How do I repel people.?

Question

There is a man who is going to illegally hunt on my property his deer stand is near the property line. He took down my fence to plant a 40' by 8' section of "deer oats" then put the fence back up, all to attract deer. Short of calling the Game Warden, I'm looking for some more...creative...ideas for keeping the hunter and his son away.

Answer 1

piss all over his area so the deer wont go near it

Answer 2

First off you don't say that you hunt deer or that you don't. If you do then i would go and talk to him in a polite manner and tell him that you don't appreciate him taking down your fence and planting a food plot as it draws away deer from your site to his.Now if you don't hunt what does it matter?If the food plot he planted was just weeds anyway (even though he's in the wrong for doing it) if it's on your property I personaly would not make a big deal about it no sense creating animosity between you and the neighbor,if your one of those people that just like watching deer don't fret the deer will be back as soon as the hunt is over, hunting is a good conservation tool! Have you ever seen a deer yard?I have and it's not a pretty site 30or so deer malnutrtioned so bad you could just walk up right beside them almost wanted to cry and consider myself pretty damn tough as i was raised in the city and have dealt with and seen some pretty bad things in my lifetime mother nature is way more cruel than than a hunter ever could be!!! In the end though if after talking to the neighbors they are just blowing you off then as stated in above post get yourself some round-up vegetation killer and spray his food plot but only do this as a last resort don't shoot holes in his stand as it is on his property and will onlybring you down to his level where neither one of you would respect each others property P.S.sheriff's department handles trespassing complaints not the wardens.I hope you can resolve this situation sensibly and peaceably as gentleman
without the childishness as stated in the above posts. Try to get along as this would be the best outcome possible

Answer 3

DO NOT SHOOT HOLES IN THE MAN'S TREE STANDS, OR PLACE SHOT-UP TARGETS IN HIS STANDS!!!! That could be construed as threatening actions and used as a defense if he takes a shot at you.

Try using sweet reason first. Tell him that you really don't want to involve the authorities, but that you don't appreciate him planting a food plot on your property without permission, and that you will be mowing the food plot before hunting season opens.

Do not argue, and do not threaten. Remain calm, regardless of any provocation. In fact, a tape recorder in your pocket would be a good idea.

If reasonable conversation does not solve the problem, call in the game wardens and sheriff's department.

UNDER NO CIRCUMSTANCES SHOULD YOU APPROACH THEM MAN WHILE HE IS HUNTING, UNLESS YOU HAVE LAWMEN WITH YOU!!! You do not want to get into an argument with a man with a rifle in his hands!! Something tragic could occur, and even if you win the shootout, you could end your life in prison, I know the son of a man who had that happen.

Whether reason prevails or if you have to call in the authorities, you need to be on the look out for arson, and/or vandalism for the next few years. Some folks are not above setting fire to woods they are not permitted to hunt.

Answer 4

I think the idea about putting some bullet holes in his stand will work the best, wont take him long to get the idea.


If that doesn't work then wait until opening morning and call the game warden. If you show them when he isn't hunting then he wont get in as much trouble.

If you want him to get into the MOST trouble then set up a game stalker camera with the sensor pointing directly at the feed plot. You will get pics of the deer being shot and the hunter when he crosses your property line to illegally collect the deer.

Get the pictures and turn him into the game Warden. He will be facing high fines, his firearms will be confiscated, and his hunting rights revoked for a period of time.. heck he might even have to bail himself out of jail : )

Answer 5

What I do to ward off deer hunters is take a stereo system and place it so that it blares music out the window in the hunter's direction. The music will frighten the deer away and he'll have to find somewhere else to hunt. Setting out a lot of pop cans filled with two or three rocks each hanging from your trees will also make noise to scare the deer away. If you don't want to do those, really bad, loud singing by a window will do the trick, too. Just make sure there is something between you and the hunter's gun so he can't shoot you (far too many hunters have far too much to drink before they hunt, and you never know when their judgment might be impaired).

By the way, since he took down your fence, you can take legal action against him for destruction of property. If he so much as takes one step on your land, you can also get him for trespassing.

Answer 6

If the feed plot is planted on your property.simply spray it with Round Up Vegetation Killer. You could even have someone disc the plot up with a tractor. Posting your property with No Hunting signs or setting up a trail camera to catch him on your property, then call the local Police or Sheriff.I personally hate the idea of posting your property, too many people do it as it is for no reason. But in this case however, for him to do this without your prior consent is just plain against the law, and he and his son are literally thumbing their noses at you.....
I can come up with more diabolical ideas but they would get you in a legal jamb so it wouldn't be worth it.Good Luck

Answer 7

One way you can really scare him, legality might be an issue, but he is trespassing, is if you have a rifle or shotgun of some kind, put a few bullets or slugs right about where he'd be sitting in his treestand. Better yet, put up a silhouette target in his stand and take a few shots at it. Then Round-Up his oats, take dog hair clippings and scatter them around the area, and if you can find it in your local hunting goods or sports store, predator urine will keep deer far, far away. Same goes with human urine, but that may not be quite as potent. I believe mixing beer and chewing tobacco also will work as a repellent for anything, including people. Slather some around the area he wants to try and hunt.

Also, call the police for trespassing, hunting without permission and vandalizing your fence.

Answer 8

Assuming he has a tree stand, it would certainly terrible IF somebody- of course not you- were to cut down his tree. I loved the answer that suggested mowing his bait down. I quit hunting, cuz it was either quit, or start hunting hunters. I had 4 tree stands stolen, That were chained and padlocked up in a tree, and had tresspassers ALL the time. One poor guy unfortunately got himself all hung up on fish hooks that some guy accidentally left draped , on STRONG lines, all around his tree stand, up in the tree, on his own posted, private land.

Answer 9

It would to your benefit to deal with this by contacting the local authorities, whether its State Wardens or Deputy's or State & Local Police.* Do not take any action against these two (2)* individuals yourself in any manner, shape or form.* Let the proper authorities handle the violations.* This is the best method of dealing with your situation.*

Answer 10

Post your property. It is illegal to trespass on posted land. If he has planted your land in oats to attract deer he obviously plans to shoot them while they are on your land. If it is properly posted, he can be arrested for trespassing if he goes onto your land to retrieve a deer that he has shot across your fence or one that has crossed the fence after having been shot. You have legal recourse to keep them away. If this is not what youwant to do, then simply replace the fence that they took down with a taller and stronger barbwire or eletric fence. This will not only prevent them from coming onto your property but will keep deer from crossing your fence in that area. Sure, the deer CAN jump over most any fence of reasonable height but actually they are lazy and will look for an easier place to cross. this will result in a change in their traffic pattern and your neighbor's stand will need to be moved. Unless your neighbor is some kind of hot headed psycho, you could try just talking to him and telling him that you do not want him taking down your fence, planting your land in oats nor hunting on your land. Any reasonable person will listen and respect your right to ask them not to use your property. You could also simply remove their stand from its present location and put it someplace else on THEIR land. Hide it if you wish. Do not remove it from their land or you would be guilty of theft.

All of this assumes that your neighbor intends to hunt ON YOUR LAND. If he will be hunting only on his land, you have no legal recourse beyond preventing him from taking down your fence. One thing that we haven't considered is that if your neighbor originally put up the fence between your land and his, then it is HIS fence and he can do as he wishes with it. But he has no right to do ANYTHING on your property without your express permission. This is especially true if your land is properly posted. Even though you don't want to have the game warden take any action on your behalf at this point, I would go and talk to them to see what recourse you have just in case you need to have them intervene. The laws vary from state to state with regard to your rights as a property owner. Be sure you know your rights so you can take appropriate actions as needed.

Answer 11

hang wind chimes all around his stand and go out there opening morning with a loud radio or an air horn
the other ideas work well too
(not anti hunter just anti bad hunter)
