I have some neighbors living on 10 acres{that I sold someone else like an idiot 10 years ago}. It is basically a 200' wide strip of land. The woman has invited her brother to bow hunt all he wants! On opening day of bow season he shot a spike which ran and ran and ran! It ran over to my prop. and then back across their prop. to my neighbors prop. He[other neighbor} was hunting his land and to say the least was not happy about this guy crashing through his land chasing a deer while he was hunting. I was a bit concerned but since it is still too hot for me I wasn't in the woods.
We{other neighbor and myself} have tried politely to explain that the way their land lays there just isn't really the space needed for archery hunting since if the brother shoots anything chances are he will ruin our hunting when he has to go chasing after anything he shoots onto our properties! This also presents a scary picture during mz\rifle if he were to miss!
I know they have rights but I am afraid I am going to have to post mine and become a BAD neighbor and NOT give permission to track on my property. The other neighbor is considering doing the same.
I hate doing this because it will cause a rift between my wife and I with the neighbors which actually do not hunt themselves!

Is ten acres too small for archery???

He should ask permission before tracking on someonelses property after a animal and would go in after dark if I knew there were others hunting. I would have a hard time telling someone they couldnt track a deer the shot that ran onto my property. Heck I would help them track it myself, but thats just me.

I am not opposed to helping as I did opening morning. But these folks don't have 'southern manners" if you know what I am saying!
Then there is the issue of guns going off on such a small tract of land!

Its not to small in my opinion...I would hunt a 1/4 acre if I had permission and it had deer using it....All I need is a 30 yard circle and I'm good to go. If the neighbors won't let me retrieve something I shoot legaly off of property I have permission to hunt then they can retrieve it and eat it thierselfs..or let it rot, thats is thier call imo...

Southern manners? ....
That is two street in my book....

I guess it's more than what I presented. They being from NJ have a very different way of going about things ie: walking up to me with a teenager{not their son} and saying" I told him you wouldn't mind his going up your mtn and hunting" all the while shaking his head up and down{yes} while I'm standing there shaking my head [no] and just keeps right on about it{he meant right now}. Ask first without a teenager standing there waiting to head up the mtn with gun in hand would be in my opinion proper etiquette! ;\)
The fact that this brother shot first-then just went to tracking\following this wounded deer WITHOUT any form of permission without any regard for what was going on the surrounding properties and then not asking what if this comes up again????
As far as hunting{archery} in a thirty yard circle that is great that the deer you shoot never run off and die a hundred or more yards! I guess that is one of those "geographical odditties"

P.S. I am one of the few in my area that allow way more people to hunt my property without asking for a thing in return than most anybody in a five mile radius! And I enjoy letting them!
This thread was about hunting a sliver of land under 200' wide with bow.

Now the middle neighbors dogs are becoming an issue! AGAIN! Other[hunting} neighbor had them{dogs} run in on him for the second time in as many hunts. Upon leaving his stand on Saturday evening he rode his atv straight to there house. Not via the road but through the woods to their backyard where they were having a cookout! I met him there as this happens to both of us every year! Our neighbors reply: " give me a call when going hunting and I will put them up". WRONG!!!! Keep them confined to your property!! "But they{dogs} don't know the boundry". Then don't let them roam freely!!!!!!!
Again-10 acres, 4 horses, 2 dogs and several members of the family{retired couple that actually live there don't hunt}hunting. Running trail cams and I am sure hunting a hollow that is mine.
It is just too much for that small piece of property! And we have to go over this with them EVERY year! And the worst fact is that they act like we are a-holes for saying anything! I have told them that January through August to ride horses\walk dogs all they want and they just can't seem to stop at that!
