Anything hanging over the property line can be removed without owners consent.... Happens all the time in the tree trimming buiness.

Ive owned my property long enough to know that good relationships with neighboring owners are very, very important. One might say they are among the most important. Exactly...... Why live next to someone you got fight with every time there is a issue.

Yup jjas is correct! Exhaust the line of communication first...then it is game on...but it isn't a fun game...and should be avoided if possible.

I'd probably start with a no trespassing sign in front of it, but greghopper is correct. If the limb stand is on is overhanging your property, you have every right to trim it off, so long as you can do so from your property.
I deal with this stuff all the time, it's frustrating. My long term goal is to have an all weather road around the perimeter of farm, so it's darned obvious when you come to the line, then vision screening via pines, hinge cutting, piled timber, Egyptian wheat, etc. so they can't see in to the interior. Then make the interior of your farm more attractive to the deer with food and cover, and life is good.

I actually could of placed the note without trespassing it is that close and while I thought about ithe while doing it. I have a good relationship with the local co I don't generally hunt that area as to avoid this issue. I can sit on other ridge and cover both. It is only during gun season. I try to keep the peace as it is just hunting and you can't control other fools. It is part of having a farm ground that is near mostly small wooded tracks. It never is the owner but someone who gave someone else's neighbors dog walker permission. I will just do a little border patrol and may climb the oak tree about 2 ft away and be up above the stand as it is only 12 ft off ground. I am pretty sure tons of coffee and the right wind would make for a interesting morning.

I went around the property on the quad with all the dogs and brother in laws dogs every morning until they got the idea. Sometimes I went by several times. Or just turned the quad off and let the dogs do there magic while they were in the stands. Guys were from Ohio, bow hunting right on the line. They would wave, I would wave back. Never saw them since. Screwed my hunting up for a bit, but it worked.

Have your wife bake them an apple pie. Get to know your neighbors and be peaceful. Have that conversation about the stand once you've been cordial and they see it. It may be difficult but it's better to make peace than to start war.

How big is their property, and yours? This should be taken in to consideration. I'm currently hunting a small parcel and while I'm not sitting directly on property lines and no one else is hunting close enough for me to have an encounter with them. In some situations it's unavoidable. I'm not saying someone should have or its ok to have their stand facing your property but depending on the situation everyone has the right to hunt their property even if it means they sit on the property line. So long as they don't shoot on to some else's property.

Try to keep it civil. Coming back tonight I saw a light on the hill (not on my property) and heard whistling. Whistled back and noticed the light started coming my way. Walked over and it was one of the guys who has a hunting camp across the road.
He got separated from his son and thought I was him from a distance. He apologized and said he didn't mean to be on my place. I said no big deal and helped him find his way back. Talked a little bit on the walk out. He asked where my property ran and such, which I would hope he'd already have a rough idea given he's nearby. Seemed like an OK guy, talked about teaching his son to hunt the right way.
That hunting camp has been there for a long while and for all I know he has the neighbor's permission, but that said, I'll be posting some no trespassing signs on that border before we head home.
So that's my long winded way of trying to say take care of business, but the last thing you want is trouble with the neighbor.

You could build a privacy fence about 8 feet wide and 20 feet tall right in front of that tree on your side of the line. 😄

The direction the stand is facing doesn't define the hunters intentions. Maybe they're playing the wind to put your property on their downwind side? I stand 80% of my time in stands. I hang some stands to use the tree itself to block my movements and silhouette putting the tree between me and expected route of deer.
If it's on you're property do something about it. If it's not, buy your neighbors property.

I have a stand on a property line, been there for years, about 15 yards on our side, I never have shot a deer on the other property, never... I wait till they get on ours or before they get to that property.

I at one time probably would have done the same thing, but as I have aged I could not go through the trouble of doing this at a cost of me loosing quality time in the woods, yes it is wrong what they are doing, but heck I have come to the conclusion killing deer ain't the most important thing I need to accomplish in life. Life is much better being positive than the negative outlook I once had. I will admit sometimes it is a struggle keeping this new outlook I want to have. Grin and bare it it can always be much worse.

This was several years ago. Some more info on this. The Ohio guys stopped here and asked for permission, of course they were turned down. They had an map of lines and knew where our property started and end. About a week later my stand came up missing. Upon driving property line, I could clearly see a path the Ohio guys were taking on our side to somewhere. There were 5 guys hunting trees all along our back line. When I mean right on the line I mean the fence was attached right to theses trees. I followed the path, low and behold there's my stand. They stole my stand and re set it up minus a few steps and my cushion. Even used my rope! Set it back upon MY property. Just a little payback for what they did. Never saw them again.

Couldn't of said it better myself, having a good standing relationship with neighbors is essential to having a good hunt. Until they do something wrong or illegal I would let sleeping dogs lay where they are. If that line does get crossed then you could pursue other avenues.

I agree. Some of the stories would be against the law. Either tresspassing or even hunter harassment.
I know of a guy who got in trouble for trying to keep duck hunters from hunting in front of their property by playing loud music along with other tactics until the duckhunter invited the local CO on a hunt with him. The guy that was arrested was on his property just making it hard for the legal hunter from legally hunting.
