Is one not allowed to comment if only part of a thread is read? I did not see that in the rules. My bad.

We have a few lawyers here. What would be the theory of liability under which horselady could attack you for something you do on your own property. How is a shot from a muzzleloader different from nailing some shingles on your roof or driving a car past her pasture ?

As a retired NRP officer I can tell you that I have never seen or heard of this 40 or 50 foot buffer. Your property is yours from edge to edge. I would agree that having a meeting with the neighbors is a good idea and you can explain how you hunt and the various seasons. Perhaps even offer to call the day before muzzleloader or firearms season so they can use a different field or stable the horses. On the down side I have dealt with numerous horse owners who really are in their own world and fit many of the descriptions I've seen here. I would be very careful in my dealings with them to not show aggression or you may become an example of the red flag laws we all love sooooo much. Safe hunting and remember the sport is supposed to help us relax so if it is causing stress step back and think it thru.
Point out that you faced the stand in that orientation based on the fact that your shots will be more accurate in his direction if your body position isn't contorted 180 degrees around the tree, Ask him to verify his wishes and offer to comply with the understanding that he is increasing the likely hood you hit his animals and that you won't be held liable, as he is the cause of the increase in shot difficulty.
Good post dgough.
A simple trespass thread, which has an easy answer, has brought out the "hate" that we now know lies in MDS. More like a moms demand action forum post. I have a range I can walk to on a neighbors property, their neighbors hunt a full 200 yds away and got pissed I was shooting (actually while deer are grazing nearby watching me) so we coordinated days, have a meeting every year, call out DNR just to talk and alleviate their concerns during the actual season. Easy Peasy, one has to love a friendly neighborhood.
Many fail to see the movement to remove firearms from citizens and if they were to get this thread posted to a newspaper you could bet they would try to make more laws seeing the aggressive nature of gun owners over a simple trespass incident. That is all this is, a trespass, don't push it to the next level in such a fashion. Or go ahead, poke the Bloomberg/Soros hornets nest.
Things can be worked out between reasonable people/neighbors. It is called compromise. However, some people want to have everything their way. The question ends up being, is the OP AND his neighbor both reasonable. If one is not, then it cannot be worked out. If both are unreasonable, then the attorneys and justice system get more work/money.
