It does not matter if the sounds eminate from private property. If they are intended to harass a hunter - it is a violation. Call your local CO and inform him or her of what is going on. They may give you a phone number to cantact them if it happens again when you are out and it is happening so that they might get by there.
And yes keep us posted.

i have seen coyotes walk right through a field of deer, lol not a field but 3 lol, a field to me hehe, the deer just looked at it and the coyote kept going, neither missed a beat...i see turkeys with deer all the time, like 1-5 deer with 20+ turkeys, and when i scout i take a turkey call and crack it now and then..
there-for i think the deer will be used to the sounds after awhile anyways. they have probably walked up to the tape player or whatever it is, just to check it out.
law works as far as that goes.
and well your buddies rollin in on ya, well what are buddies for lol
and i have seen deer run out right behind 4 wheelers going by. have takin a buck that way.
dont be discouraged, keep on keepin on and gl

Few years back i was hunting the back edge of my uncles property that bordered a nutjob anti hunters property.... he would watch the hedge rows for me to go in and then charge up the hill in his 4 wheeler and patrole the field edge for hours .Early that morning i hung an old orange vest in a tree about 50 yards in the woods and walked the rest of the way up the hill ....few hundred yards ..to my stand and wated.... as the nut job came rushing up the hill he pushed all the deer off the field past my stand allowing me to tag a doe and a dandy buck with my shotgun.Sent him a thank you note explaining to him how his actions helped me out...

To me your problem is proving harasment. Perhaps they are simply playing the recording to keep the deer out of their garden. I'm sure they're just being @$$holes, but your gonna have a heck of a time proving harasment.

They have no garden and the sounds were emminating from the state land. My friend had told me that the neighbor even told her that he doesnt like people hunting the state land behind their property and will do what he needs to do to deter it. I have emailed a friend of mine who is a CO and am awaiting his response. Honestly, I dont want confrontation, just my right to be able to hunt on a given piece of land with the actual chance of seeing a deer. Maybe if I get one though, I will leave the testicles in his driveway!! couldnt prove it was me!
