Has anyone gotten someone busted for this?

I am planning ahead for the fall and our friendly neighbor who will probably wait to fence his newly acquired 30 acres during deer season.

And the person who puts stuff out on my other plot.......

You'll have to find something better than building a fence during deer season to claim harrassment

Really ??
A guy building a fence on his own property at any given time of year is not harassment
As stated above “you’ll have to do better than that”

Just curious how many times you’ve claimed the animals as your deer or suggested the neighbors only harvest certain age class deer. You sound like a doozy of a neighbor, the kind that gives hunters a bad name and keep us from getting permission to hunt folks property. Who in their right mind would give out permission to hunt when you have people calling the law on you for building a fence when it’s not a thousand degrees outside.

100% guarantee that if I had to fence some new property, I'd do it during the winter due to bugs, snakes, and heat.

If it happened to be hunting season too, so be it. Best advice I could give would be don't hunt close to my line where/while I'm working.

Yeah, guess i wasn't supposed to walk those wheat fields or ride over fields pulling soil samples after 10/15?

Why dont you help him build it so it will take half as long

You’d make a fine neighbor 300gr!

That would certainly take less time and cost less than a court case. Might also build a lasting relationship with a neighbor which could be beneficial in the future. Or you could do the other thing where both neighbors end up wasting a bunch of time and money and ended up hating each other all because a man decided to do some work on his own property when he felt it best suited him. One question: Do you ever at any point see yourself consulting your neighbor as to when it would be most convenient to him for you to do a project on your property?

Think lockjaw has already had trouble with his neighbor before this potential fence build - he got partial pic of somebody putting something out in his plot and he stopped seeing deer last year

Not sure how a buddy - buddy fence build will go - but being nice like that is great and all - but he may hav a problem

Put up lot of cameras

I have been down this road many times when I had a couple of leases inside the city limits. My advise is stay on your side of the fence and walk the line with game laws. That being said… if the jackass next door wants to be a jackass then dont give him any rope. He has no business on your side of the fence EVER. Throw the book at him.

I had a lady caught harassing me dead to rights. The warden took me to her house and proceeded to tell her how she was in violation of a game law. I was asked if i wanted to prosecute and I declined looking her right in the eye. I told her if she ever did it again I would not be so kind.

As for what he put out on your plot it was probably moth balls. They melt when it rains and will run deer out of the country for a long time.

It would be nice if you asked some questions before just teeing off on me. Not that I am thin skinned but a few of the guys here have seen what I have posted and understand the neighbor in question is a D-bag. He is crossing property he doesn't yet own and running up and down our road too. All this activity has run two bucks off the field I have a camera on. I want to stress we have never done anything to this guy. He is just one of those people.

It looks like the Timber co was wise and gave us a buffer and didn't sell him property right up to the road, so that is a good thing, but unfortunately, he is very close to one of our fields. I am going to post the road coming out of the green field we are losing, and then if he goes past the posted sign, we can take appropriate steps.

I have been in 4 different deer clubs. 2 where people had access rights thru the club ( which sux ), one where we had a club that was next to us that road hunted our lease and we couldn't keep mud riders out of, and now this one. It seems like most all clubs struggle with keeping people off their lease, and we are no different. And it is made worse by people who tend to think they can do whatever they want, whenever they want.. Which is an accurate description of this guy.

I would not ever knowingly be over on somone elses property. That is just not my deal. I hate people being over on me, so I don't do that to others.

And no, I have no desire to help this guy. When you treat me right, I will. When you don't. I won't.

We had our neighbor arrested for poaching about 15 years ago. He no longer hunts but his two sons do. They are both kind and respectful. Honestly I have no idea what they do on their property, and I know they stay off ours.

“ It would be nice if you asked some questions before just teeing off on me.”

You might want to lower your expectations a little.

Probably should have gave a little more info in the first post. Everybody got their perception of the situation from that first post. I didnt read all the posts but i know a few felt you were being unreasonable. Might have explained the situation a little better to begin with. We made the best accessment we could with the information we had.

I'd sure hate to be on bad terms with any neighbor I had... A bad neighbor can sure make life hard on ya. Sometimes offering a lil help to a fella will go a long ways.. Hope it gets better for ya

Even if all this is true it doesnt negate the fact the guy can build a fence on his property any time he wants and theres nothing you can do about it other than piss and moan
You could as some have suggested Help him with the task to be neighborly

My Grandpaw told me the only way you can control what happens on another mans land is to buy it, and be bought every 40 that touched him when it came up for sale.

Do you lease the land you're on, or do you own it?
