Default Aggrevating Situation

I'll start off by saying that our hunting property is surrounded on 3 sides by a single piece of property, and some great looking property too. This morning I went out to set in one of my favorite stand sites. I had hung my treelounge down in a little draw on the north side of our property. The easiest and quietest entry to this stand involves a walk along the fenceline that separates our property from the neighbors. The draw that I hunt runs east and west the fenceline runs north and south, and my stand is hanging approx. 100-125 yards off the fenceline. The draw ends just before it meets the fence. On the other side (the neighbors side) there is one large pecan tree that sits just a few feet off the fenceline, the rest of the property on his side all around this area is pasture. So, after setting all morning without any luck, I decide to go back to the house. As I walk back to the fenceline and start back toward my truck, I glance over and see two stands hanging in the lone pecan tree across the fence. The stands are hanging side by side and facing our property[:@]. Now, I'm not one to get mad at just anything and I tried to reason about why someone would do this when they've got the rest of the property to hunt? Why would they hang their stands right over the fence? I can't come up with anything. The tree that the stands are in is less than 15 feet on their side, which is fine, but they are obviously planning on shooting a deer that is across the fence on our side! Why would someone be so blatent about it? What would you do? I don't have much time to be out there so I thought I'd write a note and leave it on the tree with my Phone # on it to see if they'll call me. Then I could question them about this whole situation. I wonder if they've already shot deer from that tree? By the way, we lease this land, so I don't know the neighbor personally, but I do know he doesn't hunt and untill now, I didn't know he let anyone else hunt.
