Went out to check on feeder yesterday and saw two does.
Also as I was going to get my corn from truck and coming back I heard shots which sounded like dove hunters. about 250 to the southwest of my stand.
I went to look and noticed a tree stand 40 yards to the southwest from my feeder.
It was tough to tell how long it has been there. Tie wraps to trees looked new but there was vines and tree growth near the bottom steps of the stand.
I will be reporting this to the ranger tomorrow.Last edited by topduarte; 09-14-2016, 05:34 PM.

Got an email reply today to my voicemail I left yesterday of another hunter within 40 yards of my feeder.
My coordinates where sent in Saturday lunchtimish (August 17th) and approved on August 21st.
I have spent many hours cleaning and scouting and setting up my feeder, etc.
Basically they said I have to move due to the other hunter's coordinates were sent in before mine. There was no one setting up there other than the guy I met who is about 300 to 400 yards away on the other side of the creek.
The other hunter had set up after I did but gets his pick since he set his coordinates first.
Other thing email says is "The hunter you are referring to and yourself are 200 feet apart, given coordinates were sent correctly from the feeders. Scott approved the locations based on the idea that you two are shooting away from each other. Because there is an issue with the location, you will need to move up the tree line."
Why would I or the other hunter want to be 200 feet apart???
I emailed a respectable reply in looking into this and explaining the same things as I said above.
Hoping to hear good news tomorrow.

Hope if works out in your favor since you had your stuff up first.
Had something similar happen to me last year with someone emailing coordinates before putting up their stand. Decided it wasn't worth moving a little further away and still being within 100-200 yards of the other guy. So, I moved to the other side of the lake and why I always have a backup place or two to move to.
I'm sure the rangers have a hard time with this kind of stuff because they don't have much to go on except who sent the email first. They probably assumed you guys saw each other that morning and were fine with the placement and moved on to the next email.
