Cowdog, as far as we know the land owner is the hunter. I think I have the GW's number I just didnt want to have to call. Problem is my family just bought our place and this guy has probably been hunting this spot for years. Im going to try to be polite about this but we will see how it goes.

Honestly the mature way of dealing with this is to get in contact with him and voice your concerns. He may see eye to eye with you on the subject.


Now if he turns out to be a major DB, then like others said place a boxstand on your side of the fenceline facing away from his, and inline with his shot. If he cant see in your blind he would have to be crazy to take the shot not knowing if you were in there or not LOL.

Every morning, go out early and put a cassette player in the weeds playing a continous loop of Old MacDonald Had a Farm. At least he'll have something to tap his feet to. If he shoots it or turns it off, you got him.

You could have Leonardo build a 20' berm along that fenceline.lol

You can do this if you want a ticket. It is called hunter harassment and the GW will write the ticket before he even listens to why you did it.

Either way just man up and talk to the guy. So many issues, problems and such would be handled if people just grew a pair and talked it out.

I doubt if said land owner where to do this there would be little the GW could do. Most counties in Texas do not have a sound ordinance.
If all else fails make that fence line your gut pile dump.

I am telling you legally you will get a ticket for hunter harassment. Taken directly out of tpwd booklet:

• Harassment of Hunters, Trappers, or Anglers (Sportsmen’s Rights Act – TPWD Code, §62.0125)
is punishable by a fine of $200 to $2,000 and/or 180 days in jail.

Please look it up in more detail.

I didn't read anything about restriction on one's own land.

Just talk to him. I have a feeder set up on a fence line bordering the neibor. I only bow hunt and the ground around there is almost solid rock. Just talk to him and let him know your concerns. It has nothing to do with "stealing someones deer." Look at it as another feeder you don't have to take care of that will help keep the deer in your area for better management.
