Hunting fence/property lines is usually done but lazy people who would rather cut corners to achieve their goals at the expense of those around them. Property owners have the obligation to be stewards of the land and respect those around them. Land stewardship ensures that the property will be in better shape than what they found it in when they obtained it, so the next in line, whether it be a son or daughter or a potential buyer, will be encouraged to continue where you left off. This not only applies to maintaining the property but the relationships of those surrounding you. Poor practices, such as fence line hunting, may lead to more problems down the road. A common example is when the neighboring property changes hands and the new owners have a different view of fence line hunters and, where applicable, could deny them their usual right-away into their property if not accessable by a public road. Proper land owners will not fence line hunt, instead they will utilize interior sections of their property to install food plots and water supplies. With this, you can control how the animals enter your property and the angle in which you will take the shot. This method will also reduce the chances of you accidentally shooting your neighbor, their family members or livestock, as they enjoy their property. While hunting a fence line may be legal, it certainly isn't the smartest or safest practice either. It basically equates to a young driver stepping on the gas as soon as the light turns green instead of pausing a few seconds in anticipation of red light runners.
