Late last season I scouted a great spot for one of my clients that was about 300yds off our property line fence. It was in an area that's grown up a lot in recent years and where not many people go, because the road is so overgrown. When I went back there I discovered that the neighbors (lease hunters) had a feeder 35 yards off the fenceline and a box blind facing it. Since we've got so much property it really didn't bother me much - I'm pretty easy going and feel like there are plenty of deer for everybody. HOWEVER, the second night I was scouting that stand I heard a vehicle driving, at prime time, right by where is parked my truck, on that fenceline. I could hear guys talking but not what they were saying. It was still pretty obvious they were not happy, though. I didn't think too much of it and kept watching deer until dark. When I hiked back to my truck, and headed out, I realized that these jokers had removed my flagging tape markers that I had put on the fence, to remind me where to park and where the trail started.
That's where the line was crossed for me. I feel like we'd been as generous as anyone could expect. I kept my guy WAY off the fenceline. Wellllll, payback is a $itch. I'm clearing that fenceline like a sendero and I'm not only going to place two heavy feeding feeders strategically to keep the deer on our side, we're going to start feeding that road daily. This will insure that our hunters have a new area to hunt (that holds some big deer) and that these jokers get to enjoy some serious pressure. I hope they learn a lesson about overstepping boundaries. Don't act like a jackbutt to your neighbors - especially when they have the means to retaliate.
Here's a shot of part of the road that was almost undriveable yesterday.
