Try and talk to him first...good luck
Set up a camera on the fence line. If he shots a deer and cross into your property without your permission...you got him.

Thanks for all the comments guys. Three days, two voicemails left, plus one email I sent, and no reply. We'll see what happens. Some good suggestions though.
I'm a pretty agreeable guy. Of course, I have to actually speak with someone to be agreeable. I'd likely give them permission to come onto my place and look for a downed animal or even give permission to shot a coyote or hog on my side of the fence. I've given such permission to other neighbors.
Of course, before I gave that permission I'd like them to move their feeders so that they're not shooting directly at me. I don't think that's too much to ask.

If someone puts their stand on the fenceline looking back into their property, I would have to keep my mouth shut because they can control where their bullet or arrow goes, back into their own property. I might not like it, but at least it is safe. If their blind is off of the fenceline and their feeder is on the fenceline and they will be shooting into my property, then we would have to have a talk.

I hunt about 100yards from our fence line but the property next to us hasnt been hunted in years. Last year the other property owner lease out the property next to ours. Well these people parked their truck right next to the fence. I didnt say anything at first because they have the right to hunt all of their property and park wherever they wish. It wasnt until my dad caught them posted up with decoys, turkey hunting under my feeder until something was said. Needless to say, they will not be parking there this year and i have permission to shoot a deer on their side of the fence.

Easy Problem to solve:
-Drive up and down fence line during prime hunting times
-put out animal stopper (Deer Stopper) Pick it up at your local garden center/feed store
-Put up alarm devices to scare deer off
I guarantee if you make this individuals hunting total hell, he will move his stand and feeder!

I have a lease with 4 feeders on it and on top of the hill, where it is rocky, I have a feeder where the fence around it is connected to the property fence!!! It is on my side!! Your saying I cant hunt ALL of my lease because it is your fence line, and your deer??? COME ON!!!!!

99% of the time when feeders are put on the fenceline they are trying to attract deer from the neighboring property because they have either overhunted their own or stacked too many hunters on it.
Can anyone say high fence???

Feeders in West Texas often are toppled over by the bad west Texas wind!!! We get those winds here in Bandera too. We had a neighbor a few years ago leased his place and the hunters put the feeder right on the fence and the stand facing toward the feeder. He had brush behind him so the only place he could shoot would be toward us. Amazing what the wind will do to a feeder when it blows it over. After two wind storms he must have figured it might be wise to move it to a place where the wind might not blow.

Same thing happened to a place I subleased this summer. The head guy calls me beginning of september all ticked off wondering why their feeders were stolen. I didn't understand until he explained to me where the had placed them... thats right THEY were the ones hunting the fenceline & the neighbor wasn't having any of that and just took the feeders. I didn't know what to tell him, thought they had more sense than that, but they didn't even realize it was a no no to do that. So the moral of the story is, do not hunt your neighbors fenceling or your feeder might walk off.

PSE: Read all of my posts in the this thread and maybe you'll understand why I called it "my fenceline". You'll also see that I don't call them "my deer".
I've now sent two emails and left two voicemails with the property owner, but haven't heard back. I'll give it more time, but ultimately I'll just get the Gamewarden involved.
I definitely won't break any laws or vandalize anything. I've had it done to me too many times to turn around and do so to someone else.

Kennylee glad your not gonna resort to stealing or knocking down feeders. Get the warden involved. I would not not steal somebodys feeder just because it was close to my fenceline and some of these guys seem to forget its THEIR fence line too.

The Gamewarden will tell you there is nothing he can do, until the law has been broken, and then and only then will he act.
They can line up all their feeders and blinds on your fence line and there is nothing you can do about it because it's not your property and the deer don't belong to you.
Vandalizing or stealing from their property, then you are the one in the wrong, and need to be prosecuted.
Also there is a law against interfering with someone's hunt, so deliberate actions to scare the deer is also not legal, and they can also call the GW on you.
High fences are one solution, and talking to them may be another, but if they don't want to listen then it's just something you'll have to live with!

Once i learned that i didn't "NEED" to kill something, and that if i did kill something all the fun stopped and work began, i was a much better hunter.

If I was your neighbor then this statement might be true..good fences make good neighbors and bad neighbors make high fences. Man if you got enough land to have 4 feeders move off of the fencelines and be a good neighbor. I have never had a problem with someone hunting their property or the deer on it. Your neighbors can not read your mind and know that you are not going to shoot on his property. What do you do when the deer you just shot jumps the fence into the neighbors? Trespass to get it back? Techincally it is half of his fence if he shared the cost of building it and it is on the property line. Try taking down that fence and see how quickly you learn whose fence it is. Both people own up to the fence if it is on the boundry lines. Now if it is on his property then he owns it.

Been there done that. Attempted the polite conversation, was told to go screw myself. Called the game warden, he listened, came out and looked the stand over. Said he would go talk to the property owner, but nothing else he could do if he didn't have proof of a bullet crossing the property line.
Final Solution: Built a little junky ground level box blind and placed it directly in the line of fire, right on the fence on my side, immediately behind the feeder. Figured I would have proof of the bullet crossing the property line soon enough... Neighbor finally seemed to understand and moved his feeder and blind - put his blind directly on the fence facing in towards his feeder. I was fine w/ that, problem solved.

I guess what I am saying is just TALK TO THE GUY!!!!!!!!!!!! IT is NOT YOUR fence line and YOUR deer!!! Using the all caps is totally unnecessary. He has a good point, especially regarding safety. Just because your arrow won't go as far as a bullt doesn't make you right. I bow hunt also, but if a gun hunter did that to me, I would feel the same way. I expect you would too. Do you get along with your hunting buddies since you seem to scream so much??

The first thing I would do is change my attitude.....and I dont mean that in a bad way, but yall are kind of partners now. If what he is doing is legal than yall are going to have to adjust to each other. Talk it out, work it out are yall are going to have a very unproductive deer season and probably end up doing something you shouldn't.

Of course - be neighborly, try all "diplomatic", politically correct and COURTEOUS routes to a mutually agreeable solution first.
Then: 1) Park your truck on your property where you always have
2)Relieve yourself near the truck, but not across the property line (free deer deterent).
3) Last but not least (and I wish I had taken pictures because I really saw a guy do this) drag in the entire tin roof of an old chicken house and prop it up with 2x4's on your property near the line! I think it worked because the "other" guy quit leasing the 10 acre open field and moved elsewhere.
There problem solved .... good luck!

Human urine is barely a deer deterent, if at all. Maybe the first time they encounter it?
I pee out of my blind all the dang time, and I've had deer walk right over it more times than I can remember. Didn't bother them in the least.

The reason the feeder is there is because of how rocky it is. They are just as welcome to hunt my feeder on the fenceline as I am.
