Someone is hunting in my spot!

[JIMMYC308]

I have 2 ladder stands on the property so he knows someone is hunting there. I'll be setting up near his feeder on Saturday so maybe I'll run into him then. I am definitely going to talk to the landowner on Saturday also and if he does not have permission the deer be gone idea sounds like a winner I may be just overreacting but I've had that spot by myself for 13 years so I was very bummed to see other activity there. BTW his stand is fixed.

Found a feeder and a new treestand on my 5D spot over the early muzzle loader season and it doesn't belong to me or my buddies that hunt there. So my question is,what would you guys do? Just a little background on the spot It's a private residence in Delco that's not posted and I have hunted there for about 13 years. would you go to the landowner or try to handle it yourself?

What quantity of feed is at the "feeder"?

This MAY be an unlawfully baited area (if the quantity of "feed" exceeds five gallons).

Deer B Gone does exist...here's the recipe:

4 eggs
1 – 2 tbsp cayenne
1 – 2 tbsp garlic powder
¼ cup Wilt-Pruf (as a sticker spreader)
Water

Put 4 raw eggs in a blender. Add cayenne and garlic powder. Blend on high until completely mixed. Pour into an empty gallon container. Add Wilt-Pruf and enough water to make a gallon. Mix well.


And as stated watch hunting around any baited areas.

I thought it was illeagal to bait period.

Go to your local barber shop and ask for all of their hair clippings from that day (it's trash so they will let you have it) Then spread it around his stand. That will put the human odor all over and the deer will not come near him.

Baited areas are covered on pages 21 & 92 in the digest.

bating is legal in some zones now - 5D is one of them

Speak with the land owner. its possible he has handed out permission, the last thing you want to do is challenge someone only to find out they are family or a long time friend and then you lose your permission to hunt... that would suck just a tad

Its called human piss

Myth.

I actually make my own scrapes, and deer seem to love it

I'll never buy another bottle of stale doe pee again

You guys probably know better than me, but coyote piss is used by EPA and other government organizations to keep deer away from areas or from eating plants. And it's sold just about everywhere.

Baiting is lawful on private property in the South-East Special Regulations area. Wildlife Management Area 5D only comprises part of the SE Special Regs. area.
