Since you are leasing, the first thing I would do is talk to your landowner and see if they will talk to the other landowner. To me that talk should be landowner to landowner. If your landowner says no then you can have the conversation assuming your landowner doesn't tell you not to which is possible.
The talk should be 100% about safety. I didn't see you mention if you have a stand near by. If you do, I would make sure whoever talks to the neighbor lets them know exactly where your stand is so they know which direction not to shoot, assuming they care. If they don't care you really have 2 options. Hunt and hope for the best or move your set up.
I would definitely try being civil first and would only involve the game warden as a last resort. For a last resort, this would come after setting up a faux stand as others have mentioned.
I am dealing with something similar. I was building a bow blind in September and noticed somebody on the property I hunt (my cousin lets me hunt there for free and he lives out there), or at least I thought it was our property. I went over and talked to them and they said "I think we are on our property but if not let us know and we can move the feeder over". I told them I didn't know for sure but told them my blind was just "past that tree" so they would know where i was. I told my cousin and he went and looked. Turns out they are on their property (there are no fences as this is in Colorado river floodplain) but the property is only 240' wide. It is what it is and not much I can do about it. But, if I hunt that stand, I will be parking right by the feeder to ensure my safety...

Originally posted by Bigcoyote View PostYesterday I discovered the neighbor on my lease has a feeder about 20 yds from our bordering fenceline…and a stand about 80 yds out. Looks like a small farm with a house nearby. Seems like bullets would be going over the property line. What’s my remedy here? Talk to the guy? Call GW?
This happened to me early this summer. My neighbor saw my feeder and blind set up. He was correct if I gun hunted I'd be shooting his way. Didn't even cross my mind as it's a bow set up for us.
But I simply moved the feeder. He could have stressed out, called the GW, made a big deal on TBH etc... But a simple note and then I called him and all good.

Keeps him safe because you shouldn't be shooting over the fence and less of a chance his bullet will leave his property.
Talk is the best method first, then game warden if you can not work it out.
If you don't know your neighbor, you need to anyhow.
Hope this helps. Good luck and keep us updated.
