You have to remember there is a lot of guys out there that deer hunting isn’t that big of deal. As a land owner my biggest pet peeve is a deer hunting neighbor that gripes about my livestock or my dogs barking or my making noise while they are hunting. Remember you own your property not your neighbors and some of us are trying to make a living.

As long as he’s not trespassing who are you to say where he hunts. And on the flip side by that logic YOU shouldn’t even be near the fence line.

It gets harder and harder to figure out which of your videos is the best. This one ranks right up there at the top. I help my two neighbors with planting on my nickel for the exact reasons you describe. Some think I’m nuts for doing so. But the day I helped my 79 year old neighbor track and find the biggest buck of his life was way worth. And that happened because I shared my trail can pics with him. Great video Jeff

Great video, I have 90 acres thats surrounded by a thousand acres of land thats utter chaos. I learned a long time ago not to worry about what anyone else is doing or it will drive you crazy.

Thanks Jeff, good to share in the coop to help resolve potential issues 🙂

Great video Jeff. Remember if you have a negative encounter with a neighbor it will only get Worse over time and never improve. As difficult as it may be,....try to keep treat them with the Golden Rule in mind during your discussion. You may be able to work towards a positive relationship over time. Also if they are local and you are not, remember being right doesn't necessarily mean you will get your desired outcome.

Great video . I allways feel good about watching your videos and reading the comments and seeing that while there are bad neighbors ;there's. A ton of good people out there that have respect for others and treat others like they want to be treated.they go about there business doing the right thing (Silent majority) perhaps .these are the people watching your channel.

Best one about bad neighbors, I have a friend who belongs to a club that leased ground. Until recently in PA only police could arrest someone for trespassing not the game warden. Most people would just run someone off their land because to have them arrested meant you had to quit hunting,maybe after driving for hours to get to where you hunted. On this club they came across someone who gave them lip and made threats. When they told him leave, or be arrested for trespassing he said only State police could arrest him there. My friend said your right , Pulled out his badge and said your under arrest. He said you should have seen his face.

My name is Mike, and I’ve been antler shamed ....... it was a big spike to me ....

Yep, bad neighbors everywhere. Got one of my own. All wildlife within miles is his. He trespasses, vandalizes, chases game off my property, violates game, and wounds/looses deer regularly. Sheriff is a child refusing to serve me. And DNR won't do anything unless I have indisputable proof.

I grew up with my dad saying you can't eat horns, if you get a buck you get a buck as long as there is meat in the freezer it doesn't matter. If I know a big buck is in the area I won't specifically target him till I already filled a tag. This past year for example I had already gotten 3 tags filled and was on my last day before I was able to get a nice 8 pointer. Then when someone who gets something like this is excited for even getting a nice deer or even a deer at all shows it off only for another trophy hunter to piss on his day can be disheartening. And that may be one reason why hunting is going do

The cool thing is that that trend is turning. Antler shaming was really prevalent back in the 2000s...the tide has turned tho. It goes the other way too! For example if I just wanted meat my hunt would be over the first sit on public or private land in any state I hunt...within a few hours. Instead, I like to actually "hunt". Does are easy to kill...young bucks, so if I actually want to hunt I like working all year towards the challenge of an older buck. I shoot does...I hunt mature bucks. Someone who meat hunts has to respect someone that wants to hunt hard for an elusive older buck with actually more meat. And visa versa.

Had one guy who is all ready on probation get caught tearing everything out of our hunting cabin and ran off into the woods and came back later that day and stole an ATV.

Thanks for posting this. I’m having big problems with very bad neighbors. My sister has 30 acres that she and her Husband have a small cabin, an outdoor shooting range and a shed for their atv’s on. It’s solely a fun property for the family. I take great care of the property and built all the structures. It’s not an incredible deer hunting property but through my efforts it’s been getting better every season. We now have more deer than ever and even some fairly impressive bucks but not many. It’s definitely if it’s brown is it big enough property. So our a hole neighbor has been trespassing and walking up to family members while they’re shooting or talking at the cabin. He’s asked numerous times to hunt our property with firearms and then proceeds to say he’s a convicted felon and if we let him hunt he will keep an eye on our place when we’re not there. Finally he walked up on me one day and asked again. I was nice but told him it’s private family property. The deer are limited and we don’t ride the trails for fun only to drag a deer if we have to. The trails are for stalking and exercising and it’s not cool to brag that you’re a convicted felon while asking to hunt firearms. I told him under no circumstances is he to hunt here and anyone caught here will be prosecuted. So recently i’ve been finding our trails tore the hell up and I mean badly with ruts like people have been riding all day every day. I never was able to catch them because my brother in law wouldn’t buy cameras. Finally I caught the trespasser neighbor who invited two other atv’rs to our property to ride while I came to do some scouting. I tore them a new asshole and informed them the sheriff would be serving them if I caught them again. A month later they were back and I got them on cell camera on atv’s. I talked to the sheriff and he’s in the process of serving them....he said he would inform me if/when they serve them. I spent the morning today dropping large trees to block any and all entrances to our property including a obvious trail leading from our property straight to the neighbors house. Wonder how he would feel if I turfed his yard with my atv while he was away. I’m so disgusted with scum bag thieving trespassers. I’d love to set traps with fishhooks, pitfalls and nail boards but I don’t want to injure deer and I know it’s illegal to do those things although would love to see them go running home with a treble hook stuck in their eyelid. I have heard this guy on our property in the past shooting deer with a shotgun while I was at the other side of the property. I caught him running from me one evening and he had left a pile of beer cans where he was hunting from one of my ladders. In a perfect world Id love to get righteous revenge. If I see any of these bastards poaching this season it’s gonna get ugly but legally unfortunately. We also had two very nice dirt bikes stolen from the shed a year prior. Gotta say I’m loving the moultree cellular cameras but I really hate the stress that trespassers cause by making you feel like you gotta constantly watch your back on your own property. Good thing is the sheriff know him well and seems eager to take him down when the time comes.

I have used brown it’s down guys to my advantage. They will usually be the only people who will give you a hand to drag out a big deer. They usually love hunting but are content shooting the first available animal. You let them participate in even dragging a big buck and they go nuts. I’ve had them tell me to stand back and enjoy the moment while they field dressed one of my booner bears. Here in Maine you aren’t moving a big buck a bear or a moose without help. They trophy hunters are always hunting or too jealous to help. I’ve had brown is down guys stop hunting and help me drag for half a day, take pictures and even follow me to the tagging station. They want to be part of something cool. Just something to think about. Trophy guy doesn’t want his clothes getting sweaty or bloody, doesn’t want to spook deer, needs to rest so they can hunt. Also like you said, they shoot does and little bucks. Who cares. The guy who passes on 150” bucks isn’t helping you do squat usually.

Roy as a fellow Mainer I almost think it’s ingrained in us to help out our fellow hunters up here. There’s been plenty of times I’ve heard someone shoot close to me and I’ve given it a few minutes then hiked on over to where the shot was to help a fellow hunter search for a blood trail or help drag out a deer. Sometimes that turns into the best Day out hunting for me.

Some people don't have time, energy, or money to build a habitat. Some folks go out into their back acres a couple times a year and take enough meat just to fill the freezer. Where that deer came from, or why it's so healthy is not as important to them as feeding the family. So while it may be frustrating for a neighbor who is actually helping build that herd, it is what it is. If you throw a $100 bill on a public road, don't be surprised that it's gone after a few hours. Thank you for saying that these guys aren't necessarily bad or doing something wrong....just frustrating... Good call on "working WITH your neighbors ". Unless someone is trespassing and snooping around, they probably have no idea how hard you're working on helping the herd, all they see is a legal kill. Your views seem very balanced and carefully worded. Good job. I just found your site, instantly subscribed.

My state finally made it legal to supplement feed all year. And no feed within 100 yards of a property boundary. The state also added a provision that all landowners are responsible for the actions of others using or leasing their property. Any issues with neighbors must be settled by the two owners, not users or lease holders. This is for residential and agricultural zones.

Watching this is interesting. What do you do? With a meat hunting nabors on one side. A a farm with depredation permits?

great subject Jeff I had a beautiful 21/2 year old 8 pointer under my tree 3 times in 1 day last fall, I dropped acorns on his head, would have been a stud this year! About a week after that hunt I saw a picture of the buck on a cement floor with the neighbor beside him. Good for him thats awsome!

Our neighbors trailer is 150 yards from our cabin up in the saddle between two hills. The night before is just pulling out the lab tops, showing trail cam pictures, comparing what we have seen and sometimes, figuring out, well if you go in there, they may be laying around your stand. Then they want us to look over their property for the ATVs that try to get up on the hill from the rails to trails right of way, since they live 3 hours away. The number of big bucks each of us has got is funny for a mostly wooded area. The last few years we had deer, but the week before the season they disappear from the combined 850 acres. We have not located who is corning the deer, but we have checked enough deer shot the second week of the PA season to know, they have corn in their bellies and a lot of it. So maybe a 5th type of near neighbor, the baiter.

We have 14 acres and some good neighbors. Share trail camera pics and keep track of the older buck together. One even bought more land and it looks like he extended his atv trail this year! Last year's 11pt came from that direction on opening morning. 😎

This guy has also managed to damage the creek crossing in the middle of me property by trying to put in a huge culvert with a bunch of heavy rocks and cement thinking it wouldn't wash out and of course it did and is has been replaced with an 8ft wide piece of steel that is flimsy and very shaky.

My neighbors hunt on top of the fence and my camera cards show up missing all the time. Of course nobody knows what's going.. I had to put cameras up in the trees to protect my trail cameras. Very frustrating..... still kill bigger bucks than they do and I love them being 50 yards away from me and can see it happening.

We have some neighbors who are on the same page for the most part, but in between we have lessees who feel the best places to hunt are the property lines of the people who do the heavy lifting. If you look at their stands they are almost exclusively on the line, or better yet on the intersection of two nice properties (whose owners pretty much follow sensible management guidelines) and their lease, which resembles a pool table most of the fall. To me this is more annoying than outright trespassing because there's not much you can do... it's like a kid thumbing his nose and going "nah nah nah nah nah"...just lazy and juvenile. My neighbor calls it "casual trespass".

I'm 1/2 mile from some state land and I can drive around it in the winter and see 40 or more deer in an evening when I've seen 2 or 3 sets of tracks on my week old snow.

Sounds like you ought to hit that state land then!

What would you do if your neighbor that hunts on your fence line claims to sees ghost all the time and writes about his local ghost hunting's and evp experience? I stopped letting people on my land because if he falls out of his own stand on your property, he or she can sue the pants of you. Its not the hunter that's the problem , the problem is we don't know which one is on meth or other drugs/alcohol or a rapist these days?

We have multiple 4’s around us. We own just shy of 75 acres in Central Texas and the surrounding neighbors are all 150 plus acre properties, the biggest being 600 acres on our road. All of these families have been out here since the mid 1800’s and act like they own the place. Back then in our area deer were almost nonexistent because of over hunting until antler restrictions were finally put into action. But that doesn’t matter to this one family that is our direct neighbor that had about 15-25 hunters on 250 acres and will shoot anything they see. They even have admitted to shooting a bobcat off our property and to make us feel better say it was shot in our other neighbors property. Our other immediate neighbor has purposely mowed the fence line in the evening and morning, drove it on his utv, and even spread laundry detergent to get rid of deer. We’ve been out here for 15 plus years and I’ve grown up here and it never fails. Almost ruins living out here. We’ve planted food plots each year, fed protein, improved not only our land but others around us, spared young deer to let mature. Habitat loss has been a large issue, around us we probably had 1,500 acres of solid mesquite and it went to open pastures in a short time of around 4 years.

I hunt in a county in Georgia that has a 15 inch minimum spread. What is your thoughts on that?

I hunt in woods behind my house. The neighbor is anti hunting. One opening day there was a Lions football game on and that afternoon he had the volume up so loud I could distinctly hear the play by play all the way from his house to my blind. They always walk their dog out to do his business in their own yard until deer season... then they take him out to the woods along the fence line as close as they can get to my blind. Two weeks ago I went to check on a trail cam and found multiple droppings of dog poop near my camera. They are smart enough (or lucky enough) that they don't step in front of the camera and all the droppings are right at the base of the tree where my camera is located so not even the dog is in the pictures.

What is next. Suggesting what kind of truck your neighbor should drive?.What color they should paint their house?

I thought I’ve seen many videos where you say let the neighbor hunt poorly and the Mature bucks end up on your property ?

I feel kind of set aback being lumped in with your "bad neighbor" list. Worked my entire life to afford my own land, tractor, drill, corn planter, lime spreader, fert spreader, cultipacker, sprayer etc. And spend my entire year improving the habitat that i can to help the herd. I'm the only one that leaves acres of standing corn so that the neighbors deer for miles have food for the winter. Constantly get deer pics in Jan/Feb and find sheds of deer that i never see during season that live miles away that others shoot. Have some brown it's down, semi QDM and some real QDM neighbors. As long as they hunt legally i respect them all. I even plant some neighbors plots for free if they buy the seed and fert. Just can't understand why i'm a "bad" neighbor? Just started watching your videos recently and did subscribe as i do enjoy them.

Not sure the misunderstanding...you sound like a great neighbor 👍 What I am referring to are the folks who own land, build a great doe herd...increase the population too much and actually build a poorly balanced and low quality deer herd. They then feel they have to shoot an above average number if does due to the poor herd they built, actually lowering the numbers in surrounding parcel and creating a poor neighborhood. Common problem with large, scientifically managed- but poorly managed whitetail parcels that can't fix the problem by spending more money. In fact it magnifies the problem. Hope that makes sense! Nothing to due with being neighborly or being a nice person...they just hinder the neighborhood's whitetail potential.

I've been blessed with great neighbors...always respectful of the property lines...but I also enjoy the way they get to their stand during gun season (4 wheeler)...have definitely taken advantage of that...such good neighbors

I had a horrible neighbor that would drive his diesel truck down the property line and would do hole shots by some of my blinds over and over every evening. He lost the house and land after 3 years so it's better but I did have to address dog's last year so it never ends.

😂😂 I did the same thing. Kid stole a battery out of little boat I had in there. Little creek. I followed the 4 wheeler tracks back to their house. There sat the battery on the porch. Just so happens me and his daddy grew up together. Friends. He handle it. No more problems.

I do not like if neighbors come through on my land with their ATVs or walking for exercise they need to let me know when advance. But as far as using an ATV to get to my Deerstand and I park at 100 yards away or even 50 it does not bother me and it does not bother the deer

About antler shaming what may. To be a trophy to you may be another’s. When I first started bow hunting I hunted hard for 3 seasons before I finally connected. Every time something went wrong arrow grazed a branch or jumped the arrow. But I got to say I think I’m proudest of that first deer. Yes he was “just” 4 points but to me he is a trophy!!

I had a neighbor that would bang on pots and pans and yell. She said they were her pets. LOL she spooked a good buck to me. I shot him and waved when I drove past her house. I was hunting 4-500 yards off her boundary, but if she saw my truck she would always commence to making noise.

I have hunted with all kinds of neighbors and the best thing to do is use what ever they do to your advantage. Yes it would be great if they were like minded but if not capitalize on there mistakes. The largest bucks are always taken on my side of the fence

Yep set up stand for my youngest son..wasnt seeing deer like we should..scouted on the way out one day..tresspasser had hung a stand right in bedding area above us..not sure if they shot anything but appears they enjoyed some cigarettes and couple bags of chips

Number 4 is the freakin worst. Have dealt with lots of them especially during turkey season!

60 acres to hunt on? seems like you are expecting a lot. i can't see dinging on the big acreage holders, but i would not hunt for horns. if you don't have a game fence why worry about it. sometimes hunting is more than trying to hedge your bets for the big one. stay safe out there and take what you can get with diplomacy.

Fellow Michigander Petoskey area.

Neighbor has a tree stand in a tree that is (technically) on my property but is on their "side" of the fence. Tree grew around the fence and is leaning over towards their side enough that they have the stand on their side of the fence line(not property line). Pretty much the trunk of the tree is on my side but because the tree leans they put a stand in it that is on their side but of course the stand faces my food plots.. Saving up for a survey to be done, already took one of their stands down that was without a doubt on my side and they threw a fit. Not worth cutting the tree down but sure has been considered.

@carsonschulz6498

4 жыл бұрын

Id cut the tree down. Or if the devious side of me won, I’d be tempted to cut a notch in the tree so them hanging on the other side could bring it down. Might just make them stop hunting it. But in all seriousness, it sounds like talking to them doesn’t help, makes you wonder if a survey will do any good assuming you don’t move the fence to the survey line. Make sure to steer your deer lines of movement away from that border.

Gotta say I lucked out my neighbors are great never a problem matter of fact with the exception of his dog getting lose and showing up on my land once in a while it’s all good.

Some hunters don’t believe in the QDM management style. Personally, I don’t have a high amount of confidence in the QDM system for small properties. There are people who have their own opinions regarding management. There’s also hunters who aren’t primarily concerned with antler size. I’d rather see people enjoy their property on their own terms. Big bucks are not the only objective. Sharing time with good people is the best reward in deer hunting. Too many people seem to think they have some right to judge their neighbors based on their own opinions
