When I found my ideal stand location this year and hung a stand, there is absolutely no easy access to it without coming into the edge of the tree line through a farmers field. I could take an hour to go the 200 yrds in, at 5 am to be sure to not be spotted, but its so tempting to go along the neighbors field and cut in the 25 yrd to the stand (its that close to the property line).

Would you feel that it is OK to do this if you are stealthy enough to get away with it, or would your conscience bother you about the ethical part.


The yellow circle is the stand location Im talking about. The landowners have an alpaca farm here and are absolutely against hunting, much less using their land to enter my hunting areas.

I do respect them, and have not yet asked, as I have an idea of what the answer would be. What would you do.
