My wife, brotherinlaw and I went scouting a new areawhere I huntlast night abouttwo hours before sunset. AnywayI am following this trail that I thought was a well used deer trail.I came into a little opening deep into the woods and there in frontof usare a bunch of those big rubber storgae containers surrounded by chicken wire fence.I am noyexpert but it looked like tons of huge marijuanna plants growing in these bins.We turned around and high tailed it out of there. I can't be positive of what it was and do not want to ruin my hunting ares nor do i want any trouble. Not sure if I should notify the authorities. I am not a rat but i feel like these poeple are ruining one of th eonly good hunting areas near me. What would you guys do?
Longislandhunter,
Just some quick questions for you. The area that you were scouting, was it in Wading River on the old Navy Co-op property parking area spot # 2? Was it over the walk bridge and to the right, that leads to the Brookhaven National Labs? If so, this has been going on since 1984-1999 prior to moving to WV.
I have notified the DEC at the Ridge Check Station every year, and it seems that all they do is remove the plants every year and I never hear about anyone getting caught.
Do what you think is best.
