You could do one of two things.

1: Put a stand on your side of the property line, facing his stand. Then sit in it. You two could look at each other, from 10 feet away, all day long. Eventually, somebody would move

2: Dress a maniken in hunting clothes and put it in his stand. It will be funny as heck watching him yell at the dummy in the pre-dawn darkness. Video tape it!!!

I haven't ever seen a tent blind with windows on only one side.

Well I hope the stand is worth worrying about and it doesn't wind up washed away by a constant flow of tears.

Nothing more irritating than line sitters period. The stand is obviously in a good spot, if it was me, I would post signs there and then have someone sitting there next season.

So what is the distance a person can set up a stand on there own property along a property line?

Is it really a matter of distance? Or simply ethic's? I would think if a person really found it necasary to sit on the property line, the ethical thing to do would at least face there own property

You're the one that said line sitters are irritating, just wondered how far they need to be on their own property , before thay are not irritating.

I would post signs there and then have someone sitting there next season.
and then that person would be a line sitter, right? That sure would show him wouldn't it? Screw up one of your friends hunts just to show him who is boss. lol. How ethical is that?

Doesn't matter to me what way the stand is facing as long as he shoots the deer on his property, and if the wounded animal came on my property I would allow him to track it to.


Might even actually talk with the guy an exchange numbers and let him know if he was going to be sitting on that stand to call me so I wouldn't sit a stand right on top of him.

Just because it is facing your lease doesn't mean he is shooting deer on your side of the fence. If it was my property and you asked me to move it I wouldn't. But then again I would know that I wasn't shooting deer on your side of the fence. He may have it facing your lease to keep the sun from shining directly on him or is using the tree for cover if he is expecting the deer to come from behind him. And he may be a slob and shooting deer on your side of the fence.

You actually have a great advantage now. The stand is clearly on the neighbors property. Not anything wrong with that. The neighbor probably doesn't know or care you have found the stand. 300 acres is alot of area to hunt. I would use his stand to my advantage. Deer have a great sense of smell. Use the wind and his smell may actually push deer your way. Easiest approach without any conflict. Good Luck

Who is there to say that whoever is using this stand (if anyone is at all) isn't facing their own property? I set up stands so that I stand facing the tree and I am sure other people do too.

Let's face it this whole issue is silly.

Whoever owns the property can basically do whatever they want to with it as long as they aren't breaking any laws. If the guy wants to set up a makeshift shooting range he has every right to do that. If he wants to run 4wheelers, dirt bikes or a mud bog he has every right to do so. And if he wants to do any of that he doesn't have to stop when season starts. It is not his responsibility or obligation to aid, assist or benefit someone else's hunting. As long as he doesn't violate any hunter interference laws he can do what he wants.

My neighbor has stands close to the property line - and so do I.

I can't begin to describe how embarrassed and downright foolish I would feel approaching him and asking him to move them or not hunt them.
