Sometimes I wonder
 

[:@]Why I try so hard to be successful at deer hunting, somebody always screws me up in the end. This afternoon I was hanging a stand and decide to walk into the woods and look for a better tree, what do I see not 10 ft off of the property line, another hang on. They are set uo in the only tree in a cutdown that is grown up, and the only shot they have is into my field or property, where it is clear. I think I may just go sit on the property line and wave at him every hunt. Thanks for letting me vent, just frustrated that this is the first property I have been reall really excited about and someone else is gonna ruin it for me.[:@][:@]

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Is this your property? or doyou just have permission to hunt it? If its your's then I would make sure there are posted sign's in clear view for them to see, so there is no confusion as to where they cant hunt. GL

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

My cousins property that I can post and treat like it is my porperty. I think that will be done tomorrow afternoon.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Post it so the guy can read it while sitting in his stand, that would get to ya after a while aye'!

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

I talk to a GW one time and he said if someone has a stand on the property line, that means he hunting his land and yours other wise he wouldn't have it there in the first place.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Ive been there buddy!!! I have two ladder stands in a small patch of woods on my grandfathers property. Last year I saw the AMISH put a hang on in a tree 20yds from the property line facing my grandfathers. Out here they have a bad habit for hunting where ever they feel like!!! The kicker is they placed it between my ladder stands which are 100yds apart or so. I posted the property a couple years ago too.

Anyways I would put a no tresspassing sign right infront of him also..or maybe a couple..lol
Good luck!!!!

I now have two brght yellow posted signs with my name on them, gonna go up tomorrow.

When I used to bass fish a ton, it was the same thing. I would be fishing in a small pocket, then all of the sudden, a boat would come over and start fishing 30 yards from me....I would be like what the heck. If people would respect each other and give each other ample amounts of room in the outdoors and on the water, we would all benefit.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Exactly, what he doesnt know is that he is actually pushing deer out of that area on his way in, and I know where they are going on the clubs property. I have experienced the smae thing you have, since fishing is my main job in the summer time and early fall (charter boat).
There is an old fence that runs through the area, I think I may patch is up, except one spot by my stand and make my self a natural funnel so he can watch me kill the deer, heck I may even let him film it.:D

Brent, just go punch him in the mouth! :D[8D]

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

why do people keep asking me that?:D

I actually believe that wants us to enjoy our relationship to Him .. I see too many miserable "Christians" ....what's the draw???



and Brent, say the word ...I'll open a can [>:]:D

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

If it is the guy I think it is then he is about 5' 9" and 220, I look down to see him. There is one guy on that club that I have no problem with, and he is a great guy. I am gonna go talk with him about the stand tomorrow afternoon, if it is not his, then game on.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

I know this isn't what you want to hear, but you can't really do anything about it, since it's not on the property you have permission to. And unless you went off of your property, and sat in his stand, you have no idea where his shots are. Stuff looks way different on the ground than they do 15' up.
I know it's kind of a d*** move on his part, but from your story it sounded to me like you were going to hang a stand right off his property also.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

I have been on that property (legally) to retrieve my deer and as a guest of the club (my buddy). When you sit in the middle of an old cutover that has grown back to head high, I can assuredly say that he has no shots other than on my land. I set up about 50 yards off of the property line,and just went back there to find a better tree when I spotted the stand, I never said I was going to hunt the line. There is a difference between 10 ft. off the property line and 50 yards, at 50 yards I can not shoot anything off of their land, it has to come to mine to be in range.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

My family's property borders a hunting club also( they're land is a corn field right where i\'m talking about) we've had a box blind about 75yards off the property line so we can get a shot while the deer start to move out to feed in the corn field, then the club made a box blind 25 yards off the line on their side, we cant do anything about it but it gets to ya when they come in with a white ford taurus at 730 just after it get light.

not sure if that made sense, but i know it can be frustrating when some people don't think of others when making decisions.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Make your own sign:
POSTED NO SHOOTING ALLOWED ON THIS PROPERTY FROM ACROSS PROPERTY LINES-PERMISSION NEEDED TOTRACK WOUNDED GAME -WILL PROSACUTE ALL VIOLATORS

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Is there maybe a way you can hoist something up, on your side, in his shooting lane? Nothing big enough to scare the deer; just something to be RIGHT between his stand and anything on your property. Something like a big branch with alot of spread, so it looks natural but so he can't get a shot through it. And keep it far enough from the property line so he can't come over and move it.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Believe it or not, even if you/he shoot a deer and it runs to property you don't have permission to hunt, you still cant go get it. If the land owner said NO you cant come on my property to get a dead deer, there is nothing you can do. Now he doesn't want to get caught with that deer, then that would be a problem for him if he doesn't have a tag. If he does he better tag it. NY DEC ( Department of Environmental and Conservation )told me this a couple of years ago. Just an FYI for you all.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Different laws in NC,you can goon anyonesproperty to retrieve a downed game animal, as long asyou dont drive on it.

RE: Sometimes I wonder
 

Post this sign at the same height as his stand, right on the property line :D
