557.0. "In Just One Year!" by USADEC::OTENTI () Mon Nov 20 1989 06:56

     Last year I pulled out a monster 10 pointer from a spot I'd
    been hunting for about 5 years. One of the guys with us was from
    the next town over and I'm sure he must have told half the town
    where this deer came from, because  what I hear from the bow hunters
    that use the cabin is that the area is full of people now! I'm used
    to seeing maybe one hunter the whole time I'm out in the woods! But
    I've got a question...(told to me from people who ran into him) This
    guy has set up 4 tree stands all within 100 feet of my stand and from 
    what I've heard he's a REAL *ss*ole..he started screaming at one guy
    for being in one of his stands and kicked him out...does he have the
    right to do this?? He started yelling at someone else for walking near
    his stands..."your scaring away my deer...get outa here!" Now I'm not
    sure that he's NOT on my buddies private property..and he doesn't even
    know of this guy yet..I'll be calling him today! But how do we handle a
    guy like this?? I like my hunting as much as the next guy and actually
    I hunt more for the peace and quiet of getting out in the woods by
    myself and talking about the 'one that got away' over dinner that
    night. I'm sure we'll be running into this guy and I sure don't need
    this type of aggravation from some rambo type hunter if i get within
    hearing distance of him..hell if my stand is only 100' away I can't 
    help but run into him.
    
    any suggestions from folks who may have run into someone like this..all
    I need is to hit a nice buck and have this guy steal if from me like
    what happened a couple notes back! 
    
    thanks

      Al,
    
         The best thing to do is find out if the guy is hunting on your
    friends private land, if so and he doesnt have permission then he
    is illegally TRESSPASSING even if the land isnt posted....
    
         HUNTING IS A PRIVALEDGE NOT A RIGHT!!!! (and privaledges can
    be taken away) if the landowner wants to get involved with this
    guy and he still wont leave have your friend call the state police
    and fish & game since he is on the land without permission.
    
         I am not sure how N.H. works but if the tree is damaged by
    a tree stand the person who put the stand up is financially responsible
    for any damage to the tree $$$$$$$$ (at least in Pa) so I would
    ask the fish & game dept.
    
         Last night I went into the area where I hunt and there was
    cars parked all along the road at the far end of the farm and where
    I park there was  5 cars there hum whats this all about I though
    there were guys standing along the logging road adn then I knew
    what was going on they were going to put on a massive deer drive,
       Well I went into my stand and I heard some deer come past me
    on the other side of the pines but couldnt see them.
       When I came out at dark the guys were gone and there werent any
    shots fired. they might of gotten worried with me coming in at
    the middle of there drive because they were right in the middle
    of posted land. what *ssholes.
    
                                            GOOD LUCK WITH THIS GUY

I don't think that you should hunt someone elses stand without their 
permission.  He put the blood, sweat and effort into building them and 
he should have some say in who is in them.  I'm assuming you're 
talking about permanent stands here.

The issue here is that he put the stands so close to your stand.  
That's an a**hole move on his part.  Tell him that you are hunting 
that hollow and you don't appreciate him sniping you like that.  If he 
turns into super-a**hole about it, drink a large bottle of juice, eat 
a big breakfast, wait until he's in the stand and then walk a big 
circle around him leaving "scent" everywhere you go ;^).

We have a similar situation where I hunt - the land is owned by more 
than one person, so multiple parties have permission to hunt.  we 
discovered this when we were doing preseason scouting and found they 
had tied ribbons in to find their way to our stands.  I cut the first 
couple of ribbon trails out w/ my knife.  I was pissed enough so that 
when I found a 3rd ribbon trail into a 3rd stand (that WE built) I 
untied the ribbons, went up the road about 100 yards, and tied them again 
on trees going in a big circle.  I think they got the message because we 
haven't had problems with them being in our stands.

Just my .02 worth,

Scott
