Climber on property line

I personally would not, unless you and the other landowner are friends, or you at least talked to them about it.
That situation can get ugly quick.

Actually we had a situation involving climbers on property line trees. On their side was "no visibility" planted pine and on our side was open hardwoods. Doesn't take a mastermind to figure out where they were shooting. Our solution was to build some cheap box blinds and set them within site of property line. The guy(s) hunting the line couldn't tell if we were hunting in box blind or not on a Tuesday afternoon. Unless I guess they trespassed and knocked on the door to say hello . We don't hunt the box blinds because they are small and uncomfortable. However they are very effective at the intended purpose.

I realize I'm kinda off topic now though. So my 2cents is don't do it unless think the other side would be cool with it or wouldn't care. Good way to make the neighbors think you are a POS.

If you're actually hunting your side of the line I don't see the problem

As long as when the sun comes up you're not looking at a stand on the other side of the fence..

Why would you do that unless you have intentions of shooting across his property line? Some states have as that no stands are to be within 50 yards of a property line. Just move back 100 yards on your side to avoid a nasty situation and probably a climbing stand to come up missing.

Read the OP. He said his place is cutover with no trees to climb so he was gonna climb a neighbors on the line looking back towards his cutover. At least that's what I got out of it.


Most parishes in La have an ordinance that states fixed hunting positions must be 50 yards from the property line and if the boundary is a creek then 100 yards from center of creek. This is mainly to keep people from being tempted to shoot on others land.

I've confiscated lots of stands because of this law.

That is correct. The other property is very thick and I could not see into it even if I wash on the ground. The whole purpose is to hunt my cutover. I do not have any trees on my side that I can hunt from. I think I may have to put a tripod up just to avoid any neighbor issues.

We never hunt a property line, I know where everyone on our property is hunting but not anyone adjacent. It jsut seems like a safety issue to me, why we alwasy leave a buffer.

In your case, it is a climber and you can probably kinda check before setting in tree, but long term I would put up a box stand or tripod. (Im getting older and fatter, so I like the box stand!)

Yea pretty much.

A laminated copy of the ordinance was posted on every stand too close to the line. Of course it was the ones that were obviously trying to hunt both sides and had been reported. Attempts to contact lease holders or land owners were made and documented. 2-4 weeks after the notices were posted the stands were removed and another laminated document was left behind notifying the stand owner where they could retrieve their stand and receive their citation for the violation.
