He has both. He is bow hunting it. Mines 75 acres.

It is what it is..


No it is not their deer. It is not what it is. The landowner can tell them to stay off his property all day long. What law allows trespassing? Please post it! If the law was broken, the GW could get a warrant and recover an animal from a property. If no warrant, all the GW can do is politely ask for permission to search one's property for your game you wounded and died on neighbors property. They could say no.

If this is in Texas, he might not have the minimum amount of land to hunt. What county is this?

Buy him out or high fence may be the only options. I do not believe deer repellents really work, but just my opinion.

I have heard Pine Sol works good. I don't know how close the feeder is to the fence, but you could go after dark and just pour it out down the fence line.

That also means any deer coming from his direction will be blocked as well.
It's best to just forget about it and hunt. It's his place and nothing you can do about it, so why let it bother you and elevate your blood pressure over something you have no control over?

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

Place an old pop up blind right behind where he is shooting on your side. All this deer repellent may run off the deer on your side.

This is my understanding as well.

You really have to question the ethics of someone who hunts a two acre tract. Even with a rifle, the possibility of an animal getting to adjacent property before expiring is too great. And with a bow, it’s damn near guaranteed.

I'd ask the Game Warden to talk to him. Other than that, try the liquid fence, and kill the buck before he does.

Asked the lady for permission she said no,she doesnt like hunters.. Called the GW.. he came out, saw the deer, was very polite to the lady she still said no...but thats another thread....

Call the GW and ask for help in remedying the situation....Id invest in a couple wifi cameras hidden that can catch him on your property in case of a trespass..best thing about the wifi.. they can steal them all day long but the pic is already in your phone...And like I said in another thread.. you technically dont own those deer they belong to the state no matter how many acres you have... Remember your 78 next to a 1000 acre ranch may put you in the same boat as his 2....... Deer have no boundaries... Hunt hard and hope you get the big boy before he does....

It’s clear there are two facts surrounding the issue of a neighbor shooting a deer that expires on your property.

First, your neighbors cannot enter your property without your permission. The second fact is game wardens can enter your property to ensure laws are being followed. However, I can find nothing that clearly states a game warden can retrieve deer from your property if they were taken legally. Here is where it seems to get a little complicated.

It would seem if a land owner tags a deer that’s on their property, it becomes their deer and the GW has no right to remove it. A neighbor who may have shot the deer cannot legally enter the property to tag and retrieve it. If a GW enters the property and finds the deer and it’s not tagged, the property owner holds the ball for proper tagging. Otherwise, they can give it to the officer for his decision on what to do with it. This could be the out that officers use to retrieve deer shot by hunters on neighboring lands.

However, it would seem that if the property owner finds that trophy buck on his/her property and tags it, it becomes his/her legal harvest. Not an attorney, but the tagging would seem to be the point at which the deer becomes the property of the one in possession of it.

Whatever the case, if you’re not certain you will be able to legally retrieve and tag a deer once you shoot it, find a spot to hunt where it’s most likely you will.

Here is another thread similar to yours. You may find something helpful in it.

Hearing all of these methods and trickery, it is no wonder HFs go up.

Get clippings from a dog groomer. Usully free for the asking if you have a couple garbage bags. Sprinkle along your side of the fence.


There's only 2 seasons in a year. Deer season and getting ready for deer season.

I have had the same issue as well in the past.

That said, I doubt that the deer you are seeing are only staying on your 75 acres. We hunt 240 acres, and deer are coming and going all the time.

My point is that another neighbor of yours may be honked off that you are shooting "their" deer! It is always the challenge of low fence open range deer hunting.

If it is that important, high fencing that section of your place or spend the same amount of money and buy him out.

One other consideration: be cautious about how nasty you get. There is a decent chance you may be calling him someday for permission to get a deer off his property.

It is what it is..


Nope, and he can’t legally recover it unless you give him permission. That deer can lay 5 feet from the fence and there is zero any game warden or lawyer can do about it.

Information on the TPWD appears to indicate that as well. It also says nothing about a TPWD officer being able to retrieve a deer that has ended up on a neighbor’s land, nor does it recommend that hunters contact a game warden in that same situation. All an officer can do is enter the property to ensure anyone hunting there is complying with all game laws.

I suspect reports of officers retrieving deer on the behalf of hunters, if true, are examples of officers operating in a gray area. They might encourage the landowner to give the animal to the neighbor who shot it, or perhaps burn a tag if they desire to keep it.
