It can be a little aggravating to say the least. I found that our neighbor set up shop on our adjoining fence line with a feeder no more than 75/80 yards from the fence, what is unfortunate is I have an established bow set offset from the fence ( 80-100 yrds.) directly in line with him. so in essence I was crowding the fence first I suppose, this bow set was for a southern wind. What is more disappointing is that my rifle set is close to 200 yards off of this fence in plain sight of the new blind. Again, it is established and had been there for 8 years this year. I just don't see how someone can hunt in such a dilapidated blind. One good blind fart and all 4 walls would blow apart

We're all hunting the same deer, so why does it matter if the neighbor shoots it 50yrds from your fence or 500yrds into the interior of his property?

I own and live on 30 acres in grayson county, my stand is in tree right on back fence line. My land, my rules but I sure appreciate some trying to decide what I can and cannot do on my own property......

It is your land - your home is your land - so you are correct - you can DECIDE what to do on you property. If your decision affects your neighbor in a negative way then by law you can do that but is it the right thing to do?

I equate this thread to the same as how you live next to your neighbors in your home. You have the "right" to let your dogs bark all night at your neighbors window. You have the "right" to have lights shining into your neighbors window all night. But is that the "right" thing to do? Sorry but I am old school and always will be. "Respect your neighbor" is a saying that has stood the test of time whether at your home or on your deer hunting area. I would not dream of placing a stand or feeder right on a fence line no matter what the size of property because I would never want my neighbor thinking I wanted what he has. It is a simple matter of respecting those around you and treating others as you would like to be treated -

Poor analogy. While my dogs barking all night creates a disturbing sound that crosses property lines that my keep my neighbors from getting a good night of sleep, I don't see how my hunting stand near the property line does anything at all to my neighbor. It doesn't cross the property line. There is no disrespect to the neighbor. If the neighbor feels disrespected, then he just needs to grow up. The neighbor is welcome to put up his stand on the other side of the fence as well. In fact, I would enjoy the company.

I always try and mind my own... seems to be the best way to respect someone... by not butting into their business

Time to insert a corner post since the dogs have been brought in

That's a tough spot. But until there is law against it there is nothing you can do. Would be nice if there was an incrochment law like there is when building a home near a property line

Well I guess I'm not as good a neighbor as some of y'all. I've got a ring of blind's bordering the outside of my place and they're there for one reason only and that's to pull deer off of my place. Is it legal no doubt about it but it's also rude, inconsiderate and pretty much the flying finger in the face of your neighbor. Put a blind on the fence-line and no amount of talking will convince me your being neighborly, you said all you need to say by doing so. I have 12 places that I feed on my place and not one of them is closer than 200 yards from the fence and none can be seen from neighboring property. The last of 8 miles of new fence was completed last year and I took extra care in making sure I now have a clear driving lane around the entire exterior of the place and I now use it exclusively to get to different feeding site's and ground blind's. If all that activity screw's up your hunting the fence-line then that's just too damn bad. 20 years ago I didn't have to do that but 20 years ago I didn't have 12 feeders and 14 blind's sitting with 2-50 yards from the fence-line. Mrs. B and I will take about 2 buck's a year, my brother and a friend from Cali will take a couple of more with other close friends taking a few doe's. We average about 8 deer a year taken off three sections and that's about all I feel comfortable taking and keeping a good healthy herd for next year. Now with everybody sitting on fence-lines we're looking at 20 plus deer a year coming off my place and it can't sustain that type of loss. Why do I say coming off my place? That one's easy they're hunting open pasture area's and I have the only water and bedding area's within a few miles. It's not my fault they decided to grub the 12 sections east of me or spray the 5 sections on my west side in an effort to kill all the mesquites, cactus and cedars, they did it to themselves. If I don't high-fence in a couple of years my deer population is going into the chitter, they've already killed every damn turkey in the area so it's just a matter of time before the deer follow suit. Since we have such a good crop of quail this year I plan on hunting them early and often and since I now have such good perimeter road's they will be the one's most traveled. If that screws up their hunting too damn bad! I was a good neighbor 20 year's ago but after an onslaught of lease hunters setting up on fence-line's that has changed. So as the fence-line hunting continue's so will the hi-fence business grow, you reap what you sow. So am I now considered an arsehole most likely but it took 20 year's of putting up with those damn fence-line hunters to turn me into one. It didn't have to be like this but respect and consideration for your neighbor is lost on some people.
