Fine idea Pass Thru, it really is UNTIL..........someone shoots a monster on the other side of the fence. With big racks equaling BIG money these days, it'll only take one time when someone shoots a big rack on the other side of the fence to spoil your agreements.
There are still places that neighbors are still neighborly. Take my familys farm in KS. as example. We hunt on most of our neighbors land, and they hunt on ours. During rifle season, often times, all the neighbors hunt together, helping each other fill tags. Porbably won't be that way forever, BUT it sure is nice when everyone gets together with a common goal in mind, to kill deer! There's still not any deer in that area with anyone's name on them.
This reminds me of a buck that was killed close to home several years ago. I guy shot it with a muzzleloader, the buck crossed onto another property where evidently some pheasant hunters came across the carcass. The pheasant hunter wanted to keep it, but the landowner decided he wanted it, then the guy who shot it found out about it and he laid his claim to it. The whole thing ended up in court where I believe the landowner won. I saw the buck twice, and he was huge!
