Okay, I am still on the spinner feeders and it is morning. I really don’t care when my neighbors or people nearby get a big buck. I really don’t care if it is one that spent 75% of his life on me. The funny thing is they think I care, and I don’t. I am happy for them if they do it legally. Generally speaking, I have single handedly changed hunting and management in my area. 15 years ago they all drove deer all day every day. There were not food plots no nothing. After about 7-10 years of us killing the biggest bucks they had ever seen and more of them than they had ever killed, they came around to our way of thinking. No one drives anymore, most every farm has foodplots. The only downside is they have stopped shooting does for all intensive purposes and they don’t appreciate how important their “if it is brown it is down” strategy helped with does. I have one land owner that has aged out so to speak and he lets a less than respectable distant relative run his place so there are lots of hunters, and another neighbor has aged out and his grandchildren run things. Their ways seems to be to put a spin feeder every 100 yards and if I measured correctly they are all 2.25 inches away from the property line. It drives me nuts. If they would simply put them 50 yards back I really would not care. I could go talk to them, but really in the grand scheme they are not bad neighbors and for now I will let it go because they are on their property. I thought about hanging a stand over top of every one, but haven’t done that. Corn is my offense my corn and bean hunting plots are centered in my property and I have had them for years (except those 2) and they will suck the deer away from the spinner children.
