it is frustrating when a neighbor is on the fence line...we have one that put up his feeder not 20 yards from the fence and a pop up blind about 75 away from that....if he shot at something by the feeder his bullet would cross our fence if he missed or passed through...I sent a nice letter to the owners and even the included the law about projectiles crossing the fence...all I asked was if they could possibly move the feeder 50 to 100 yards further away from the fence line and all would be good...(and yes they have plenty of room to do that) and guess what...the feeder hasn't moved an inch and all the guy did was build a tower stand...about 125 yards away from the feeder but it is about 50 yards off the fence.....it just ticks me off.......we did move an extra stand that he can see directly from his stand and is about 45 yards from his feeder...just to make him wonder...

I do not think the bone dump will have any effect. I have a pic of a young buck that is chewing on a bone from our pig dump. I had a lease once near HYE and the lady next door leased 60 acres of pasture to 3 dudes. Only choice they really had was our fence line. We all peed in gallon jugs and dumped under their feeders at night. We figured out that human hair was the best deer repellent. It carries a lot of scent and does not dry up like P. Now who is being a bad neighbor.... Um, the 3 guys hunting 60 acres, right on their neighbors fence line. If you'd let me know where your lease is, I'll lease 60 acres right next to it, put 3 guys in there, & make sure they put their stands on your fence line. Then maybe you will understand. But I kinda doubt it........ I do not hunt the place any longer. Number 1 60 acres is much too small for 3 people, number 2 an open pasture with 10 cedar trees bordered on one side by a FM road and no resident deer should never be leased. I blame the old lady that owned the place. All of her neighbors felt the same way. We did not even have to cross the fence to pour urine under their feeders. One of the feeders was right next to a major bedding area that we tried to stay out of.

Make a road on the fence line and drive in and park right beside their feeder. You may have to relocate your setup but it should make it difficult for them to see anything at the feeder. With a small place like yours it will be impossible to keep deer from crossing but you can make it difficult for them to hunt the fence line. I had a similar issue with someone that had 180 acres hunting our fence line. I made a road down the fence line and we started driving it every chance we could and someone parks right beside their feeder every day we are hunting. Eventually they moved it back into their pasture and we stopped parking there.

It sounds as if they are more meat hunters than trophy hunters. I would make sure to bow hunt during October and with crossbows now legal to use, you could have your kids use them instead of a bow. I would also make sure to hunt youth weekends. I would not hunt the beginning of gun season just for the fact that if they are just meat hunters, they will probably be shooting deer pretty early in the season. Good luck on your deer season and congrats on the free 100 acres to hunt. The only free land I have to hunt is all coastal fields and full of cattle.

I hunted twice around Bochika, OK. The natives deer management program was strictly "If it's brown, it's down".
coffee spelled backwards is eeffoc. I don't give eeffoc until I have my morning coffee.

They could move all the way to the other side of their 300 acres and it won't make a bit of difference. Being trapped on 100 acres, whatever you do to deter the deer is only going to hurt your own chances.
