Deer Hunting

Don't You Just Hate That When......

Uploaded on June 24, 2009

Your neighbor calls the cops on you because, you are shooting your bow at a target in your own back yard!!!! Where I would like to point out that it is perfectly legal to do so. The guy next door also ruined a hunting spot my husband and myself were going to be able to hunt. Forty acres that has'nt been hunted in ten years!!! Took food out of our kids mouth just because, my husband suggested that he put a collar on his dog that squirts water on him when he barks! The dog is out there at 5:30am barking and waking my kids up. After two years of listening to him we had enough of it. He talked about the neighbors that were going to give us the hunting property to use for a year and then he goes and has a talk with them (god knows what he said) and now we cannot hunt there. Let me tell you asll something he is really starting to aggitate me to the point where I want to go and punch him in his nose. I was taught to repect my elders but, this is going a little to far! I just wanted to get that off my chest. Oh yeah should I turn him into the EPA we watched as he poured over a gallon of anti freeze into his burn pit, among other things like oil and gas?

I would talk to the landowner and explain the situiation. As far as your neighber goes I would ignore him, when I moved in to our house we are out of city limits, and the neighberhood was not develope. Well just so happeens there were 200 geese using the field next to my house I contacted the landowner gaind permision and one evening openend up a can on those geese, well the person that had just moved in next door threw a fit and I politley told them to mind there own buisness that what I was doing was legale.Hope this you out.

I'd talk to the "land owner" again to try to straighten "this mess out" with him.
Yes I'd call the EPA- For the "illegal dumping", did you get any pic's of this? Because it would help them get this IDIOT.
Now on to your other problem(his dog)- Is there a "leash law" where you live? If so, then call the law, because the dog "could attack" you/husband/kids.
The barking is a "noise" violation in most places too.
There is also a book "How to deal with bad neighbors"(I think that's the name) you might want to look into.
hope this helps.

If anyone doesnn't appreciate good neighbors, this ought to make you appreciate any good ones a little more.

There is no bigger dog lover than me but at the same time owners should be responsible for their pets behavior. If the dog is waking you up at 5:30am. Sacrifice a few early mornings and be sure to wake your neighbors up at 4:30am using any method you feel appropriate. Tit for Tat.

Sorry, about your nabour Mam,
I don't have nabours close enough to worry me. I hate city living because of those nosey tattle tell people that alway seem to think they'er a little higher up. Seems they're always some liberal bisy body that hugs thier trees and throw their trash on the ground at Wal-Mart. You can keep city living. I live in stix, I have my own animal control. No dog catcher here. Only us redneck hillbillys. Dog wake me up at night I just shoot off a couple rounds of buck shot in the ground and they shut up. Same goes for the coyotes that wake me up at night. And if my nabours have ever herd it, they never have complained to me about it. I like being a hillbilly.

Oh, and let him keep pooring that antifreeze on the ground and the dog will probubly be silenced by the owners hands.

First of all, I would suggest that you "turn the other cheek" and make the dude some cookies- just use extra Ex-Lax! Or just feed the dog Ex-Lax and get even with both of them!

If you can get a hold of a trail cam you might be able to get some evidence of his illegal dumping.

If all that does not make you feel better, build a spud gun, and when he goes on vacation, stuff an orange or something down it and fill it up 1/4 way with dog poop and shoot the side of his house... it will keep him busy for at least a week when he gets home! Don't get mad, get even!

If it were me, I would have made it a point to shoot my bow more often just to prove a point that he cant do anything about it..but thats probably not the best thing to do. However, if you have constantly been respectful to him and he still treats you like that, its definetly time to fight fire with fire

Shoot your bow while wearing a Speedo and combat boots. If they spend that much time watching, give them something to look at!

You are in a neighbor war. The only thing to do know is whatever annoys them the most as often as you can until they ask for a truce. Then laugh and run away.

Well we have been getting a little even. The dog hates lawn mowers so we park it outside of the garage. He hates bikes so we let the kids circle around the house. That way he is tearing the house up. Thank you all for your comments you guys are great ;)

I have been in this situation before, just bide your time until he does something stupid and you can get pictures of it so he can't get out of it.

I am lucky, I live in out in the sticks and both of my neighbors are cool as can be, wish everyone had it that way, but there are always going to be those neighbors that iritate you to no end. Just do it by the book so he can't get the law against you.

I've never lived in a town but My great friend got transferred to a big town for his job. He loves to shoot his bow and has won so many indoor and 3-D tournaments that everywhere he goes he recognized for his ability. I made him a 5'x5' rag bin with a roof and a ethrofoam face. He could only shoot 18 yards and at this range a 1" orange dot was in trouble on every shot! He made the most of what he had. His yard was surrounded by a very high wooden fence that had no spacing between the slats. His neighbor was a 30 year old woman from New Jersey and although the town had no law against archery she raised such a stink about this violent activity that the town finally gave in and made my friend stop shooting. He promptly quit this good paying job and moved back to his stomping grounds.

If you know that he's dumping anti-freeze and you can prove it, it would not be wrong to go after him.
