Without reading personally if I don't have permission on adjoining land I wouldn't set up within 100 yds of line. Good idea to get permission from landowner to be able to track wounded game in event goes onto property. My thinking treat their property how you want your property treated. Once had a hunter put a blind right on fence line facing my property. (Not landowner). Damn the luck. Accidentally dropped a tree right on top of that blind.. lol. Never heard a peep outta the hunter. Told landowner and he laughed.

Heck that's easy. Just put your self up a couple of those mineral stump things and a big 50 gallon feeder full of corn to "get 'em coming" over in to YOUR yard!

I have purposely stayed away from the property lines at my lease both to eliminate controversy and to create a buffer between properties. |

I would basically have no where to hunt if I didn't hunt near property lines. Part of hunting small properties. Not ideal but it's the cards I'm dealt.

With my small Ohio lots (3-13 acres) I hunt both lines (wind). I shoot as they come onto the property so when hit the run out stops within the property. After 25 yrs only one ran more than 200 yards, gut shot that I pushed once. That's the one I could not retrieve. I create funnels to force the deer to enter where I have land for the run out. Sometimes you have to think out the box. As lots get broken up into small lots this will be required more and more. The good news is that more and more small lot home owners (5 acres) do not like deer after a few years eating their flowers.

You could hunt public instead of chasing around people's yard deer in subdivisions. Sorry to state the obvious, but 3 acres is too small of an area to deer hunt. Good luck, though. |

One of our best stands on any of our 5 properties lies on a small 3 acre chunk of timber beyond a barn and house that is adjacent to my parents 8 or so acres of woods. Even if my parents leave/move I will continue hunting this spot till landowners no longer allow or new ones if they move deny right to. I've got tracking permission with courtesy call to neighbor to the East, and even SE if ever needed. Neighbors to the West exact same thing. I have zero worries that if I do my part and put arrow where it should go I have 100% recovery just as if I was on a 1,000 acre chunk of timber. |

It would have to be a perfect situation to hunt that small of area and have success and not have Drama!.... to each his own I guess.

I would even say that if say my parents 9 ish acres I grew up hunting on...if say we knew the West neighbor was going to be an issue I'd stay away from that way, minimize any kind of drama with retrieval. We do have a grumpy guy next to a 20 or so acre riverbottom property that HATES people that shoot does, one year he threatened to deny permission. I stood and spoke with him for a while and asked him, "Beyond it being your right as it is your property, is there a reason you don't want the deer to be recovered and spoil if you don't mind me asking?" He went on a don't kill doe rant and the whole time my father and I listened never interrupting him...which went a long way. Said I agree in areas where populations are in trouble guys blasting does left and right can be the #1 issue. Thanked him for his time and said if he decided to let us recover it please let us know. Before I'd turned he said fine go. Sent him a thank you card and a gift certificate of just $20 but wanted him to know it meant a lot. We still have some issues out of the old crotchety man every now and then but been a lot better since that day. |

We hunt our 7 acres and it's pretty much hunting the property lines. Killed two deer off it last season with no issues. One of those deer was my son's piebald spike buck that is now hanging on his wall. Couldn't be more proud of that deer.

One of those deer was my son's piebald spike buck that is now hanging on his wall. Couldn't be more proud of that deer. One of the things I've grown accustom to doing is always thinking when I want to shoot a deer...I have one stand that I have permission to track but only with owner's presence...I try to shoot deer before they get past me and if at all possible coming from there and past me heading into mine deeper. Almost always upon impact the deer will initially push or pull away from impact/suspected danger and flee...after a little ways obviously sometimes wind or water become bigger forces in where they end up but over the years nearly every deer I've hit initially follows this behavior. Many expire before circling...eliminates any phone call placed as they die on ours. |

Obviously this plays a larger role in archery which has been every case I described above.

If the deer is heading towards the neighbors property, you can just about be assured when you shoot him without dropping him in his tracks, he will continue on that course. Hunters (particularly bow hunters) need to consider this. Backing off of the property lines 50-100 yards is a good idea.
Something I see a lot of; landowner A has awesome deer habitat and landowner B next door has a bald crop field with a tree or two on the edge between properties. Hunter gets permission from landowner B which is easy because very few hunt bald fields, then he hunts the property line. This leads to problems because the wounded deer almost always goes back into the habitat.

Good luck, though. 3 acres is plenty and there are more deer and wildlife in my area than almost any area found in Ohio, Indian, and or Kentucky. I see more of every species out there than my brothers 101 acre farm. My brother is also my neighbor and agrees. Only for a month or two. He moving to his farm full time when the new home is finished (end of October). Where I live it is very hilly and the homes are on top of the platuea ridge and down in the hollers. A lot of woods between. My hunting in Indiana are on farms 80, 101, 387, 586 acres. I see better deer and turkey at home than the farms in Switzerland and Ohio counties. Note: only archery. hunting. Shot gun is to loud. |

Some of the best spots on public land are near private property boundaries, particularly if there's ag fields for the deer to use. I still think it's rude to crowd the line, so I usually will hunt a trail, bench, or saddle adjacent to the fields.
I guess I'm lucky on my private land spots that it's mostly family that own bordering ground, and don't have any spots where I could not retrieve across the line.

All the line sitters I let know when your deer comes to die on the ground I busted my backside to hunt either work or money, you will not get it. Because I told you to get off the line |

After having dealt with this time after time, this is my stance too.
