tree stand ethic question

You're within your rights to hang your stands where you please as long as they aren't on his property.

Just be sure to tell your tenant about the guy and how to reach the sheriff if he needs him.

I'm going to assume this isn't a friend, otherwise there would be no issue -- you would have already combined resources.

I would want to be 75-100 yards from the fence and I wouldn't care if I was cutting off deer or not. In fact, cutting them off is exactly one of my objectives when I'm scouting for a site location.  I want to be away from the line so a deer I hit well has little chance of making it to the neighbor's property.

I would also try to work out a "trade" with the neighbor that he also hunt back from the line so deer have little chance of making it to you if hit well.  Both should allow each other to recover (without killing gear) deer on the other's property with the offer that both owners be on the trail.

It's your property, and it's not your fault if the deer come by you while heading in his direction. Got nothing to do with ethics. Got everything to do with good stand placement.

Hang a stand where he can see you hunting from his property and give him the finger or hang a sign in the tree and really get him goin'...j/k.  It's your land; your neighbor's off his rocker for even bringing it up.  I wouldn't even give it a second thought.

I hunt a small piece of land and I am forced to be near the boundries.  I have good neighbors but my rule of thumb has been I stay on my property and my arrow flies on my property.  That is all I can control.  Sometimes my neighbors do other activities that disrupt my hunting but I don't say anything.  They have zero intentions of messing me up but either way it is their property and they have every right to do as they please.  I would say the same applies here.

I sold my Land over stuff like this.But the difference was I was shot at about eight times .Threatened three other times ,And I just did not feel safe and my wife not feeling safe.

Poachers and meth heads,You can never trust them or believe  them .So it's sold.

It made me sour on warning to buy another piece of land.

It's back to public land for me ,At least I know what to expect their.

But I agree with the post on here ,It's your land.  You should be able to do with what you want with it, and not have to answer to anyone else.

That was quite a lot of information and some certainly got me laughing.  I used to be one to handle things with out thinking and that leads to a very crappy example for my kids.  My neighbor to the east is all about entitlement and I could give a crap about his wants, but I want to do the right thing for hunting in general.  I have several out of sight locations to give to my tenant that I also have shared with my very good neighbor to my west.  We should all be like Tom and I am sure most hunters are.  Nothing made me happier than him getting a very nice buck at the back of my place, if the situation were reverse I am sure he would feel the same.  In the interest of peace I will stay out of sight while having stands at the best ambush spots.  While out in Wyoming I do not want my tenant putting up with avoidable grief, but I also want him to enjoy his time in the woods.  Thank you for all the replies and good humor, Joe

BTW, I'd hang a well hidden camera close to your stand site if you remove it and see if he comes onto your property when you're gone...

Great suggestion, I think I might just have to try that and I will be having my bud Tom keeping an eye out.  I think part of the issue is these guys had free range (not Official) while this place was in probate before I bought the place and felt they should be able to continue, I paid for mine and they paid for theirs, Joe
