RE: near trespasing
I have had my fill of this type of 'hunter' and others who go even further. This past wekend, I didn't see the number of deer I normally do from an area, so I did some investigating to find out why. i found 1 stand located very similar to the one described here, soI politley turned it the other direction, facing away from our property--with a note. Then I went the other direction and found where the same guy had placed a stand(climber) on our lease, facing and on the edge of the same clearcut that I hunt. I took all the pins out of his stand, and hid it, and will be placing some posted signs immediately in the proximity of his stands, along with a couple of cards I got from a DNR officer.In case some one wants to ask how I know it is the 'same guy'---it is the exact same brand stand, wit teh exact same camo duct tape on the rest, and the exact same rope that is on th estand to pull up his gun, on the exact same creek bottom, just about 500 yards apart. Add to that , I checked, and noone on our club uses or hung these stands.We have 700 acres, and they have 3500. Their are stands all up and down the property line just like this---talk about greedy! These same guys run dogs the last 2 weeks of each season---no dog hunting in this county, and they ride around on 4 wheelers, with radioes, after about 9:30 am, and about 20 minutes before dark. Slob hunters to say the least.
