In regards to deer stands. Our place is 1500 acres out west and I'm of the opinion that anything closer than a 1/2 mile is too close. We've got a group of potlickers on our lease that are constantly moving their stands around and think nothing of throwing up a stand and feeder 1/4 mile from another. I feel like if we could both shoot at the same deer at the same time that is too dam close. Lease manager tends to look the other way to avoid conflict and I'm becoming "that guy" for pointing out what colossal DB's these guys are. Maybe I'm being unreasonable?

We have 7 folks on 2,400 acres out west. Each of us have 2 stands (14 total) and we only bowhunt except for the occasional culling weekend where we let friends and their kids thump the remaining does and mgmt deer with a rifle. Some stands are as close as 500-600 yards....some are 800-1000. We have a bunch of ridges and draws with mesquites/oaks and cedars so the distance is plenty for bowhunting. That being said, the pens stay where they stay so we don't really have any creepers. Never had any complaints. You dang sure can't see each others bow stands

@flywise, I agree with your avatar, absolutely America is at distress with this current administration.
@muzzlebrake, I 100% agree, if I am scouting out with bino's and catch you aiming at me with a scope there are definitely going to be sparks flying. And do not even try to say you forgot your bino's. Not going to buy it.
