That's a pretty unique situation. Best stay out of it for this season, I'd say check back next year.

2nd vote for stay out of the middle of it, the last thing you want is to upset either landowner and be locked out entirely.

Yeah, that was my thought as well.

Know any local surveyors? Hell, you can even look at tax maps and find the boundary line.

No idea. I took down my stand and got out of the whole situation. It’s a bummer but I don’t want to be caught in the middle of this property dispute. The land is a big piece and no where near any development, so it’s not like I was hunting near this Massachusetts persons new house. If anything, their getting ready to have it logged.

The guy who gave me permission to hunt there said that he walked the property pins himself and that my stand was squarely on his land but I still don’t want to be caught in the middle of the whole mess, so I’m out lol. I feel bad that I may have given hunters a bad name making this person from Mass think I was hunting without permission but there’s nothing I can do about it. I tried to do everything the right way.

There is an "app" for your phone that realtors frequently use - I've spaced the name, but google it. They have a seven day free trial that works without hassles. As a former tax assessor, I've tested it around my area - seems spot on. That is, if you want to know what is registered with your town office...

No! Do not rely on tax maps for property lines. The lines on tax maps are approximations. Very likely the cause of the dispute between the hunter friendly landowner and the "no hunting" jerk.

My tax map actually says I own 10 more acres than I really do…

Well yeah I wouldn’t rely, but it gives you a general idea of where to look for a pin or a blazed line.
