So if previous owner of my land sold off 2 acres and the new owner put a box blind six inches from the property with only one window facing your property and put a feeder 25 yards on your property? Not dealing with nice people. Not a good situation!

Gotta love neighbor feuds

Many Ike’s that is the only safe way to hang a stand. Then hunter is shooting into their own property, not towards line.

Now that’s funny brother marshmud 😁

hell id have no problem dealing with it ...

Just saying 2 acres would be fairly easy to high fence, problem solved. I have a similar 5 ac problem but my neighbor seems to be a good guy and is not blasting them off his porch. If I had even a hint he was I would do it in a heartbeat. And if I had to spend the money and time I would make sure the part next to his house, which is about 5-10 feet off the line, was about 10 feet of the ugliest chicken house tin I could find topped by concertina wire and maybe a few spotlights. Just so he would get the message that 5 acres ain’t a hunting property.

Why does this neighbor not have the right to kill a deer on his property? This is what's wrong with hunting now. Everyone thinks all the deer and turkey belong to them. Unless you have thousands of acres those deer cross property lines all day.

There's a minimum acreage to be able to hunt deer? Where can I find this in the Alabama code?

Some of you deserve the absolute worst hunting neighbors imaginable...because the stuff you post makes you look like you're exactly what you complain about.

Yep

You can love em but your don't have to like em!

Come on guys you can’t have it both ways. If he has the right to do anything he wants with every dam square inch of his property then the same thing applies to me. It is absolutely his legal right to pour out a big pile of corn in his yard and shoot them off his porch, just as it’s my legal right to put up a fence on my property.Luckily for me when the property in mine sold a year ago it was to a good guy. He has a blind and feeder out he sits some with his girls and has an invite to come over with the girls come season so they can actually see some deer. Now if he had turned out to be an arse things would be different. I may be a selfish bastage but as long as I had legal options I would not let anyone damage what I have spent 15 years and a stoopid amount of time, sweat and money building because of a mistake my Mom made 40 years ago. As my south neighbor would say, and he is even more of a selfish sob than me, “ If ya ain’t got skin in the game you shouldn’t be playing”

I think its funny that guys go out and get in heated shooting houses with windows, recliners, and coffee makers and then bash a guy that sits on his back porch

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.

My issue with small house lots is the harvest Limits.
You think 3 bucks live on 2 acres? It’s not sustainable and it’s happening all across Alabama. People should be able to hunt their property absolutely, but with the same limits? Not in my opinion.

We have a neighbor who thinks he owns the whole community. When my parents bought a new piece of property that joins the farm here, I nailed a no trespassing sign to the tree on the line, that one of his ladder stands was attached to. The stand was set up facing the property that he had permission to hunt, but the stand was set up in a location to hunt a transition area on our place. Next time I went over there, the stand was gone.

I thought you weren't going to comment.

Why would property size matter? If a licensed hunter is allowed 3 bucks, and takes them legally, I can’t see how it matters if they come off 2 acres or 2,000.

That’s because you’re not the one that owns the 2,000 acres and have a neighbor with 2 acres and a booger light/corn pile.
I guarantee if any of you had invested hundreds of thousands of dollars in your property, you would feel the same way.
That goes for property line hunters, too.

How many acres does someone need for it to be ok to hunt??
