The ladder stand looked brand new to me. For all I know, he put it up the day before we found it.
Here's the bottom line...I find it somewhat un-ethical and in poor judgment to put a stand where his is. I myself wouldn't do it because of safety concerns and fear that my neighbor would not like it. Evidently, some of you don't think that way. "His land, he can do whatever he wants"! Well, I'm glad those folks on here don't hunt near me. I'm all about being friendly and neighborly and that's what I'll try to do, but if he can't see that his stand is in a place that will cause tension, then other tactics will have to be considered.
You have not seen him in the stand and have not caught him breaking the law, and since the stand looks new it maybe there to deter YOU from crossing HIS property line or shooting on to HIS property! Untill you catch him trespassing I'd let it alone,you only lease the land,let your landlord deal with the situation or you may not like the outcome.
And like someone eles stated deer just don't apear in an area they have to come from somewhere just cut them off before they get to that area.
