Yep.

My hunting property is 46 acres and my neighbor's to my west is even smaller. It would be impossible for him to not hunt within 200 yards of a fence. For me, I could hunt a triangle smaller than 20 yards on a side if 200 yards was a rule.

Fence line stands are always annoying and uncalled for, and your right, it should be able to be rectified with a little communication and asking. However, just curious, could this post be construed to fall against the Sportsman's Rights Act?

Trust me, the whole Sportman's Rights Act is very hard to prove unless you have video proof. Bear with me, this is a long story. Hunted in New Ulm for over 20 years and my dad hunted this same property since he was a kid. Great hunting. Two of the three neighbors are extremely anti-hunting. Opening morning one of them hires a crew to clean her pipe fencing. The other one shoots her .22, starts the chain-saw, drives by honking at the deer, walks down the fence lines hollering and yelling to get the F*** out and noone wants you hear (my land lol). And guess what. The game warden came to stand 6 years in a row opening morning. 6 years!!!!!!! I was livid. I told them that the crazy neighbor was the one who was nuts and breaking the law. Finally I called the game warden on her for shooting across the property lines. Never showed. Called sheriffs office and game wardens and asked why noone had responded to my calls. They laughed at me. Filed a complaint. They showed up the next time, saw her shooting her .22 out of her truck on the highway. Big ticket. They finally believed me. Finally. Same stuff still happens, but not shooting off the highway. Game wardens said they cant do anything unless I get it on camera. Its frustrating to say to least and the main reason I bought land in the hill country.

I can see being mad about cutting your fence. But I think it is ridiculous to get mad about them putting stands on the fence line....it is their land. If they want to put stands on the fence line that is their right, just as much as it is your right to do the same thing or build a high fence.

I am still going to have to mull over this notion that a person hunting on his own land is somehow doing somebody wrong, LOL. If you want a bigger barrier from your neighbors, build it yourself, but hunting their own land is proper.

So did construction start this morning?

Did someone on this post really say they had 3 stands and feeders on 50 acres???

And people wonder why so many high fences are around???

i love Texas, but honestly hunters in Texas and landowners here in general are stuck up and treat their land like a virgin daughter, the only way in is to marry one of the family.

You ain't marrying my daughter!
