City guy owned the property when I bought my bigger piece and his 10 acres corners into my property. In the corner he has put a nice ground blind and along the old fence he put a feeder. Clearly he wants to shoot onto my property too.

He called me to tell me the previous owner used to let him on the property to retrieve wounded deer. I told him not to hunt on my property.

No question in mind there will be a "wounded deer" he will have to retrieve sometime this year. I suspect I will tell him I appreciate him going to get the deer and to bring it on up to my farm house so I can process it.

What would you do? I may put a blind next to his deer feeder and let a couple of local bubbas hunt in it.

I don't hunt deer much any more. I do have one very nice buck I am seeing regularly I may take.

You tell him if a deer is on your property either while or after he shoots it, it’s your deer.

Let him know he is nit to shoot into your property and that if he does police will be called.

As long as he's hunting on his property and not trespassing what do you care? If he wings one and it runs onto your property you should be a good neighbor and let him go find it and maybe even help him.

Put a camera up so you can prove where he shot the animal

Pretty simple answer. You tell him you saw the blind and feeder on the property line and you wanted to let him know that you do not give him permission to shoot any deer on your property.

If the blind and feeder are facing his property I'd have no problem with it. He's just trying to maximize his 10 acres. Or you can go put a blind on the other side of the fence from his..

Put up a high fence. It's the OT thing to do.

Just make sure he knows there will be tariffs on any deer that he has to retrieve from your property.

Put a cell game camera up to watch to see if he crosses onto your property. There isn't anything illegal about him hunting on the property line even though it can be poor sportsmanship.

Bottom line, have a chat with the dude. If he's a jerk, then do things to make that corner less desirable to hunt. If he's a decent fella, help him out a bit. He knows what the deal is.

Why would you process his deer?

As long as he isn't shooting deer off of your property there shouldn't be a problem. They aren't your deer. All you control is access. Put a fence up and pay the state for them if you want them to be yours.
