if their stand is on the fence do you think they are more likely to shoot toward the fence or back towards the middle of their property? i would be more worried about a stand 150 yards away from the fence myself.

Likewise you would be in trouble if you shot the deer then he tagged it and took it home.

I would let him track his deer (while I am with him). I would also take the opportunity to visit with him about considering each of us respecting the other by keeping all stands and feeders at least 200-300 yards off our common fence lines.

While im not gonna say I think they should be laws etc... they do kinda make sense don't they Nog?

What's with all the they have to leave their weapon on other side of the fence? You kidding me with hogs and yotes and fun stuff. If they're tracking for a deer they should have a weapon. What if it was a bad shot and still kicking when they get there? Stone it to death? No wonder our world is falling apart. No trust. I understand there are bad and untrusting people but unless they've given you reason to not trust I'd give them every bit of respect and let them do as I would want done unto me. I moved outta the city to enjoy the quiet and peacefulness. Everybody around me is nice as can be and I return the favor

Do you have a binder you carry all these inane rules in so you can remember them?

Common sense

I am old and have lived in the country for many a year. If any one who gives a sh*t and wants to hear what I think here it is. I think there are way to many of you that have been raised on pavement and think you know it all. You have your laws and think what goes on in the city and works out here have another thing coming. Here sometimes you need to do things that are maybe not the way your city ways dictate. You do it your way and I will do it mine. See which way works best for the both of us. Probably mine out here.

Somehow I managed to "protect the resource" for over 40 years before I started reading your endless lectures.

I'm sure it's my practice of getting straight to the point that really bothers you most.

I don't hunt the fence line (unless you count our own ranch cross fences ) and have no issue with others that do. I would have to count them, but I would guess there are 7-8, and maybe more, along our fences right now. We asked one to relocate because if they shot, the bullet would cross into our property.

Two of our neighbors have called us to track deer on our property. The rancher went with them, walked with them, and tried to help them. When one wasn't found, he called a couple of hunters to come help and called the local trapper to bring a dog.

If he had caught them crossing without contacting one of us, he would not have been happy and more than likely, would have sent them packing out of spite. Or he might have went ahead and let them look, but would have been pissed and told them to call before crossing any fences.

If they were rude or disrespectful, he wouldn't let them cross the fence for any reason.

The charge for trespassing isn't as bad as everyone thinks. Telling them no will probably just make them cross and hope they don't get caught. If they get caught, they will get a slap on the wrist and exactly how far will you go to hold them on your property until the GW gets there? What is it worth?

Man this is not worth the effort - I'm out
