Hunting can be a good time, but every once in a while there’s that hunter that ruins it all. It’s not always clear when you are being one of those unfavorable hunters, it’s just important we attempt not to be.

For new hunters this column can help you remain neighborly to your neighbor, but even the experienced may learn or be refreshed as to what hunter ethics is all about. Border disputes are common and avoiding them will surely help maintain neighborly relations. Wounded deer crossing a fence line and being pursued on to the neighbor’s property is also another common issue. Both of these are easy to handle, but there are total yahoos out there that defy all logic. Knowing how to deal with these folks can be most helpful and prevent future issues.
