Talk toyour friend. When I hunt with one friend we are usually 100-150 yrds away. You might find away that is in both your favor.

If both of you are hunting right out from your backyards I don't see a problem with it. maybe just go as far away as you can on the end of your property. If he can not see you, nor here you then I don't think it is a problem.

Hek if someone put a stand by mine i'd cut it down. I'd be really mad. But that's just the way i am. If i were you though i'd ask him when he's gonna be hunting and if you can hunt near him. Just my thought. Thats wat i do to my neighbors and they dont seem to mind.

It's too close under most circumstances. That being said, it is state land. A guy can't walk in and throw up a bunch of stands claiming the land for his own. If he's not there, it's state land and I'd hunt where I want. Realize of course, if he hunts it a lot you're probably peeing into the wind anyway as the spot is buggered up more than likely. What are the state laws about errecting and leaving stands in place? 75 yards is too close, 100 with a bow is probably not in most cases. Depends on the woods and the vegetation. My gut feeling though is.... It's state land, not his to control when he's not there. I just read one of your later post. It's illegal to leave stands in the woods. Hunt where you want. The guy can't claim State Land for himself. And some of you that state you won't tolerate anyone within 300-400 yards of your stands, now that's a stretch in anyones woods. 440 yards is a quarter of a mile. Unless you own it or have club rules you're being a bit pushy and asking taking in too much territory for your very own. With one stand you claim 1/2 mile square block. I don't think so. NOt in my woods or state land or any club I've ever been in, and we'd tell you so.

Every year we go to northern WI for a late season hunt. we set up about 100 yards from eachother and all see deer. 2 out of 3 peoiple have gotten shots at deer within 1/2 hour. I dont think it's too close. Talk to him and see.
