Some internet badasses up in heeeahhh!

Its a hard thing this subject is, all perspectives are valid to some degree.

Regardless of the right or wrong, perception, or actual intention of the neighbor with the box stand, the corn feeder puts him in “checkmate”. I think if the neighbor had the proper intention he would’ve made sure the blind had a solid back facing the other property showing his intent for safety.

Putting him in “check” with the ability of an out woulda simply been another stand across the fence from it.

Not every property owner is blessed to have a perfectly square 600 + acres to hunt. Lotta folks around here like to pass judgement without all the facts. Brad's is one side of the story. Like has been pointed out numerous times in this thread, why was/is Brad planting so close to HIS line that he can see clearly over into his neighbors property? Seems like the first guy in this situation to start butting up against the property line was Brad, and his neighbors noticed and took advantage of Brad's work. That's life. Brad should have left about 50 + more yards of woods between his cultivated fields and the property line if he knew he was going to flip a lid like a child over his neighbors doing something perfectly legal. Hell, we aren't even talking about a stand on the line, it's just close. And it was Brad's choice to plant a massive food plot close enough to line where any wandering idiot on the other property could see it.

In a world where many folks private property is around the 100, 200, 300 acre range with many of them being shaped like Tennessee, some people just need to get used to the fact that there will be hunting that occurs close to property lines by default. Seems to me Brad is the one in this situation blessed with a large amount of land and he could have prevented the problem himself.

Bottom line is use your property as you want and don't bitch when other people do the same.

Brad's neighbors have a right to hunt all of their land. Brad has that same right.
There's absolutely nothing here to suggest any intentions to hunt someone else land.
Would it make you goobers feel better if the stand was placed 100 yards away from the line, and the hunters were shoot towards your property?
Personally I see it being much safer to put a stand on the line and always shoot away from the neighbor's property.

Valid point.

And that feeder was a real genius move.
Nothing in the law allows you to prevent your neighbors from using their land.
Placing a feeder within site of a neighbor's stand just makes it legal for him to hunt over your bait.

If he woulda just closed the back of the box it woulda sealed his intentions

I put a ladder 10' from the line one time but facing my field. Thinking that obviously shows the neighbor I'm not watching him. Not 2 days later a nasty note was zip tied to my ladder saying we don't hunt the line but if you want to we will. I hit shitfit mode in about 2 seconds. Dumbass left his number. I was in Texas when I called him and still think I whipped his ass through the phone. He hung up on me when I mentioned to the dumbass he had to trespass to put the note on my stand on the lease I had. Buncha idiots out there. Funny thing was when my farmer sold that farm he told us in October. We mopped it up pretty good for the asshole neighbor. I bet he thinks EHD hit after that year.

Didn''t the "shooting house" look kinda stupid to anybody else besides me? It looks like 4 2x2's with some cull pieces of decking screwed to it. In other words it doesn't look real.

The survey shows that about 80% of Aldeer are LSCB's and about 20% are neighbors someone would want to have. I am actually surprised by those results, had thought better of the Aldeer brethren.So many opinions with so little facts.
1. He ain't the little guy. They have 220 acres with a large field in the middle of their property they could plant in corn/beans if they were so inclined.
2. My field has been there for roughly 100 years and is really the only good ag land on the place. I would give my left nut to be able to put that field in in the center of the property
3.They ain't hunting the clear cut, its 8 feet high .
4. They darn sure did not block out the side that looks nowhere but onto my property.
5.Since many of you are of the opinion they have the right to do anything they want with every inch of their land then why do I not have the same right.You boys have a problem with consistency. Explain to me your reasoning, assuming you actually have the capacity to reason
6. Yes I am from Florida, can't help it, gotta make a living. Sorry. I am also the best thing the Alabama deer/turkey populations could hope for since I manage the place heavily and pull the trigger infrequently. Did not shoot a deer last year and have not shot a turkey in about 5.My Alabama hunting buddy shot two nice bucks last year and a chit pile of turkeys, so at least I am benefitting one resident of your State.He is obviously not a LSCB.
7.If you think this stuff impacts my enjoyment of hunting you are deluded. Much bigger fish to fry. I had not given this a thought in about a year until some jack ass pulled this thread out of the graveyard.Like I said first post, I have never seen them in the stand since it went up.

Man the solution here it to build a box stand ON THE LINE with two seats, one on your side one on his. Yall just hunt together. Whichever side the deer is on gets the first shot. Like Annie Oakley but with deer not skeet.

If he hunts that stand but never shoots onto your property is still a problem for you?

I mean, I like to hunt a powerline where 1200 yds away I can see onto the neighbors property. I don't shoot there; but I still watch if there are deer. Am I wrong in that scenario? I guess its just a proximity thing but if so where do you 'draw the line' on what is acceptable to you for stand placement?

If he had that window blacked out he would be all good.I don't believe there is a snowballs chance in hell he would pass on a good buck in that field.

Just hang a tubesock with a bar of soap in em every thirty yds or so... That'll fix his wagon...

HELP they guy stay legal. Go put a piece of plywood over the back window of that shooting house so he in not tempted to shoot across the line AND he cannot see the feeder.

Must be hell to manage 7 acres.

I'll take a stab at it.

Your neighbor put a shooting house on his side of the line (which is his right).

He's guilty of nothing (if and until such time as he shoots across your property line).

Your perception is he's trying to hunt your property (which is an assumption that may or may not be true).

You put up a feeder on your side of the line (which is your right), except you stated that the intent was malicious and intended to hurt or disturb your neighbors hunting.

You hung up wind chimes and CD's down your line with the intent of disturbing the wildlife on your side and his.

Your intention was to disturb, or interfere with his hunting in that area because you don't utilize that area and don't care if it's disturbed.

That falls under the guidelines of hunter harassment.

Most people here think that harassing hunters is a dick move.

Therefore you got the negative response that you got.


Behavior such as this is why houses get burned down and tires get slashed and hunting gets a black eye. It's not really difficult to understand.



What if you went in there one morning to turkey hunt and your neighbor stood on his side of the line and blew an air horn every time you called or when the turkeys started gobbling? It is the same difference.

x2 what BC said.

Every time you try to defend yourself, you just come across as more of prick who believes his right to do as he pleases with his land trumps the right of your neighbors to do the same. Give it a damn rest.
