Let’s start another argument

You wouldn’t do well rolling up to a trailhead that leads up to a wilderness area here in the West.

Good luck

I would be just fine. See people go the other way or find another spot just like I do now. You beat me to a spot I’ll just go find another. It’s not worth the risk of injury or confrontation. Just being nice human.

I was thinking though. If said person has a small lease and tries to maximize its use. Would it not benefit both parties on a bordering properties to work together and communicate with each other. Maybe not work completely together but staying enough contact to know what each others doing and discuss what would be beneficial such as shot direction or an agreement on how close they hunt to the line and don’t shoot at each others direction. We hunted leases when I was 10-17 but they were a 1,000 acres each and we avoided the borders to avoid a conflict because let’s be honest sometimes hunters are not the most thoughtful people when it comes to I paid for this, I lease this ill Do what I please and the heck with rest of it. When a simple conversation could solve allot of the issues.

This is the most common sense answer I’ve heard yet

One farm I have permission on is 140 wooded acres. It borders a horse farm that does not allow hunting. That unhuntable horse farm holds tons of does year round. Bucks just don't seem to reside there, probably due to lack of adequate cover. But, during the rut, every buck within miles cruises through looking for receptive does. They especially cruise the north border fence on a south wind so they can scent check the horse farm without wasting energy walking through it.

I learned years ago to hunt that fence from the side that I'm allowed to. I have a ladder stand 25 yards from the property fence FACING the fence, so that I can use archery equipment and later a firearm if needed. I only hunt that stand if the wind is blowing from the fence to me. I am on good terms with the horse farm landowner, and she knows 100% that I would never shoot a deer on her side. I even have cellular trail cameras on her side, and the cameras send pics to both of us simultaneously.

I let this buck walk past on the other side of the fence six weeks ago:
