West neighbors clear cut their entire 220 acres bordering me to the west. Have not sprayed, burned or re-planted and probably will not,its a nasty mess.They don't plant squat for plots winter or summer.Buddy was checking cameras today and lo and behold what has appeared on the line, right next to my 8 acres of corn and beans.Of course I support their right to hunt every inch of their property as they wish. Glad I have the same rights.Since we do not hunt lines or this field I figured it was a great place to set up a supplemental feeding station.

That certainly appears to be in view and within a 100 yards. Legally they cant hunt that stand with that feeder located there. Doesn't matter if the feeder is on their property or not.

Hilarious

^^^^ all you now need to do is to contact your local warden and invite him out to review the situation and let him know that you'll be keeping that feeder full all season. Tell him you would appreciate him keeping an eye out on the people hunting that stand, as you highly suspect that it was recently put there to harvest deer, illegally off of your established game feeding station. Problem solved.

Oh yeah, make sure there is corn visible on the ground around the feeder when he comes to meet with you.

If his stand was in place before you put the feeder out there, wouldn't/couldn't it be considered harassment of a hunter that was legally hunting on his land?

^^^Negative, he's already established precedence that it is a known feeding location on his property given that he has 8 acres of beans and corn planted there currently.

I'll raise you 2 pages.

I can understand why they did it. They cleared the whole line so they have about a 300 yard shooting lane between their clear cut and my bean/corn field, with a sparse tree row between them.It is actually a killer set up except for the mooching off me thing.Don't know how I am harrassing them, they have the right to do what they want on their land I have the same right on mine.The only saving grace is that line is my main north/south route from the house to pretty much anywhere so it is heavily trafficked and they are not out there much during the day.

This won't end well.

I would just hunt it and kill the deer on their way to your feeder.

On a happier note I have been seeing little deer activity in the north end of my place for a couple of years, I think mainly due to a lack of bedding cover. Before the last rain my timber guy was able to get on my very wet place and finish up about a 10 acre clear cut that should solve that problem in a few years and make a great spot to hunt on northerly winds.

Just a taddddddd bit illegal if you know the feeder is there.

Which would constitute "hunting with the aid of bait," if the deer were going to that spot only because the feeder is there.

AAAnnnddd that would be ILLEGAL.

I'll work all those specifics out later.

I find it hard to believe you can't hunt an area because of something your neighbor does.

If it's across the line and you can't see it, you can't be expected to know it's there. If it's in plain sight, that's another story.

I see where you're going, but can't the other property owner call Green Jeans and let them know about the feeder showing up behind his new stand?

What would be illegal about that? I mean it COULD be seen as hunter harassment, but that's quite a stretch. I would love Mbrock or Nighthunter to weigh in.
