Your right, I am the one with the open pasture. He has some pretty thick stuff that hold deer, their are some that cross where he's at but most of the deer come from the land to the east of me, that fence is the south property. I understand him catching the deer coming off his property. But where he is set up the only thing he can watch is my pasture and where the trail crosses the fence he cleared like a 15ft circle and he's about 3 yards from the circle in the dead open about 7 ft off the ground. If that's his shot he would have to be ready and from the looks of it he would have a hard time with that. The deer have highways across my pasture towards my setup and he can watch most of them. He can't see my feeders or food plots, but we will see.

I would guess my feeder and setup are something like 175yds - 200yds off the fence line. As the crow flys I would guess I'm about 300yds from him.

I hunt the southwest corner of the property and one is on my west fence the other is on the south. I'm about the same distance from both fences.

I really don't mind the second guy on the fence I know it's part of it, but his stand is setup where his only view is my pasture and about a 15ft circle on his side of the fence. If he's hunting deer on his side he wouldn't be able to see them until they were 15ft from the fence. He would have to act really fast without cover and being about 3yds off that trail. Also his only way in and out of his setup is right down the game trail. Also he chopped the top of some of the brush down in front of his stand between him and my pasture?

Could be his bow stand.

I can tell you've read "How to Win Friends & Influence People."

Sometimes night time "winds" can reek havoc with certain deer blinds.

I'd fix the fence for your grand father on the south end... say 100yards of 6' netwire

I'd dump three or four nasty dead hogs next to the fence by his stand. He'll move.

I agree, I would make the GW aware of #1. For the other one I would set up game cams and watch him.

He said what alot of people think,doesn't mean it would be acted on. Just frustration can get the best of anybody and sometimes venting helps. We have same thing happen in Oklahoma. Dad will sit in truck have a few beers and smoke cigar while he calls our cows in to get head count.

Agree. Rather him set on fence line and shoot toward his property than sit back and shoot over the fence toward my place.

To the OP, some people , including me, might think you set your feeder up to draw deer from my property.

Try to be as civil as possible. Take it from there.

Scarecrow or two, along deer trail

Lots of these comments would have me calling the GW claiming hunter harassment if they happened at my lease.

All my setups are to the center of my property. I had a neighbor who has a 20 acre pasture on my west fence. He had a stand and a feeder set up near my fence. My fence was actually one side of his feeder pen. I didn't get mad I just drove my fence line and parked near the feeder to walk into my setup thats 100 yards from the fence. If it's cold sometimes I sat in the heater for a little bit before I walk to my stand. I did keep my head low though. Now we're friends and he reset up his feeder there.

The difference between me and everyone else is I say what I'm actually thinking. You think its wrong or childish and that's fine. But 9 times out of 10, the game warden won't do anything to either person. At most a little ticket for something, and that's a stretch. I've had people mess with my stuff and I involved the game warden and law and nothing happened. Even with clear proof. Did it my way and I've been problem free since. Good luck to whoever with solving the problem.

Your more than welcome to beleive that and it might be true. I don't know how much land is on that side of the fence. From my three years of hunting and scouting 90% of my deer come from other surrounding properties. My setup is a pretty goods way into my property. I hunt a funnel above a creek bed. I have taken the time to grow food plots a free choice protien feeder and other sources. I took the time to run a water system from a spring fed creek to an old 1/4 acre pond to give multiple watering holes. The deer do not hold on my place 24hrs a day but seem to spend their nights there then roam around to the property to my east. I large thickly wooded no pressured piece of land. If I was setting up to draw deer off anyone's land it would be theirs, but the only good setups put me on top of that fence so I moved on te other side of the 57 acre pasture on mine to the edge of my 30 acre river bottom. The deer cross that pasture and come to my setups but there not on a fence and can't be seen from the other properties.

Did you ever contact the GW?

I at least got a chuckle out of what MonsterRaxx said, whether I agree or not.

Anyhow, +1 on the GW and I can't say what would be said if I ever saw the guys doing this stuff. I have a hard time holding back when I'm out in the country. Not too smart when I'm alone but I've got guns just in case. I would hope nothing would ever come to blows.

The best move here is the wise one, get the law involved to show you've got them on your side. If words are ever said, you've got a backup story to fall back on if'n you ever had to whoop someone down.

I do love the billboard idea though!

I'd pay money to see a video of that! Too damn funny
I can see it now
"hey neighbor, I ran out of tobacco. You got any I can borrow?"
"Yeah, here's my extra...I'll toss it to you"
"Thanks bud. You wanna call it quits on this and work together?"
"Hell yes! I'm sorry I set up like this"
"No problem, lets meet up at my camp later and have a beer"
"Sounds good"

If you're close enough, you could have a cooler of beer between the 2 stands and split the cost of a case of beer!!!

#2 is where I would, from this day forward, take my #2....just saying...

Get a string and 2 tin cans and you guys let each other know what you're seeing.

hunted a place off 209 west of Graham years ago and the pasture across the road from us had a fenceline that went up and over a large steep hill. both sides of the fence were cleared as the hill was pretty thick....then a 20ft tower was placed on the fenceline on one side at the top of the hill...the next year, another 20ft tower was place on the fence on the other property...I bet they could shake hands...those two stands were there for a few years and were there when we left our lease...for all I know they're still there...always thought that was funny & would drive down that road every year to see if they were still there. Anyhow, we don't set up on fences and don't really appreciate it when our neighbors do...that being said, we don't do anything about it unless we can see that laws are being broken. To the extent you can, try to get to know the guys around you...solves a lot of problems....
