I called the wildlife violations hotline today. Here's the story. This year we saw a guy (sometimes his wife hunts with him) hunting an adjoining property to my neighbor's. He is hunting on about 25 acres; bordered by a road and a house along one side and my neighbor's fence on the other side. He has hunted here for years, but recently lost permission to hunt the other property across the road because it was sold.

We heard a quite a bit of shooting there this year and he hunted it HARD. He was there almost every day during the archery season, and most of the firearms season. He certainly doesn't work or he would not be there that much. He told my other neighbor on the middle of our 2 week rifle season that he had killed 4 deer. The limit here is 5 per season. He continued to hunt the rest of the season and we heard some other shots in the vicinity he was hunting. My neighbor has seen him there on several Sundays which are a no hunting day here. And, he's back again to hunt the late muzzleloading season.

Anyway, I walked through the property to see what was going on, and saw a spot that appeared to be torn-up due to deer pawing the ground. He is probably feeding them which is again against the law here. But, the real kicker was that he had a ground blind 15 feet from my neighbors fence and pointed towards the fence!!![:@] It is about 20 yards under the ridge line. I know he had to be shooting across the fence!!! And, thirty yards down the fenceline was a tree stand!![:@] It was pointed towards the fence!!!!

I called the game warden and reported it. I hope he finds him and nails his butt. We are trying to practice QDM on our lands and this jerk is shooting deer across the fence!!!!
