My stands are all 40-50 yards or more away from bordering property lines. I am almost always bow only but I do like to pull out my muzzle loader from time to time. Back part of my property that I hunt is about 4 acres and I have permission on adjoining land that gets me to about 16. A lot of it borders up to a horse farm. I hunted the property before I bought it so I have about 20+ years invested in it. Property is posted. I got an email today from the horse farmer about a stand that is 55 yards within my property line. Which means he had to tresspass to take the pic - from behind it. Keep in mind - almost always bow other than 1 or 2 times a year I put 100 grains into the muzzle loader which Imo is pretty quiet compared to a 3 1/2 inch shell in a slug rifle.
Dear Mr Gut Pile
I wonder if this is your deer stand south of our property? It appears to be more than the required 50 feet from our property line, but we are concerned that it is facing our field with mares and foals grazing in it. Should this installation belong to you, I am politely requesting that you change the orientation so that it faces away from our property. Should a horse be inadvertently hit, or the noise of the shot cause a stampede through the fence, this would be a major problem for which damage you would be liable. This is business for us and Thoroughbreds are valuable, and excitable, horses.
Thank you.
