on his land? Is this what I'm reading?

Would you put yours right on the line with no buffer? That tree was already there.

If that's where I wanted to put it, yes I would. But maybe you should read. It's a 20ac pasture that was top seeded and new stand on other property facing the pasture. No problem with the stand on the tree as long as he is watching his property. It would be a big waste of his time to watch my property because all he'd see is me sitting right in front of them. And I would do it the whole season.

That’s what I wonder every week when we see a new one of these

Nothing you can do unless he tresspassing. If possible next year just sew part of the field furtherest away or best hidden from the neighbors property. Found a climber on the property line today, so close I thought it was on my side at first but nothing I can do about it

whip his ass seabass

Troll

No troll here muffin.

Yes huh.

Put one of those pop up blinds right in front of his stand. He won’t know if anyone is inside or not.

I own 80 acres & I'll hunt every foot of it or hang a stand where ever I want to. That being said I won't poach the neighbor's property.

Wait is he 15ft “across” the line on your side? If so that’s a different story or is he 15ft from the line on his side? If that’s the case not much you can do.

Alright so let’s get things straight. The 20 acre pasture has always been there. It was thick due to no up keep (bushhogging) for I’d say 5 years. Our property is marked off with barbed fencing. If you cross the barb wire fence and take 5 steps his ladder stand is right there. Our side of the barbed wire fence is clear of any trees on that side of the pasture. His stand is facing dead on to our pasture. Why would you hang a ladder stand facing the opposite way of your property and only 5 steps from the adjoining property without intentions of shooting something on someone else’s property. For you dumbasses that says I’ve hunted on property lines and intentionally hunting and facing someone else’s property that’s not yours then f*ck you. People like you makes me cringe and never ends well. Back to the situation, I can screen shot property lines and mark exactly where his stand is, maybe somebody will post for me. I don’t want to piss the guy off because it could make things worse than they have already been in the past. If you’re on here cahela, go ahead and move it or you know what will happen.

His stand is intentionally facing our property. He may can get a shot directly behind is ladder stand but why face it the opposite direction? I know the answer. I think we all do.

No.

That’s why I’m asking. Surely someone has had this issue and have it resolved without involving the green jeans

Lol, too bad it’s only fescue and nothing special

I'm praying cahela is on here so we can get a peacfull resolution...

I find toilet paper is a discouragement to turkey hunters during season.If the guy isn’t breaking the law there’s not much you can do legally.

After finding two of his climbers the first two years after he was warned to not come on the property, 5 years ago, there isn’t any good vibes between us and him. He’s been arrested on counts of spotlighting, baiting, trespassing/poaching. He’s a dumbass who thinks he’s above the law and can do whatever he wants.

In all seriousness, we try to be the better man and resolve it without any confrontation but it just never ends well. He hasn’t done anything in the last 2/3 years but I guess it’s time again

I don't know, just a thought though. I hardly ever set my stands facing the direction that I plan to shoot from. I shoot left handed so I will place my stand facing 90* counterclockwise from the direction that I expect the deer to be coming from. Of course it would be opposite if you shoot right handed. Something to consider maybe. Otherwise every hunter knows that edges are where deer are likely to be found.

That's a problem. Set a tent or something in front of it. Put a camera up. Although it's a douche bag move, unless you catch him in the wrong, I don't know if it's worth stirring the pot with gw.

I suppose that’s the best solution without confrontation

If I had land, you can face it all you want to. But you better not shoot a deer standing on my side of the fence. If it comes from my land, jumps the fence, and is on your land.........bust it. It's pretty simple.

Stoneman, this is what I would do after I settled down from being upset (which I would be mightily). I would advise you to go directly to the landowner and say that you had found the ladder and wanted to talk to him about it. You have to acknowledge that the landowner can do anything he wants on his own land, but it “appears” that the ladder is set with the intention of hunting your property. Before I made any demands, I would give him the opportunity to respond and see how it goes. Could be that someone is planning to poach both of your properties. Could be that he respects you coming to him face to face and you resolve it. Could be that he is an ass. In that case, refer to the suggestions listed above, but, at least you tried to do the right thing. If that doesn’t resolve it, I would call a GW.

Twice in 24hrs! The Aldeer gods are a shining today.

I deal with this continuously. I have land that joins WMA. I dont know why but they seem to just love putting stands 5-=75 yds of my permanet stands. i just keep on hunting.They usually just tire of looking at my old ugly self. Seriously I just prtetend they are not there climb on up. Eventually they will move elsewhere.

Tell your local GW.. If he has had all those problems they wont mind giving him a look.

Tell GW to bring his remote controlled deer and set it up on your property. Tell GW if he catches him you will cook him a ribeye the size of his head.

most of the time since im right handed ill hang a stand 90° to the right of where i intend to shoot so is it possible its directly facing your property so he can soot down the line? deer love edges and transitions. but it would make more sense to put it directly on the line facing his property

pile up the corn right on the line with a big no trespassing or hunting sign on top of it hell figure it out

That'll make James wanna get caught

If he’s 15’ on his side of the line and shoots a deer 2’ from the line on his side he has done nothing wrong, it is his land. As long as he’s not shooting across the line he is perfectly legal.

Just whip his ass

this is correct from my understanding. Our property line on our land here around the house is the Mississippi/Alabama state line. Our line is a 1.5 mile straight away down the line and we keep it disked to make sure nobody is crossing. Well our neighbor that owns 1/4 acre butts up to our 400 and something acres and he hangs a ladder right on the line facing our property. We call the gw and he said there’s really nothing he can do because he is just barely on his land. So now dude sits there and watches deer cross our line all day long and we can’t do nothing about it. So being there’s nothing we can do I’ll just drive my Jeep back there and park at the foot of his ladder and watch our line. Every time I do that when I catch him sitting there I’ll just pull up and wave and he gets down and goes back inside

Thanks for pointing out the obvious...

I could see that but when everything behind and to your left and right is thicker than owl shucks I highly doubt that’s the reason he has his stand hung there.

That’s just the truth, no matter how you twist it or look at, that’s why they are called property lines. I have dealt with this situation several times, we have someone who purchased a 20 acre piece right in the middle of our leased 1000 acres, he plants a big nice 2 acre field right in the corner of his place and kills some nice deer, the deer which come from our place I’m sure. But I don’t let that chitt bother me it’s his land , he bought it and can do as he pleases on it and nothing anyone can do about it.

Irish spring deodorant soap hung on the fence and no deer will be seen
