If it is REALLY bothering you take some equipment and offer assistance to cut a sendero through is property. Help him relocate the blind and you prolly have a new buddy for life....or just do it the hard way. Good luck.

Some places require 10 acres before any shooting is done.

Does he have a stand or just a feeder?
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

Talk to the person. If they are shooting the state’s deer inside toward their property then I wouldn’t worry.
Maybe even talk to them about retrieving deer and a procedure for contact.
If they are feeding then you are wasting your creative resources trying to put guts, hair etc. Plus that’s being just as bad.
Who knows you might develop a good neighbor.

Lol all these different suggestions are great. Let me clear the air. This person only has a couple acres that they are trying to pull their deer from my property. They literally can come from nowhere’s else. I know the neighbor and there is no sense in any discussions, I promise You this. I got The best buck I’ve ever seen hitting my place like clock work and I have put in a ton of work into making this place what it is today. I have Been deer hunting for a very long time and I take it very seriously. I need To know what I can Put on the fence line to repel the deer from his couple acre tract. If anyone could help I would Sure appreciate it. I do Not find it unsportsmanlike to repel the deer that he is trying to attract from all my sweat and hard work. It’s simple part of the game in my opinion. The feeder is for 100% fact for hunting.

If it's just a few acres put in a high fence along that side.

Several years ago I had a friend who had a problem similar to yours. He politely asked them if they could move elsewhere and got a "go to heck" reply. So, that first weekend my friend chose to cut some firewood right alone that fence line. Needless to say next weekend the stand and feeder were moved. Unfortunately, your neighbor only having two acres and he can't move far.
I like the high fence idea. Maybe, get yourself a yappy dog and tie him up near that fence line....(Not really).
Put your stand just across from his feeder and shoot the deer coming to his feeder.

Again? It will be hard to prove they're shooting across the fence unless you are there. Do you really want to be there?

Well I dont Want to talk about the legalities of it but I have A neighbor with that bought a couple acres and put a feeder right on my fence line. What can I put on my side to help detour them from there? Soap, hair? My set up is about 250 yards to the north. Any suggestions would sure be helpful. How many acres is a couple?

All I will say is to be careful. I have seen people get charged for hunter harassment for doing many of the things listed on here.
I would put up no trespassing signs against that fence line. If all he has is 2 acres, bow hunting would be very difficult because the chances of that animal staying on his property is pretty slim.

FWIW, if the hunter with the feeder shoots a deer on HIS side of the fence and it jumps said fence onto your property it is still his deer. Ask a game warden or lawyer.
It is what it is..

It may work out in your favor.
There's only 2 seasons in a year. Deer season and getting ready for deer season.

Have the GW come out and look at his setup. If he thinks it's a problem, ask him to talk to your neighbor.

I'm dealing with a similar issue this year for the first time in about 10 seasons.
The guy next door is hunting on a narrow strip of land that borders my place and he put up a feeder and protein feeder in the middle of the strip which is about 300 yards wide.
I used to feed around 300 yards from the fenceline so now his feeder is probably 400 yards at the most from my old feeder.
I decided since he's spending all that money on corn and protein I didn't put any feed in that old feeder this year.
I'll just scatter corn on the ground this year and hunt my powerline and any deer coming or going to his setup will cross my powerline headed to or from his feeder.
I guess I might have to thank him after I kill a deer.

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.

Talk to them about the law and being respectful of your neighbors. IE..if a bullet crosses to your property not only is it very dangerous but illegal.
That working together to keep everyone safe and respectful results in neighbors allowing neighbors to retrieve their wounded game because you have good relations.
More times than not things can be worked out amicably. I'm with Pitchfork

Couple acres. It’s like 2-3ish OK, I didn't know if a couple meant 100 or something. Not sure how he can even hunt on a couple acres. Have a talk with him and if at the conclusion of that talk you aren't satisfied, call the GW.

Repelling the deer is my only option. For the record.
