Thanks everyone!

I'm lucky to have a great friend that lets me hunt his land. It's not far from Kerrick and there isn't much hunting pressure. Of the five neighbors only one really hunts there land and another one feeds but doesn't hunt. The frustrating thing about the neighbor that does hunt is that he is the kind of hunting neighbor you don't want to have. Neighbors have found his stands on their land and they drive their ATV's all over the place during the season. In fact, opening morning just as the sun was coming up I'm scanning the woods and I see this shiny ladder just on his side of the property line. 30 minutes after the sun came up I see the orange walking down the property line and he climbs the stand. He was 70 yards away from me hunting the same clearing as me - on my buddy's land. That afternoon I approached the guy and let him know that under no instance can he take a shot on a deer that is not on his side of the property line. I ended up moving my stand after Monday's hunt before I left for the week. Oh, and the stand was a homemade job made out of shiny aluminum ... they didn't get anything from that stand.

iSnipe - if I had to I would have taken the front on short but I didn't want it turning into a gut shot. I love my .270!
