he needs 10 acres according to tpwd depending on county... maybe print this out and drop in his mailbox
maybe read it first:
hunt in a subdivision on lots 10 acres or less in an unincorporated area of a county if the commissioners court, by order, prohibits the discharge of a firearm or the use of archery equipment in such subdivisions. (Contact local county clerk and ask about §235.022, Local Government Code.)
I told my neighbor anytime he needs to cross my fence to do so, no need to call me.
Hell if he just wants to walk in a bigger circle go for it.
He has a feeder and ladder stand about 20 yds from our fence. also told him that if he was going to be hunting on a particular day let me know and I'd keep the kids out of the back part of the property so as to not disturb his hunt.
Wow, some of you guys crack me up. I never said I was going to do anything or expect anything from the guy. I just think it would be a good idea to get to know your neighbors if you are going to be shooting deer that are "unless spined" are going to end up dying on one of your neighbors places. I hunt almost 5000 acres total and I have called every surrounding neighbor on every small "under 100 acres" place hunt to let them know Where I am hunting and asked if it would be ok to track on their property. If not I wouldn't hunt it because my chances of recovering would be pretty slim. I Posted on here to see if the majority of people do the same, but as usual just get a bunch of smart *** comments how the guy can hunt as close to my property and pretty much do what he wants after the deer runs over and dies in my or my neighbors yard. What if the neighbor is an anti hunter that would never let you step foot on his place, you just shot a deer that will die for no reason or you just don't care and would probably trespass anyway.
Also never said anything was wrong with him having a feeder or decoy next to my property line or that I care if he hunts his property. The point is, that in a patch of woods that's maybe 30x50ft. That actually is in a point and my property is on both sides of the point. The whole issue is that the guy has a lot higher probability that the deer will die somewhere else and I personally wouldn't hunt it without knowing ahead of time that I could get permission to recover a deer I shot.

So if he shoots a deer and it runs onto your place or the other 700 acres you have permission to hunt are you going to give him permission to recover his deer?

I would, but not asking is an assumption that Anyone would. When there is almost a 100 percent chance you have to cross a property line to recover a deer, you should double check to make sure there is a chance you can get the opportunity to recover it.

What is the problem then???
I agree with you it is pretty presumptuous that people will be nice and have hunting ethics. What does that say about the world in general??
