I'd prefer his blind against my fence and his feeder 100 yards into his place than his feeder on the fence and his blind 100 yards into his place.

X3.... All this talk of putting items up to harass the hunter and trespass to damage his property is just crazy and illegal. Game warden should probably come after y'all.

or take a mp3 player with a Bluetooth speaker and have it set to start playing opening morning around 6:30am . not sure what song at this time to just have it repeat over and over.

If I were dealing with it, I'd start a hog pile on my side next to the blind.

There was a bill introduced in 2005 to address this very thing, but it never passed. Print this article off, put it in a waterproof bag and secure it to the fence so the encroacher will find it. Maybe he will get the "hint".

Bad idea. Same thing happened on two ranches near my place. One put up a new stand on the fence line, so the adjacent hunters started using the area directly across the fence as the "gut" pile. Turkeys, ducks, dove and deer were all dumped there. Guy with the stand called the GW and the GW gave the hunters 2 days to have it all cleaned up and moved, otherwise, it would be classified as "hunter harassment."

Funny how some people only want the laws in effect to be enforced that they agree with but want to have vigilante justice on someone that following the law. Makes me wonder how they pick and choose which laws to follow themselves.

Same people that argue about fence line hunters will turn around and argue the opposite for HF's and use land owner rights as the argument. Then a different person will use the argument that they "aren't your deer, they are the states deer" but get mad when someone tries to draw "their" deer off the property. Can't remember how many times I have heard the phrase "hunting is hunting, as long as it is legal"

I personally have no issue with stands and feeders on a fence line. I believe that a man has a right to do what he wants on his land and hunt where he wants. I also believe that a man has a right to put a stand right across the fence from someone that has one on their property.

Last count, there were 13 stands and feeders on our fence lines. We had one complaint because a shot at the feeder would be pointing at one of our stands that was about 200 yards off the fence. We asked the neighbor to move the stand and now they are parallel to the fence. No more issue. Also, two of those stands was also a member here on the forum. When we cleared that fence line, it took an effort not to knock the stand over because it was so close to the fence.

I don't agree with the "moral/ethical" debate. I don't see a blind on a fence line as being a bad neighbor either. I see it as they are trying to utilize their acreage and farm to best increase their chances.

As a side note, I don't hunt the neighbors fence lines and off the top of my head, the closest any of our hunters are to a fence (that isn't ours) is about 200 yards.

We did have one in the past that would use a milk jug full of corn tied to a rope to throw corn on our side of the fence and used the rope to pull the jug back to his side. That did tick me off...

Going a step farther, good luck in proving that a bullet actually crossed your fence line. I hear that argument alot in these threads, but the way it was explained to me, it is a law that is rarely convicted on its own. It was implemented to be added to the list of violations on poachers and is typically only written in conjunction with other violations of poaching or trespassing.

Your next to last paragraph is why folks get concerned when someone places stands/feeders right on a neighbors fence line. Whether there is intent or not to do anything unethical it leads to suspicion and concern. Safety is also a factor. We keep all stands and hunting at least 300 yards off any fence line and keep all stands a minimum of 800-1000 yards apart.

Well said TREX and I completely agree...

My blind on a fence line facing the interior of my land is me not being a good neighbor? Bs

More like people minding my business more than their own.

At my residence I have a feeder 30' from the fenceline. I don't shoot deer here, just feed them. Would you fellas (fenceline feeder haters) have a problem with that if I was your neighbor?

If you have 2000 acres to hunt and are doing this IMO I don't think that is being a good neighbor.
