Well this afternoon I took a walk around one of the farms I have permission to hunt

I found a tree stand just over the property line , 5 feet off facing the property line
In a 10' wide strip of trees
It is facing onto the farm I have sole permission to bow hunt on

I talked to the land owner and the farmer
They both have had run in's with a guy that lives on the next road over
Hunting several places without permission

Non of us want to get in a shouting match with this fool , as the last time tires were slashed and fences were cut
And catching him would be next to imposible
As acess to where he has the stand is tough , Neither the police or DNR have been able to catch him on several propertys
Messing with his stand would be just as bad and he could call the police on us

We contacting the land owner where the stand is located
No no one has permission to hunt there
But no we can't touch the stand or cross the property line
He was quite clear on that


So we have decided , if we can't stop him from hunting that stand
We will try and stop all the deer from going past his stand

We are planning on spraying some type of deer repellent all around the stand

As the deer have a number of trails bypassing his stand
We just want the deer to not use the trails around his stand




Anyone know of a efective deer repellent that we could put in a back pack sprayer ?
It would be nice if it was reasonably cheap
As we are hopeing to spray 50 yds in all directions of the stand
And into the treeline where the stand is
As far as we can without crossing the property line


Any ideas ?
