re: High Fence for the Neighbor

Okay sorry to leave for a day. Thanks for the posts. Many had the same thoughts as I. I do think that he is bluffing as high fences run for around 10,000 a mile depending on how easy a line is to run. Malnutrition, desease and breeding were issue I were aware of but had not thought about state regs on issues. We have about 250 acre that adjoin his land. 100 of that is soy beans summer/wheat in the winter. 125 of it is hardwoods that were select cut two seasons ago and there is only about 25 acers of bedding area left. His land is 600 acers of unthined young pines. You can sit and watch the deer pour off of him onto us. In the end it's his land and he's free to do with it what he wants. If he high fences it it's not the end of the world but we will feel the effects of it on that piece of our hunting land.

Not that it matters but the land owner is in his late fifties. He married into his land and money and is my father in laws first cousin by marriage. I cant say much about marrying into good fortune as that is how I came to be able to hunt where I hunt, but at least I dont take it for granted or carry myself about as if I have actually built something on my own. He's a dick. He knows it and doesnt care but I'm cordial when I see him.
