LOL, I'm really pissed at the guy, but I don't want him dismembered.

Trust me when I say I know how you feel. I have never dealt with a situation exactly like yours, but I have dealt with everything from poachers and tresspassers to sabatage from neighbors and even a guide I had paid. I can't say that I haven't lost a lot of motivation this year. Heck, I can hardly get myself to even care that it is deer season and I have 2 states to hunt. Just sucks the life right out of sometimes. I don't know man. I just hope your spirit and drive is revived and you get on some real biggins this year.

I hear ya and I read the story on your elk hunt and can't imagine how upset you must be. On the other hand, this is only one stand that I have on one property, so this guy's little poop trick has hardly sabotaged my season. I'll be out there keeping at it, but I am a little down on all of the effort that I've put in.

I mean let's face it, with all the work that most of us on this board do it's a pretty tough pill to swallow when someone is out there trying to make it harder than it already is.

Take either a pair of panty hose or a few old socks...Put a half dozen moth balls in each and hang them in his area...Ceder and holly trees are good if you don't want him to see them...He won't see any deer...

Unfortunately, that would hurt my hunting too. As I said his stand is about 100 yards from mine. I'm in a funnel when 3 hedgerows and a woodlot intersect and there is a well used creek crossing about 30 yards from me. He is in one of the hedgerows. So any deer that would use that hedgerow and skirt his stand because it is ridiculously out in the open would avoid the area altogether.

Besides, I'm not stooping to his level. It WILL be handled, and he WILL be gone, but the right way.

That is a huge bummer Bry.
Every now and then I think we all get a “why do we bother” moment. When talk of poachers, slobs, dogs, inconsiderate people & other things build up to dampen your spirits. Just take a deep breath, regroup & push on.

Your story reminds me of one of the gated roads we hunted in Idaho. Someone decided to take not 1 but 2 dumps in front of this gated road. Right in the tire tracks so that you’d pretty much run them over….unless you have a nice big Dodge that straddled them. What kind of slob idiots are out there?

Growing up I was taught to "love thy neighbor"

That being said, if I found anything that my neighbor lost or misplaced, say like a pile of shhh, I would return it to him. If he was not on stand when I got there, I'd just leave it on the seat to make sure he doesn't miss it.

I don't care who you are, that is funny.

Well obviously the guy thinks if he craps under your stand the deer will shy away from it. The only mature thing to do would be to coat the steps and rungs of his ladder stand with a good supply of bodily deposits. [8D][8D] OH, and don't forget to put a little on his seat too. LOL The poop he left behind will have little effect on the deer really. It'll be all rained out or deodorized by Saturday. He's obviously trying to divert them abit. Yessir, a little pay back is fun sometimes.
