Holy $#%&^*%$!??? Where's the Tylenol - ala Clark Griswald in Christmas Vacation. I've been patiently scouting in person and retrieving deer cam photos this Summer in my core hunting area which is basically my backyard - several acres of thick woods surrounded by neighbors who've given me permission to hunt during archery season.

I've been keeping my time in well-used trail areas, etc., to a minimum, and despite my best efforts, the past few nights I've been invaded by 4 wheelers.

Neighbor down the road just bought his grandson a 4 wheeeler and they come tearing through the woods on the neighbors' property to the left and the right of us. Both neighbors aren't always here as the one has a seasonal cabin and the other is building a house an not moving in til October. And so the 4 wheelers comewhen they're not around - usually in the last few hours of light and one night this week - the neighbor and his buddy came tearing in at 10:30 pm. Both times, BTW, when I've traditionally gotten lots of photos on the trail cam.

The 4 wheelers never do this when my neighbors are here and I know neither neighbor would want them doing it. The one neighbor keeps to himself pretty much. The other, building the house, told me it takes a lot of guts to do something like that when I told him and didn't seem very happy. But I doubt he'll do anything about it because it won't bug him until he moves in this fall. Again, they wait til he and the building crew leave at night to start up their off roading.

It'll be interesting to see my deer cam pics this week to see if the deer have been going through at the normal times or going totally nocturnal cause of this. Hopefully they'll keep coming through in the early morning at least when the 4 wheelers are in bed or at school.

BTW, I know they come down our driveway when we're at work cause there's 4 wheeler tracks on the driveway, AFTER I put several NO TRESPASSING signs up at the entrance a few nights ago.

I know the neighbor who does the 4 wheeling. He plows our driveway with his skidloader in the winter and he's a nice guy. He probably doesn't think he's doing anything wrong but then again, why does he only go on people's land when they're not there?

I'm thinking about putting my trail cam on a tree pointed down the driveway so I get some pics of them in action. I am teed off but I've always found the best course of action is to settle down before you talk to someone. I'm going to think about what I'll say to him and if it keeps up, head over there to talk to him about it and explain to him that although I can't keep him off my neighbors land, please refrain from driving all over mine when I'm not here or I will call the police and show them the photos.
