hunts_with_stick
5 year old buck +
So I have this neighbor who just moved in next to me. Owns 2 acres. I have a path mowed around my field. He came over while I was mowing and we spoke a little bit. He is super excited to hunt his property and keeps telling me if I have a deer go on his property go ahead and get it. I told him the same. There is very little to no chance any deer will end up on his property (that I shoot). Anyway, next thing I know he mows a path from his yard to my path. He has come over a few other times to talk (always while I am out working) He has hinted at (but hasn't come out and asked to hunt mine) and I basically imply no, just me hunting my property with possibly buddy or my young sons. I was out planting some apple trees and I hear him cutting his grass. next thing I know he comes down in in tractor to give me a jar of canned banana peppers. He talks for a little bit wants to know when I will be hunting - just so he has an idea in case it messes with his(I only own 12)) and then leaves. I did tell him I am going to spray the path that goes along the road and down past his house with killer and then will plant some acorns and hickory nuts along there in the spring. Anyway, to make a long story longer, I think I am no longer going to mow that upper part to try and discourage him from walking down every time (or most times) I am at my property. He says he walks out just to my path to look down to make sure no one is messing with my shed/trespassing/whatnot. I do think he tries to keep an eye out. The thing that sucks about that, is I shouldn't have to do that. it is my property.
I don't want to mean, he seems like a nice enough guy (and we think alike for the most part), but I really don't want to talk with him every time I am there. I like being alone. I have a neighbor on the other side who is an awesome guy but I I don't even talk with him much, and he has only swung by once in a great while. I told my wife I wonder if I should get a surveyor out and survey just the two sides and down about 100 or so yards and then maybe put some sort of fence up along the road and partly down the side where his property is and just tell him it is to keep people from driving onto my property. (she thought not a good idea) He is probably in his late 50's, I am fairly positive he won't trespass. (I also told him I cameras all over) - and Maybe I should put a couple where I can monitor the path to make sure he doesn't.
Any other thoughts? This is in OH btw.
