I have family land that we hunt in north LA. I didn’t go at all last year because we were remodeling our home. It was grown up. Went out there and bushhogged and noticed a thrown together box stand. Thought it might’ve been my uncle but after talking to him he said it wasn’t. Went back and saw his hunting club tag by the stand. Which is about 20 yards from my property line.
Isn’t there a law where a club member can’t put a stand within 100 yards of private property line? I plan on writing a note to tape to it when I go by there tomorrow. I’ve hunted this land my whole life and have never had to deal with something like this. Any advice would be appreciated

Edit: I was unsure of what the law was, which is why I asked on this board. Thank you guys for clearing that up for me. Now I know that he is legally there and there isn’t anything I can do about it. I don’t think I own the deer. I just know the land that I own. My intent with the letter wasn’t to be hateful or stir anything up. But now that I know that he can rightfully be there, I won’t put a letter.
This is 100% the reason I asked on here before doing anything.

So you want to trespass onto their land?

What do you mean by hunting club? Like a private club with private land like yours?

If that’s the case, then no, there is no law saying that someone cannot put up a stand on their own private land because it is within 20 yards of your property line.

Kind of a dick move but not illegal

Trespassing is illegal

Better to have an a-hole for a neighbor that leaves your shite alone and lets you retrieve dead deer on his side of the fence than an a-hole neighbor who is your mortal enemy.

if you're worried about them shooting over the line, throw together your own box stand somewhere within eyesight of their stand. They likely won't ever do anything illegal if someone might be also hunting in your box blind.

Laws are no different for hunting clubs than they are for family land

There isn’t a state law in LA on distance of a stand from a property line. Some parishes have ordinances on it. In West Feliciana a stand has to be 50 yards off property line.

The law you’re thinking of only pertains to feeders. If there’s no feeder or it’s 100 yards on their property, then he’s not doing anything wrong. Welcome to deer hunting. Buy the property he’s hunting if it bothers you that other folks will be targeting the same deer you are.

Run a high fence down the property line. Fences make good neighbors

U just asking for trouble if u do that…… well within there property nothing u can do about it. If you do light that tinder box you better hope none of ur deer run off because if u pull some shite like that to them they probably going to tell you to go pound sand on retrieving that deer!

You don’t own the deer. Neither do the neighbors.

Just have to get over it. Like others said don’t want to have a neighbor that won’t let you recover your target buck on his property.

I would not build a stand on top of the neighbor’s blind. But everyone has different ideas of what is good etiquette.

Dude- I worked hard on that stand.

And if you noticed, my blind chair and Bog DeathGrip is facing towards my property.

Deal with it.

So let me see if I understand. You are upset because someone is lawfully on their property, but to close to yours. So, you intend to trespass on their property and warn them of something you think is wrong but is not.

Sounds like they got tight to your family property because you never hunted there.

I did take last year off because I was too busy. My Grandpaw usually hunts it pretty heavily but he’s now too old to get around great.
So I can see how maybe he thought no one hunts out there. It is aggravating, but if he’s legally there then there’s nothing I can do about it.

Pretty sure it’s land that they lease from a timber company. I’m not saying that changes anything but that’s the case.

How close is your box stand to the property line that was “all grown up” when he or she built theirs? Could he see it from his property or should he have crossed the property line to see if you had a stand near? Are any of your stand near a property line of any sort.
