The land that I hunt is about 200 acres (family land) with a lake on the north end and smaller land owners on all sides (no hunting clubs in area). We don’t shoot does unless it’s archery and we seen more deer in the past 5 years than we have seen in the previous 20 years. Quality of bucks keeps going up also and we use corn & also planted different fruit trees in key areas (apples, persimmons, etc)
Most of my neighbors don’t hunt and I really don’t care what they do as long as they don’t put a stand or a feeder next to our property line (they are all pretty cool and we don’t tell them what to do, but they all know that we hunt & they don’t tell us what to do either).
Letting the does walk and keeping the predators in check (yotes & bobcats) seems to be the secret sauce to improving the quality of bucks.
What if they did put up a stand or feeder next to the property line? It's their property to do as they like. Not to mention at 200 acres you aren’t exactly some giant landowner that keeps far, far away from property lines. I am in a similar situation I’ve got 123 acres that is a long rectangle shape. It would be near impossible to stay away from property lines but all my stands are facing into my property and I keep this in mind every time I shoot. I’m not just giving up use of a large chunk of my property because it’s near the line!!

I leasing from a timber company and one of my best fields is 5 yards from the line - it was there when i got there - shoots parallel to the property line. I aint not planting it for my neighbor and i been in a ton of clubs with this type field. As long as they dont face the line - i dont see issue and most property i hav joined hav this type field over the years. Never pissed me off - its legal hunting
Hunt the wind - leave it better than you found it - love your neighbor as you love your self
We need prayer for our country now more than ever

The take home message here that was the original point…..is that we are all part of neighborhood of properties that matters more than any of the individual squares……Just like shown in the picture above, in most situations there’s likely folks around you that are already blasting does. Its ok to keep your square quiet and your resident does unpressured.  ![[Linked Image]](https://i.imgur.com/BA9j3OZ.jpeg) Atta boy. I think I hear an echo.

I’ve never had any issues with neighbors, but if I saw a stand facing back into their property and I’d have no issues with it.
