Our lease (all hardwoods) surrounds on 3 sides a 5 acre lot. At the 2 upper corners of the lot are permanent stands right on the line. Opening day of gun I was about 200 yds off one corner. On the way out, I saw 2 adult hunters on one stand facing out into the woods on our land at a ridge/funnel that gets no closer than 75 yds to them- not even pretending to hunt their land.

I told them they were certainly welcome to trail and recover any deer they shot on their property that went onto ours. I also told them that if the bloodtrail indicated the deer was on our side when shot, not only could they not recover, but would also be in court for trespass. We know for sure of 3 times in the last last 2 years of them shooting and recovering deer on the ridge - bloodtails and gut piles were obvious.

They were not happy but it is not right they are hunting our property with their methods.
