I am reading a lot about going down to a level that we as outdoors folks should not go. I would like to know a few things I am new to hunting and the laws with it, so can some one tell me some thing about about feeders on fence lines?
1. Is it legal to have one right on the fence line?
2. I do know you can not shoot over across the fence but can you shoot down the fence on your side?
3. Is it hurting anyone with it being there?
4. Is it ok to break the law to try to get him/her to move the feeder?
5. doing some of the things I read on here today sounds like it will be breaking the Harassment of Hunters, Trappers, or Anglers (Sportsmen's Rights Act) is it?
6. Is it worth taking a chance to be punished by a fine of $200 to $2000 and/or 180 days in jail?
In short should we as sportsmen and women go down to a level that will make us look bad to the rest of the world, we have enough problems right now with out making more for us? We all know others read this let show the everyone we are better than this.

If every person could respect everyone else you would never have this situation. That is not possible. You are to always know where your bullet is going and you are responsible for where it ends up. The above mentioned photos show a blind facing a feeder next to your fence line. There is no way that there bullet will not cross your fence line but there is no law to protect people from this type of scenario. To jrpbullrider this scene is way more common that you can image. To logical people it does not make sense and that is why you can't understand how it happens. That is why so many hunters are frustrated.

6. Is it worth taking a chance to be punished by a fine of $200 to $2000 and/or 180 days in jail? No In short should we as sportsmen and women go down to a level that will make us look bad to the rest of the world, we have enough problems right now with out making more for us? If they are going to be shooting across your fence I would stop them ASAP my daughter and wife go with me sometimes and I need to make sure it is safe for them. It is just not right for someone to shoot at your property. Lets say I do this with my 7mm ok I shoot a deer next to your fence and hit it. Say I am hunting 100yards from your fence but I shoot towards your fence to hit the deer my bullet goes threw the deer and goes say 200 yards past your fence what could I possible hit that is within 200yards of your fence.(ALOT)
We all know others read this let show the everyone we are better than this. I would stop them.

The problem with them being on the fenceline, is not that they might kill "one of your" deer. They can kill "one of your" deer if their feeders and stands are 200 yards off the fence, just as easy. The problem is, it's not ethical and on top of that it is dangerous. This is how people get hit with stray bullets. I'm not real keen to the idea of a bullet flying past my daughter when we're out at the ranch, so some jack wagon can put one more hunter on their 200 acres and putting me and my family at jeopardy. SO YEAH, I'm gonna go down that road to make his hunting spot as unproductive as possible. Just so you know, I am well aware of the boundaries of law. My father was a game warden for 31 years. He's helped me try to politley get people like this loon off our fencelines to make it a safer place for everyone.

That is right they should not be shooting towards you property.
I have a blind and feeder on a fence line but the property owner has not been on the land in over 10 years. His gate is on my place and the only way to his property is going threw my gate and he does not have the new code.

A buddy of mine told me to put a bar of Ivory soap on a tree on my side of the fence but close to their feeder. he said the deer will not come within 50 yards of the soap. I am not sure if it works, but sounds like it might.

Since finding leases can be a pain I have considered buying a small couple of acres strip of land next to a big hunting ranch. How far should a feeder be away from their fence? The firing lane would be parallel.
To be determined

to me makes no sense at all to put a feeder that close to the fence. is any of the corn the feeder putting out crossing over then fence on you side? if it is that should give you something to gripe about to the game warden. i would look and see where the deer are traveling off your place going to the feeder. sit up a stand a distance from the feeder and hunt it to. may even be a good place to set up a target and sight in your gun or even have a skeet shoot on your side along the fence.

nope, no law about where a feeder can be placed.
But, their bullet cannot cross the property line. That is right!!

What about putting a blind right next to his feeder on your side of the fence? Then you could hunt either direction of that fence and catch anything coming and going from/to your property. Ever find a bullet hole in your stand, call the game warden and show it to him/her. (I wouldn't recommend actually hunting in this blind, just more for show).

I've heard of using predator urine, mostly coyote urine, to keep deer away from gardens, yards, etc.
I've always wondered if those really worked....

If you want to be anal you can tell the GW the corn that the feeder is throwing onto your property is littering. We had people hunting the fenceline at out property. GW came out and said if any corn they throw gets on our property he can cite them for littering. This was a Dimmit county GW.

Just another example of the many situations that occur in hunting where just because it may be legal, that doesn't make it ethical.
I always use this example to challenge those who try to claim that anything is legal must also be considered ethical. There may be no laws against sleeping with another man's wife, but ...

We have had this problem a time or two lots of silver streamers and those little cheap whirly wind mills on the fence work pretty well and send the message. I have also been known to pour some real stinky stuff on my side of the fence. Just make sure it is natural and not a threat to the enviroment. That rules out your old jockey shorts!

Our neighbors do stuff like this all the time. Really isn't much you can do about it. Just make your pasture that much better the deer won't bother with their feeder. You have those guzzlers which is awesome. Alfalfa will pull those deer. Put it out year round.
Any hunter you find will be a day hunter who doesn't know boundaries etc. The fact that they put feeders on your fencline says you are doing something right. Don't sweat it.

that easy to fix a pvc pipe and a push after a time or two they will move it This one has worked for me. It's weird what the wind will do in certain locations. After they figure that out and move it the wind doesn't blow it over any more.
