It is nice....and I do not have an issue particularly with the hunters as a whole rather the issue with some people not going the extra step and calling so I can help them retrieve their animal, and just leaving them to rot. I could care less if the deer shot from their side of the fence came off my place. Shooting over the wire is however not acceptable. The unrecovered half eaten doe I found would have died in his pasture if he had placed the feeder in the pasture rather than on the fence. She only made it 30 yards. His blind is 75 yards from the feeder. He is shooting a scoped rifle. There should be no excuse for poor shooting at that range.

Not one thing wrong with this!

I'd risk making the call for help and being told "no" instead of just walking off and wasting the deer. Sometimes even the "good" shots don't bring one down immediately but if one is going to hunt on the fence, it's probably a good idea to have the ducks in a row before popping a cap.

I think I would rather have the stand on the fence line and the feeder 75 yards out in the pasture. It amazes me people will lease places with little to no cover on it expecting to draw them off the property beside it. Makes no sense to me. I have passed on several places like this.

Shooting across fences is illegal, but hunting anywhere or setting up anywhere on your own land is legal. They always say the grass is greener on the other side and that's why it's done. They know what's on their land but not yours. Only way to solve is reach deep and put up high fence.

The good news for your slob is that if he shoots you while you are walking around it sounds like it will not be a fatal wound.

I was at my ranch over Thanksgiving and observed first hand just how (at least my fenceline hunter) is such a slob.

I noticed last year the blind tucked under an oak tree, and then the feeder twio feet from my fence with a game camera attached to my line post. This year would be no different. I have a nice perch on the hillside 200' above the valley that I can see around 300 acres including the fencline my sloppy neighbor hunter utilizes. Saturday morning I hear the shot, and the impact followed by the follow up shot and no noticable impact. I watch with my spotter as he exits his blind and goes to the feeder. I see no deer on the ground. I watch to see if he crosses the fence, and he does not. He then goes back to his blind grabs something from the blind and walks to his truck rifle on his shoulder empty handed and leaves. I figure maybe he is going to get help or something. He does not return after 40 minutes. I get in the jeep with my son, and grab the dog, and head to the fence line and immediately find blood on my side of the fence. We dont find the deer, but do find a deer laying in the dich that has beend eaten to the bone by coyotes that had obviously been shot some time recent. The hide had been removed and was some 30 yards from the remnants of the spine. What does a fenceline hunter expect when he shoots a deer? Does it seem plausible that when he doesn't drop it in its tracks that the deer will run anywhere but back where it came from? This is two for two from this guy. For crying out loud move the stupid feeder into the pasture and away from the damned fence and be sure you anchor the animal you freaking slob. I intend to call the neighbor and let him know his lease hunter is slob hunter that has no respect for the wildlife he hunts. The warden has been informed, and had I found the second animal the hunter would have heard from him. There are no less than 3 fenceline hunters on adjoining properties. Owning 1200 acres one would think you might not have to worry about walking around and not at some point being shot at. That is not the case, and regardless of what some think on here there is no case where this set up should be considered safe, ethical, moral or acceptable. Get some manners!

so your advice is turn in hunters like this
