RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

I dont personally see anything wrong. I would do it in a heartbeat. Honest to God truth I could care less about pulling deer off my neighbors property. As long as your shooting them on your side I think its ethical. I would even put up a timed feeder so I knew when to hunt them.

RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

I think that you should do some serious scouting. Most good, no very good hunters use the movements of others as a type of fence or funnel. There's one thing you have to ask yourself. How good are you?

How about, how smart are you. You see my friend, putting together a good food plot is not a simple task. In a way it takes more dedication and effort than scouting. And as far as the fence, its just a funnel.

RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

IMO , not ethical!
My ethics go further than fair chase. If your neighbors on either side deer hunt , it's a great way to pi$$ them off.

RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

I think you should just go talk to your neighbor. If he hunts, then you have someone to hunt with and more land to do it on. You will also build not only great hunting memories but a friendship as well. If he doesn't hunt, by NOT putting up a fence that could possibly piss him off he may just let you hunt his land as well.

Either way you will be in good standing with your neighbor and that's important because sooner or later you will stick a deer and it will run on to his property. I'm not up to speed with Arkansas law but here in Illinois you cannot trespass on anothers land, not even to retrieve a dead deer without permission.

Now if he's a tree hugging lefty..........your on your own!:D

Oh GAWD thats SOOOOOOOOOOOOOO tempting to post a picture .............

RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

The way I see it its your land and you can do what ever you want.....

Like the others have said, the last thing in the world anyone needs is a pi$$ed off neighbor. Trust me on that; I've been living a family feud for the past 15 years.

Yea it's takes some work and I think Data has some ideas on that front all ready.

A far as the fence goes, in this situation I think a natural one is better, funnel that is. A fence between neighbors, unless mutually agreed to, is more than just a funnel or better said may funnel more than game into your life.

Go ahead, make our day.:D

There's no doubt that your are tecno enough to do it. I really enjoyed the "Master of Disguise" one

RE: how "ethical" is this ?
 

Yes, but brush piles and trees are less likely to tip off the bunny huggers and create tension with the neighbors.

If datamax spent half as much time scouting and hunting as he does trying to stir up controversy and posting smart a$$ remarks he'd probably own the P&Y club.;)
