I am confused by the description of the layout.

Are they shooting down a fenceline on their side of the fence or are the set up where if they shoot there is a high potential for the bullet to cross the fenceline?

If it is the first scenario - you are getting pissed off for somebody doing something perfectly legal on their won land simply because you dont like it.

If its the second, they are *******s.

---

They are set up to shoot directly across the fenceline if they miss or have a pass through. Guaranteed to cross property line. If I had known they were in the blind before peeking from far away with a spotting scope, they'd have been able to see me flipping them the bird without binoculars on the fence line. Our main camp is probably 1500 yards downrange too.

What keeps you from just pointing that fact out and asking them to change the setup.

In the end it comes down to it is his property and he can use it as he sees fit. Until he breaks the law there isn't anything realistically you can do besides voice your concerns to him.

I completely understand why it pisses you off and is dangerous. I deal with a similar situation. The problem is that until a bullet crosses the fence he hasn't broken the law. If you park by the fence and blare gangster rap while you know he is legally hunting on his property you are now breaking the law. At best the game warden is going to tell him it is a poor idea and explain what can happen if bullets/people cross the fence. He is legally hunting as it sits.

Im not advocating hunter harassment but I can listen to my music.

You are definitely advocating hunter harassment and have blatantly said so in several posts. Just be honest.

This guy has done nothing illegal.

You may not like his setup, but nothing he has done is against the law.

But neat that your first inclination is to have the government go deal with him.

What about doing what Hunter S. Thompson did to his neighbor?

"Hunter S. Thompson's infamous neighbor feud involved terrifying his neighbor, actor John Oates, with bizarre, drunken antics, including playing loud recordings of pigs being slaughtered at maximum volume, firing guns, shining lights into windows, and leaving a bloody elk heart on his doorstep, all as part of a "gonzo" performance to mess with neighbors, though the two later became friendly and watched football together."



I'm sure he'll stop hunting with the sound of pigs being slaughtered!

When you call the GW, document everything and be sure you let him know about your plans for harassing them as well(I mean, sitting in a random spot and peacefully listening to music at full volume when you know they are present)!

If that is a raised blind, then it sounds like there is little actual chance of a bullet crossing the fence line.

I know it is upsetting, but you are also getting yourself unnecessarily riled up when there isn't an actual infringement of your property rights. Talk with them, but I wouldn't give in to childish urges that will have you potentially violating hunter harassment laws, especially after posting about it on a public forum.

And as mentioned by a couple others, these "tactics" being suggested are illegal. Seems like I see more hunter harassment violation stories over the last few years too suggesting LEOs are looking for this stuff (probably focused on anti-hunting "ptotesters" but either way).

Ill add, you now have a digital footprint on a forum discussing "tactics" which is not ideal either.

It sucks, I have been in your situation. Not sure there is much you can do unless you can prove a violation.

"I'll add, you now have a digital footprint on a forum discussing "tactics" which is not ideal either."

Ain't no snitches on the OB!

OP you are worked up over a set up that's not even that bad.

Here is our neighbor to the south, not only put their feeder (red dot) less than 10 feet from our fence, but using our boundary fence as their feeder pen putting hog panel up. Their shot is directly at the stand on the road which has been there 15 years. Told their 95 year old landowner. Mentioned it to the game warden and he said there is nothing he can do.

---

Now this is something I'd have issue with. Wow.

I think some of us, at least I am, are trying to politely tell you that the neighbor is right. It is his land, he do what he wants with it until he breaks the law. Some neighbors are good and some are bad, such is life. Based on your responses this is shaping up to be two bad neighbors fighting each other.

I would be tempted to line the fences with plywood walls on your side of the fence, and when bullet holes show up in the fence on a line from the blind to the feeder, you have your proof of their shots crossing the fenceline.

I just don't want to be accidentally shot

Then I doubt the high fence solution you're leaning toward will be the answer.

There could be neighbors and/or public and/or private roads in all directions if this is not a huge property. It can be tough to figure out and make a decision re: the best place to bait your wildlife so you can harvest them. If they shoot the other direction, are they shooting towards their own camp? Another direction, towards yours? Another direction towards a public road? Maybe they thought towards your private drive with no buildings that way was the best location for their blind and feeder? I suppose they didn't put any careful thought into their plan and didn't think it was appropriate to talk to you if they concluded this was the best thing to do and that sucks. Is this a tower blind? How tall? Seems that's one thing tower blinds are for - safety. Anyone hunting that blind is shooting downward 100yds away, with your fence another 130 yds away from that, and then your drive beyond that?
