your story brought back memories for me. I was 16, had just started driving, and got a new place to hunt that was like 500 acres. OnX didnt exist. A guy that lived nearby told me about a really good spot with a ladder stand that I could walk up the mountain too and gave me some rough directions. The next morning, I went off in the dark and walked a mile or so up the mountain. It broke gray light and I saw a ladder stand, thought that was just great. I climbed in the stand and sat for several hours. Then along came the neighboring landowner to let me know that I had crossed the line about 50 yards and was in his stand
He was nice about it and showed me the boundary and there was never another issue. I'm sure he could tell I didn't intend on doing that.
