not to throw a huge wrench into things but I have several stands on the property line. My property is 60 acres and I try to keep as much sanctuary as possible.
Booner, I do the same. Basically all my stands are on the lines, from 5' to 50 yards. It's 80 acres. When we first bought this and put stands up, they were essentially in the middle 200 yards. It runs 400 yards by 800. We'd see deer but blew most out on way to stands. One just couldn't get to stands without broadcasting to some deer we were coming, they then let all the others know. As soon as I made the decision to move the stands/blinds to the edges we began killing bucks we were wanting to kill. Does weren't a problem in later season from the interior stands but bucks were scarce. Trail cams said they were there but not when we went to stands.
The neighboring land is leased by an "outfitter". The past couple years he has contacted me the day/night before the rifle season opens about property line concerns and last year the opening morning he sent me a pic of buck that was on his side of the fence and said this was unsafe as my blind made it unsafe from his blind. At that location my land is the backstop. That situation plays out across this country. It's only unsafe if a shooter doesn't follow the common sense backstop rule.
He knows we don't trespass nor shoot over the fence, he said he has no concerns about that. A hunter from their side did trespass on our hunting but only done so on one occasion, early on in their ownership of the lease. We have a cordial but stressed at best relationship.
In a recent communication, which probably will be our last I expressed my displeasure of his complaining about my stand location(s). I wanted to get it out and in conversation way prior to the day before rifle season opened. I explained mine is an 80 and we'd blow everything out if we hunted the interior. The lease is 375 acres and he has a few more options to set blinds without fear of blowing deer out. He staunchly disagreed.
In his response he called me unethical and he doesn't like hunters looking out our blinds watching deer on his side of the fence while he is in his stand. The blinds on the property lines that touch his lease our commercially made and have windows on all side. It's about 100 yards away. My blinds are located where I had ladder stands. All my stands were in place prior to them leasing this property. No lanes or trees were altered to see better or shoot onto the lease property. Lanes are cut on my property to shoot deer that are taking routes to or from the two properties and routes further into my property. No deer is shot at out of my blinds that is not on my property.
When he first leased this land we met and agreed to contact each other if a deer was hit and went across property lines to obtain permission to retrieve it. In the past ten seasons he has asked at least 3 times and I have always said yes. We haven't had to ask once. Last year when we ran into him at store he said they hit one that morning and tracked it to the fence line and thought it went into ours. He didn't ask and I didn't offer. There were people in the stands at the time but if he would have asked I would have let him go in that night. Temps were fine, spoilage wouldn't have be an issue.
The deer we have shot from these line stands have either dropped where they were shot or they run further into our land.
If a person is shooting over the lines that is a huge issue but those of us who are hunting our land and only our land, no problem. That's my take. No one is going to tell me when I can and where I can hunt my property, within the framework of the game laws.
