Place to the east of me sold. I have fields west and north of their property. The back edge of their property comes 20 feet short of hitting my field. They put a deer stand up just about on the line. I think it is just over on their side. Thing is, the only unobstructed view they have is on my field.
And did I mention my deer stand is 15 feet away and between their stand and and my field?
This is my second issue with them, the first is a bit lengthy, involves a bullet hitting my corn within 20 feet of where I was squirrel hunting and them lying to the police where they were "target shooting at"
I think this is going to be a border war!!!

Ugh. Sorry to hear that. It may be time to put out some hidden cameras, just to keep an extra eye on your stand and them.
Good luck.

Hunt smarter. Your neighbors sound like a bunch of yahoos that will only be in the woods for a few gun hunts. I'd just stay away from the immediate area when they are known to be there. And yes, mount a camera or three to keep an eye on them. Also, $20 of "No Trespassing" signs might be money well-spent.

So you're mad that their stand just over the property line is going to mess up your stand just over the property line? Or am I missing something. Let me guess, their woods holds the deer and they feed in your field in the evenings?

Yes, it sounds like you're going to have some real issues with your new neighbors. This is becoming more & more common in states with high populations. People moving/building in and around someones hunting property, and they start complaining about your hunting or shooting. Also you can't rule-out that they might have several friends that will be hunting on their property which may or may not affect your hunting area. I see the Police being called, out your way, several times, due to either hunting or shooting. <Very Bad situation>

I would just hunt your side of the line and keep an eye on them. Putting a stand on their property is their right, like its your right on your property.
Have any laws been broken by them yet?

They can put a stand on their property anywhere they like; not much you can do about it until they actually hunt you side of the line. The only part of your post that would make me concerned as well is that your property is the only thing that has a clear view. The back of my property butts up against a field (not farmed) and sometimes I set up about 20' in on my side of the line and hunt the woods (mine), I don't face the field nor do I take anything in it. JDUB knows not to as well.

Have you tried talking to them regarding the hunting?

great idea. Positive things might come out of this that benefit you both...keeping trespassers off, passing on yearlings, help with dragging deer out, food plotting, etc Have you tried talking to them regarding the hunting?

I am hunting the field where the deer come from my other woods to the big woods owned by someone else. There stand is about 7 feet off the ground. The only area they have a clean shot of is my field. That is my issue, them shooting deer that are on my ground. That and who in their right mind puts a deer stand mere feet from someone else's?

That and who in their right mind puts a deer stand mere feet from someone else's? I have seen 5 deer walk out of less than a quarter acre patch of overgrowth around old corn cribs by an occupied house while everybody was hunting the "big woods". Deer can and will survive in areas that humans just don't believe. At this point, all you have to be angry about is your perceived future actions of a new neighbor. Until they actually do something illegal, there is nothing to complain about. The suggestion to hang cameras will go a long way to resolving issues, if they actually occur.

Good fences and no trespassing signs make good neighbors. As does game cameras. Other than that, I know from personal experience, staying away from certain property lines makes for much more peaceful hunting. Worried about the view, plant something, it may not grow up this year, but will fix issues in the future. I have that one neighbor that has to know everything you are doing, letting our property grow wild helps him mind his own business.
