The issue seems, in my opinion, what is legal or not. As someone mentioned earlier, there is no such thing as near tresspassing, otherwise I'm always near speeding doing 63 in a 65 mph speed zone. Communication and understanding of another is very important. One should try and put themselves in the other persons shoes and come to grips with what the other person may be trying to say and is feeling. I posted earlier that, "I don't have as much of an issue that a neighbor places his/her stand near the border of our camp properties, the issue I would have is that it's facing my property. Therefore I would go talk to my neighbor and have a discussion, indicating he should face it the other direction. This way if a deer comes from either direction, he can take a shot. The deer coming off my property onto his and vice versa if the deer his from his property heading toward him. The only issue after that is, depending onthe outcome of ourdiscussion and relationship, is weather or not I would allow him to track/recover the deer from my property. First step, trycommunication."

Sure, could the land owner be trying to block his/her silhouette, yes by all means. We just need to go and communicate. I would assume that you would have build a relationship with your neighbor way prior to hunting season. In my situation, my neighbors are rarley around and practice brown its down hunting tactics. Good for them, I don't agree and therefore think cautiously when I see a stand 10 feet from my border facing me. It would be wonderful if we all just got along, but reailty is in most cases we don't. Best policy is to try and respect the other landowners rights and the law, which means if a 150" buck is walking 30 feet on your neighbors land, DON'T SHOOT! If your thought process is like ShatoDavis, as in his recent comment, " What I'm saying is get along with your neighbors and chill out a little. The guy isn't going to hurt anything. So what if he kills a super buck right there. You may get a nicer one the next day. Live and let live. So what if he shoots the thing ten yards on your side of the fence." I would say don't shoot because YOU SHATODAVIS may get the nicer buck the next day, why commit an illegal act for your own personal gain. By all means try and get along with your neighbor, but if you don't, then at least respect the law. When you don't,your areHURTING SOMETHING, the principals and integrity that our counrty was founded on, laws for the people and by the people. I don't condone what the landowner did as far as pulling your steps out and placing Tide under the stand, that was down right dirty, just like if someone shot an 150" buck while it was on my property, dirty. Thinking the world is a better place because a neighbor diedtrying to protect his little 80 acre oasis is just plain rude. After your comment, "Then some @$$hole bought 80 acres bordering me. Now this jerk thought that his 80 acres was off limits and no one should even look across his fence. Your talking about 80 acres bordering folks with 1000+ on all sides. Hell, he spent more time running fences during season than hunting. He'd here a shot and take off towards it to make sure that it wasn't on him. A class a jerk!", I wouldn't want you as a neighbor either. That JERK as you referto was right to say his 80 acres was off limits to your kind, the one's who own 1000+ acres on all sides and then still greedy enough to want the right to hunt his "belittled 80 acres" I own 92 acres and I have theRIGHT if I choice to keep intolerant people like you off. Follow your own adivice, "Secondly, you don't own the deer. and you can't look at the money you've spent as an investment. Deer roam (unless they are in high fence). Deer jump fence lines. You can plant your grandpa's whole farm up in Mossy Oak Biologic and it doesn't make that 200 inch buck that feeds there anymore yours than the man in the moon." Your right, that deer is no more yours either and yes you did piss off some folks.[:@]
