I agree with thebe nice and give them the bennifit of the doubt approach. Except for the fact they don't have permission to be there in the first place, from anyone!!! They were tresspassing before on someones land and now that you bought it they are tresspassing on your land. The intent of what they are doinghasn't changed.I bought 100+ acres of nice habitat several years ago. The first year, I had 5 people, that I know of, take shots from the road and6 seperatepeople were caught on the property itself! I was always nice but let them know they were not supposed to be there. Year 2 it was just as bad, I became the proud owner of a nice new hanging stand and several scent wicks from someplace else. Once again tryed to be nice to the ones I caught.
The next year I had had it!!!! I didn't spend much time hunting but more time checking all corners of the property for these poachers! Every time I saw anyone on the prop. or shoot onto it I had the keys handy and came ripping out of the drive (1/2 mile long) doing mach 2. Chased several people and could tell they were scared Sh*%less. The last 2 years I have not had 1 incedent.This wasn't how I would have liked to handle the situation, but sometimes you just gotta do what you gotta due.
