One thing I've learned is if you don't utilize, fence and post your land....Others will use it for you.

That, and people are nuts, Lol.

That's the thing. It is fully utilized and posted.We hunt the woods, cut firewood there, use the cabin for small gatherings and such, the feild is farmed and we have a lease with the windmill company as some of their grounding system is on our property line.

This farm is large and are used to being able to throw their weight around. They own the feild on the lower side (which they bought from my wifes family when they sold the farm) and a relative of theirs (who is a retired game warden) owns the other field that they work.

We have had other problems with them in the past. Most notably they told my brother in law that he was not allowed to hunt our property during gun season because they leased out the hunting rights on most of their other properties and they want this area to themselves during gun season. I gave him a piece of my mind over that. They bullied my brother in law into moving his stand to a different part of the property then they built a permanent elevated shooting house on the property line overlooking our trail into the cabin. It is a deer superhighway.

Put in the lease all hunting rights remain with owner.

I cut down and cleaned up a pine tree on the neighbors yesterday. I had permission though. Those red pins up root a lot and many are leaning my direction and the wind direction makes them all fall north east.

I need them down before I put a fence in. There are many more but I have not spoke with the neighbor about any other specific trees and wont touch them untill its clear. Its to muddy as i found out yesterday to get to involved in it now. Neighbor is a nice guy but his kids, wife, guests, and contractors have caused some small issues. I dont want to drop the cash to put the fence in but think the piece of mind will be worth it. And I believe he will split the cost if we can agree on the type of fencing.

In Ohio and in many other states, neighbors can clear various widths along the property line, onto to the adjoining neighbor's property, to put in and maintain a fence. In Ohio the width is 10' with more being allowed if trees are likely to fall on the fence from farther away.

Your neighbors may be legally allowed to clear some of your land on the border if overhanging plant growth effects their ability to farm.

Not in NY. You can go up to the property line, not an inch more. But thats not what they want anyway. They want to trade acreage with our current renters and assume use of the whole field. Jokes on them, the current renters don't have a long term lease. Its a year to year handshake deal. So they can't do it without our approval at all.
