I shot my first two bow bucks with blue jeans and t-shirt on. The white shirt though is definitely a bad idea, I agree. I would say NOTHING to this clown. You might clue him in and make him a better hunter. That is the last thing you want. If you can see him moving you can bet the deer know he's there. Use him to your advantage if you can. Try to think of how deer will react to avoid him, and that is where you should set up.
Don't educate this goof about anything!

What about him shooting towards you at a deer that is clearly out of his effective range? How unsafe is that? Man, I would have had to gotten down and taught him a valuable lesson.

This seems like odd advice. Why would you not want to educate "this goof" about anything? Why would you not want to help him be a better hunter? The better he is and the more educated he is, the less impact he will make on your neighboring property.

Todays world is a "I" world. Me first, the hell with everyone else. I guess that depends on if you want to try and talk tothe guy. Perhapsmake a friend and try to help some one. Show him the right ways. If he doesn't abide then move on. OR you can get worked up about it and act ugly, and be a jerk and get nothing accomplished and not be the bigger person. Flame away on that.

RE: They're worse than I thought!
You probably need to read my first post before making assumptions. This land in question has been in the family for nearly 100 years. My cousion only gained control of it when my grandmother died. I've been hunting there for over 25 years and she told him to let me continue to hunt there before she died. He severely limited the area I have access to -- it's only this one piece and it's less than 5 acres. He also is allowing these 3 others on the same piece of property. I have been trying to avoid the area whenever they're around, but with the wind on sat night, I almost HAD to go to where I did if I wanted to hunt. I know these guys were bad hunters -1 small doe in 5 years from 3 people in a great spot is pretty bad -- they've shot and lost some too. After seeing one of them shoot sat, I can see why. I kill about 5 from that same piece of land every year -- and in about a month, my cousin's planning on running a bulldozer through there and turning it all into a pasture for his horses and cattle.
THAT's part of what is upsetting about this. One month left and these guys are ruining what's left.
