[QUOTE="huvrman, post: 5484572, member: 10625"] Matthew 18:15-17 is a pretty good guide on how to handle it. Obviously in this case I wouldn’t take it to the church. But if he isn’t receptive after you’ve tried the one-on-one, and you are unwilling to live with it, then I’d get the other guy who hunts your property and all three of you have a powwow to hash out some ground rules. I completely understand your predicament. When I first bought my property my neighbor asked if he could hunt part that was behind his house. He had previously hunted it and since his house sat at the head of my driveway, I figured I’d let him in exchange for him watching over my place when I was gone. So for many years I let him. He stayed in his little area. Problem was I began to restrict where I hunted on my property because I didn’t want to mess him up. Although it was my land, I (being military as someone previously stated) began to place his use of my land (his wants) above my use of my land (my wants). I found myself not going into that area because I never knew when he was going to be hunting or even if he was going to hunt at all that season. So, I told him he would have to notify me before the season if he was going to hunt. (I really didn’t want to tell him he’d have to tell me every time he was going in there. I felt that would just be petty and since we were neighbors and all, just overkill.). That lasted one year. The next year, when I had not heard from him by the bow opener (he didn’t bow hunt but I did), I sent him a text and told him to pull his stand, I intended to hunt that area. He pulled his stand and the rest is history. It is very easy to try to be nice and end up restricting yourself in an effort to keep the peace or be a good neighbor. But a single act of kindness can turn into a moral dilemma down the road if not entered into with a hint of caution. Matthew 18:15 is where I’d start. [/QUOTE]
