I was hunting on the property I was just given permision to hunt. I was warned the neighbors were jerks. One of them came into my area this morning. They were right on the edge of the property line. He started pouring corn all around. His little girls were running and screaming all over the place. My hunt was over. I got down and went over to them to talk. I wanted to ask for permision to track and retrieve from their land. He had no problem with it. Then it hit me, the reason I wasn't getting any shots was because of all that corn. He dumped 150 lb.s of it just this morning. I wanted to say "hey you are ruining my hunting location" but, I didn't. I know he plans to hunt gun season and some bow but not much. I want him to quit with the corn but I don't want to cause any problems. I know it is his land to do with as he pleases but, I can'thelp but to feel upset that I finally got a good place to hunt and he is screwing it up. All ethics aside, it is just plain rude. I haven't checked but I am pretty sure baiting is legal in Ohio. I needto read that section tonight. Any thoughts?

well, if it turns out baiting is legal up there, you really got nothing you can do. I good plea from the heart is probably your best bet.that's a tough situation, can you relocate stands to move away from the property line?

try and talk to him some more and inform him nicely that tomuch corn will make the deer go nocturnal and recommend a feeder tgat willput out asmall amont a day

besides the nocturnal thing why would it ruin your spot or is that the only reason you had

i have had neighboors that i was told to be rude and they were not get to know him

[/align]nocturnal and the deer are staying away from the natural food sources. The ones I am set up on.

yep ... it's his land .... he paid for it and as long as it's legal, he has the right .... he pays the taxes ......

now if it's NOT legal, you might want to blow him in, but be prepared to NEVER step foot on his property ...

[blockquote] I know that is my delema. I guess I should put my big boy pants on and take it. I don't think there is anything I can do. I don't want to tell him what he can and can't do with his land. I am pretty sure he is legal. He can do whatever he wants on his property. I guess I just need to look elsewhere for hunting land.[/blockquote]

Figure it out. May take some time but you'll be able to use what he's doing. How big is the land your on? Good to have plenty of different places to hunt. They come and they go. Best to have other plans.

What he's doing is legal in Ohio.

[/align]I guess I could offer to go in half on a feeder. What would you folks do? I know it is his decision. This is the only land that I can huntwith some one. I was planning to take my father in-law up there in the middle of Nov.He has always let me hunt his land. I thought it would bew nice to return the favor.

Put a stand up as close as possible to his cornpile and hunt it nonstop for a few days. Walk in about 1hr before light and make stomping noise when leaving. Make sure the deer blow as you come and go. Hunt the stand near the corn early, then move out to your food plots or trails leading to them about 9am. Once they pattern you at the corn, they'll shift back over to your food plots. Disrupt their feeding at the cornpile and they'll move back over to where they aren't being pressured, your food plots.

This is from experience. I've been snorted twice this week at 6am walking up to my stand near the cornpile, this morning from both sides of the stand. There were deer everywhere. Odd thing is, I saw 10 deer today. Until today, I'd only seen four in the past month and a half. About 11am the deer started moving again, but they stayed 60 or 70 yds OR more from the corn and stand. I watched them for about three hours and they paid no attention to it. Tomorrow morning, I'm going to go in after first light and see if they are still feeding at the corn, but not go into the stand. I'm going to take my climber and sit off the path they were walking about 20yds and try to pick one off there.

[blockquote]Beezer, I don't want to be dirty about it. I just want to change his way of thinking. He is ruining my stand location but{in all truithfulness} he isn't doing anything wrong. He is legal and it is his land to do with as he pleases. Like I said "I guess I will just put my big boy pants on and take it" I may offer to go in halfs on a feeder. If he agrees to move it a little closer to the property line. Not that I want to hunt over a feeder but,if it is going to be there; I might as well.
