Neighbor situation. (What to do)

[gjs4]

To answer the "why the hell would you ride that out......" on the midwest piece- it was because we had just started building and signed solar contract (which is another discussion itself, and be careful be judgy with this...theres a bunch to it) that pays really well. Cabins are done....evaluating what we are doing....as in "where to 1031 to". Ironically their dam dogs were in the yard again today.

The youngest kid is a has senior so moving from here is approaching a reality

The family farm is the mess it is.

My fear is no matter where i go i will just find the next idiot out there

I think you would have a hard time finding a situation quite like yours!

The pit-bull sanctuary for dangerous dogs is almost unbelievable. I'd be armed every time I left the house if I had a neighbor like that.

And I live in NY- over regulation nation (cant even buy gore text- sitka, FL camo). This attorney, who lost his bar once after assaulting a client on a drug binge but has got it restored, somehow gets these dogs slated for destruction and they lose their Ag&Markets titling when brought to NY. He has his law office, sanctuary and residence in a what was a $700k log cabin on 50 ac (where the average homes is sub 200k). While he is grandfathered from the new laws coming with like an amortization, he has spent a ton of bucks on new candidate fund raisers to get the current board tossed prior to passing a law that would require him to pay some bs fine if there is more than a half hour of barking a day, and to fence any property with a NY judge determined dangerous dog and that he could not let them run free or off his property (which they do all the time now). Its insane. Like I said; its my superpower....i do anything just to be left peacefully to enjoy my properties.

My buddy owns a 40 acre parcel slap in the middle of 3k of timber company land. That land is leased at a high dollar to a hunting club.

Those boys get so worked up at my friends hunting on his 40. But his family has owned that parcel since before the timber company existed, and way before the hunting club.

That timber company doesn’t allow baiting, but it’s perfectly legal to bait in this state. My friend kills booners over corn on his 40. Again it makes the club furious.

I secretly love it. I feel the landowner has more right to be there than the leased hunters.

I’ve seen more than once where the big land owner puts a high fence all the way around the small parcel, completely cutting them off and making the parcel worthless. I’d be careful poking the bear!

Yep…

 

[Mortenson]

Ya think a timber company is gonna play that game? I suppose if the renters pay enough they will.

I think there is a 0.001% chance a timber company puts up a fence. They have nothing to gain and don’t want to mess with a potential lawsuit.

 

[omicron1792]

Yeah. Timber company could give two shits. They would kick the hunters off in a heartbeat. Such a small piece of their pie.

 

[Howboutthemdawgs]

In that scenario, yeah the timber company isn’t doing that but in a different one, that’s an absolutely plausible outcome.

Bill Buspice from Wildgame Nation in Louisiana did that to a couple neighbors.
Then he ended up getting busted for poaching elk in WY.
Karma

Man o man …..I thought bickering about irrigation water was a bad deal.

I got great neighbors…..they just might pinch water & not spray weeds. Their cows might get through the fence. That’s it.

But if I’m in dire straits ; several will help me out.

All I got to offer is it’s my belief mules & bigger donkeys take great delight in running dogs…..some even will kill them.

Merry Christmas

The picture is my wife and our animal’s packing this years buck that died on the neighbor’s land.

I doubt many get that privilege. I am grateful.

This is why I spent many years looking for the right property. I wanted land with privacy, limited access, deer of course, low pressure, and limited neighbors. While I may not have the highest deer density or potential, every other box was checked. You will never be able to control neighbors to do what YOU want without bad blood. They have their expectations and you have yours. If he shoots too close to the other neighbors houses ……. Stay out of it! If he shoots onto others legally posted land ….. Stay out of it! That is for the neighbors affected to deal with. You will never be able to control what happens to deer that are not on your property. The best you can do is to try and create habitat that will keep them on yours. If that scenario is not possible, I would be looking for a new piece of ground.

There is a key fact here many, including myself, have missed.: "limited neighbors". The less- the better your odds. An aspect that has shown itself in other threads is everything can change- even if you only have one neighbor, someone new change the chemistry of the area (for the better or worse) in an instant. Maybe its the nice kiddo next door decides to get a dirtbike, cut & sell firewood, get a disobedient hound. Nothing is forever or static.

The comment on stay out of other neighbor issues is solid, but it could be ignorant too. If there is a neighborhood bully - do your research but be being a good human matters on so many level.....especially when Tommy Trespasser decides to make your place a target. We can agree to disagree but theres a deadly line here...do you ignore someone yelling for help-rape-fire.....or a neighbor that has been amazing and complaining about the neighbor causing them grief?

Oh I understand how things can change instantly with regard to neighbors. Thru property choice and a variety of circumstances, I only have one neighbor along my south property line. When I purchased the land, the land owners to the south were a great family and wonderful neighbors. 5 years later, the property changed hands to a family of pompous assed self entitled folks that thought they could do what they wanted on everyone’s land. That attitude was quickly quashed by a rural community that sticks together. They quickly realized that they only own what they own, and my land is not part of that. We may not be on each other’s Christmas list, but boundaries are respected.

As far as the other local land owners go, I would help any of them with whatever I can, but I will not get involved in squabbles between them unless it directly affects me. Getting between neighbors is a good way to end friendships with all of them.
