I bought 12 acres in NE Ohio in July and moved from central Texas to here. One thing that is new to me, are the Amish. Some seem pretty nice and cool, others seem... entitled? Not sure, never dealt with them before. All of my neighbors seem to despise them.
I bought the property for the land. Not real big to hunt on, but something I've always wanted, land to recreate on.
The guy who hunts my neighbors land came up to me about 10 days ago, and told me the Ahmish land owners behind my property put up a tree stand, right on our property lines. I went out the next day, and sure enough, right on the property line. And I mean, right on it, facing our properties, 20 feet up a tree, 20 feet off the property line. The only place they can shoot from their location - is across my property line - unless they shoot vertically straight down. I have no trespassing and no hunting signs up on that section of the line.
I have not given permission for anyone to hunt my land. 4 Ahmish dudes came to my door in September asking, and I said no. Don't know if it's the same people.
Ethically, if this was a not Ahmish group, I would go find their home and ask them to move it 50-100 yards back. But, they don't live on this land, they don't have a phone number that I am aware of.
I put up game cameras to watch, but beyond that, I'm not sure what I can do.
How should I approach this situation? Back in Texas, it was a big issue if you intentionally shoot across property lines. The game wardens would sometimes get involved. Hunters there generally respected property lines and no trespassing signs.
