Neighbor disputes come in many shapes and forms, and the one Reddit user NY568 shared on r/EntitledPeople involves a persistent hunting enthusiast who wants to use his gun on the Redditor’s parents’ land.

However, while the 7-acre property is scenic and full of wildlife, the couple does not want outsiders roaming there, so they repeatedly told the man no. Although disappointed, he seemed to understand and respect their boundaries. But then a tree stand was discovered on the grounds.

    Entering your neighbor’s property with a gun without their permission can seriously backfire

    The legal nuance might be different from one place to the next, and as we just learned, owning land home to wildlife can be difficult to manage during hunting season.

    While some hunters may not be aware of where your property begins, if the tree stand was, indeed, set up by the neighbor, he trespassed on the Redditor’s parents’ property knowingly and perhaps even repeatedly.

    Some places, like the American state of Louisiana, allow hunters enter properties to collect their hunting dogs — as long as they aren’t carrying any weapon.

    But in most, hunters may not retrieve dogs or wounded animals if they can’t legally hunt on that land.

    In Florida, for example, trespassing while in possession of a firearm is a felony punishable by up to five years in prison and/or a fine of up to $5,000.

    Almost three quarters of Americans dislike at least one of their neighbors

    A recent LendingTree survey of 1,537 Americans revealed that 73% percent of them dislike at least one of their neighbors. Gen Zers, apartment dwellers and Northeasterners were most likely to say so. Also,  those who have issues with their neighbors cite three main reasons for it: giving off a “weird vibe,” being too loud, and being rude.

    Hopefully, the Redditor’s parents and their neighbor will find a way to settle their disagreements peacefully.

    Things don’t always work out, though — more than 1 in 10 Americans (11%) have moved specifically because they didn’t like their neighbors.

    Another 27% have thought about it because of them.

    As the story went viral, its author provided more information in the comments

    People mostly supported the landowners

    Some even shared their own similar experiences

    But a few took issue with how everything was handled

    I’m not a hunter and have no stomach for blood sport of any kind. But. The reason for certain hunting seasons is for population control, to cull the herds. If there was a year when no hunting was allowed, the deer, rabbit, duck, etc would continue to reproduce. Their numbers would grow to the point where they’d surpass their food supply. They’d eat all the available food, denude the land of grasses and other foodstuffs, and end up starving to death—-a much worse and way more painful way to die than a well-placed shot. Though I am not a fan of hunting, I do see the reasoning behind it (though I still do not like it). However, all I ask is that those who do hunt be humane. Respect the animal. Respect the life of the animal. Respect yourself, ffs. Make sure you’re skilled enough to deliver clean shots that drop the animal quickly and reduce pain and suffering. If your s**t isn’t clean, then respect that animal enough to put them out of their misery, even if you have to stay out in the woods hours longer than originally planned. And as for bow hunting, you better f*****g well be an expert, or abandon it altogether. I cannot tell you how many dead deer I have passed on back roads who have arrows sticking out of their bellies—-meaning it took a good long while for them to die, panicked, in great pain, bleeding internally, losing consciousness, and not understanding why. Many of those dead deer I have seen looked like does and not bucks, so what about their babies? Animals have families too, you know. So please be a conscientious hunter who greatly respects the animals you hunt, and be damned sure you reduce their suffering as much as you can. Otherwise you are guilty of grievous cruelty and should be forced to switch places with a deer, rabbit, ducks, or whatever other animals you hunt.

    An arrow fired by a bow has too much energy to "stick out" of the belly, I've been bow hunting since I was 12 and I've never seen that happen, they usually go straight through the deer like a bullet unless it his a large bone like a shoulder blade, then the arrow breaks. So my guess is this person is full of BS on that regard. You shoot does for population control, by hunting season their fawns are grown up and mostly on their own. The DNR in my state encourages hunters to take does as they offer the best population reduction.Also hunting is not a blood sport that's pretty damn offensive. Lastly any animal taken by a hunter has a much cleaner stress free and painless death than any other way the animal would die naturally, either killed by predators so ripped apart, killed by a car which is hardly ever quick or disease which I think we all understand how awful that would be Hunters care about wildlife more than any other group, they bring in more money for habitat than any group.

    It's almost like gun nuts who scream about their right to hunt don't have any respect for anyone else's land. I bet if you hunt on that guy's land, you'll end up shot. You may end up shot anyway. This guy is starting to come unhinged.
