I'm assuming that you're asking about the law as it may pertain to setting a stand/feeder on a fence line. I'm not 100% positive, but I don't believe it is illegal to do so. It IS however illegal to shoot across a property boundary, which is what you alluded to some folks doing. If they do that, they're 1,000 times more terrible of a person who sticks the stand on the property line. They're blatant lawbreakers

For the record, I don't now, nor have I ever, had a stand on a property boundary. Just making a statement

If he's HF it i wouldn't have a problem with putting the stand just inside the fence line and I would definitely take advantage of the work he did clearing the brush. As others have stated...I just would make sure I'm not shooting over his fence line.

But they will travel the fence line. As long as it's high fenced and there's no stand behind you, I wouldn't have a problem with it. I'd even put in a couple of food plots in the new clearings

One reason is you would be able to shoot into your property, opposed to shooting towards a fence line and having the bullet cross. Don't think he's interested in what the neighbor is doing, but possibly opened up a whole new hunting opportunity.

If someone built a stand next to my HF I would drive by it several times during the day.. Would you want that? It is my property and I can do what I want. It is his property and he can do what he wants. Who do you think it will affect most?

I guess you can do what you want on your place, but harassment comes to mind

That is very hard to prove. I have lived here for over 50 years and who do you think will win. A land owner or someone who has a deer lease?

Seems kinda sad that you wouldn't have something better to do with your time and energy than intentionally "drive by it several times during the day" and harass them (you're still harassing them even if it can't be "proven") just to punish them for doing something that's perfectly legal and considered by most to be ethical as well.

Why would you do that though? What harm is them putting up a blind on their side of the fence?

Because I am a mean old s o b that is set in his ways.

hard to argue with that!

Got to thinking about it and what I have come to realize is that if a person has to put a blind on a fence line it must be that he has lived in the city all his life and has to be close to his neighbor. I have seen this numerous times. A person buys a place in the country to get away from the city and instead of building their house in a secluded place they build it next to the fence where they can see the neighbor. If you lease a place to hunt it is alright to put your blind where you can't see your neighbor and he can't see you. Isn't that what hunting is about? To get out in the middle of nature?

I see plenty of high fence places where they themselves put the blinds on the fenceline facing into the place. I dn't know what you couldn't do the same.

It sounds like you're just an old jackass mouthing off on the Internet. I would like to think no one would act that way towards a neighbor. If you really acted that way you'd get to enjoy a fistfight the next time your neighbor saw you at the feed store. At least you would in the part of Texas I grew up in.

If I didn't ever want to see my neighbors or my neighbors blind I wouldn't drive my fenceline, ever. Where I hunt I can see a neighbors blind 1500 yrds away but it doesn't bother me. The only problem I have with blinds close to fencelines is if it is a LF place and they might be tempted to shoot an animal on the other side. If it is HF all they can do is look.

Wow....maybe we can agree that folks need to chill out a little? No need to start calling names here.

I have been called worse by way better than you.

Those old fellas get lonely and cranky. Pay them no mind

Actually I am one of the best neighbors people could have. I get along very good with all of them. I either have keys or lock codes for most of them. I have their phone numbers to call if I see something that doesn't look right on their properties. Most do not live here and they have trusted me to take care of their properties as if it were my own. And no they do not have blinds on the fence lines and neither do I.

so you are telling me that someone without permission or notice cleared someone else's land? and put up a high fence? sounds like a neighbor who doesn't want to know their neighbors.being a high fence I don't see a problem with a blind on a property fence line.

I don't consider it ethical to have blinds right on the fence line. Having just purchased 196 acres we are discussing where and how many set ups to have. One thing we agree on is to keep off of the fence lines.

I would think you would have a little more self control than to call someone else names on the internet as well.
But the reality is most responsible land owners work to keep a mutually beneficial relationship with their neighbors. However lessors are often less concerned with what is right for the land owner. Too often hunters have the attitude that they pay their money so they should be able to do what they want. I have a small (20 acre) place in Missouri that I hunt. I have one stand. Pretty much in the middle of the place.

The specifics in this case are along a high-fence fenceline. I'd say that's different than low-fence, and that most would agree that it's not unethical to have a blind along a high-fence fenceline. Obviously some feel differently, but it still wouldn't justify someone intentionally harassing other law-abiding hunters because they disagree. That's just sorry.

Sounds like lake of trust in your neighbor. The guy with the blind on the fence. Can only hunt legally the 180 degrees around his blind on his side of the fence. Now he might scare your deer walking up to his blind

All a HF does is keep people honest. its a permanent demonstration that all I'm interested in is whats standing on my side of the fence. that's the way it should be HF or LF. past that with reasonable hunting practices in place I don't think it much matters if you're HF or LF or where you put your blinds. I would be inclined to not put mine next to the fence, but I don't see any moral or legal dilemma with it if the property line is HF.

on a LF property a blind on the fenceline means that I'm interested in looking at both sides and maybe more interested in whats on the neighbors property than I am in whats on mine.
