In my opinion if a hunter puts his stand in a position where shooting on other property is an option when the hunter had other areas he could have put the stand that would not cause the situation to arise, then he willl most likely intends to take a shot if it is the right deer. You may not like the answer but that is my veiw of human nature.
This morning I've thought about this and was about to say what teedub just said. X2

I have an agreement with my adjoining landowner...No permanent stands within 200 yards of the property line. This was for safety reasons. It also eliminates the "shooting across the line" issue.

In the OP's question, the stand should have never been placed where it was to begin with.
