RE: 30-Official Team Dirty 30 Thread
I forgot to mention that on the way out in the morning I heard a four wheeler. As I stood on the road in the field a man came driving up out of the woods I was just in on a 4wheeler followed by his dog. He saw me and came to a stop next to a thicket in the field. I walked up to him and asked him if he was supposed to be there. He said he didn't know, he was just on the way to the store. I told him that this was private property and we were hunting and would appreciate it if he stayed off the property. Then his dog barked and a small doe jumped out of the thicket next to us, about 15 yards away. He left, in a meandering way, and I went to eat lunch at the farmhouse. My buddy and I are sitting on the porch eating and we hear the 4 wheeler come back and then turn off. We go look and he is sitting in the woods looking at the house (he has a white hooded sweater on so he's easy to spot). We follow the trails around and behind him and walk up to him as he's watching the house. About 10 yards from him I let out a loud: "I thought we told you to get off this land!" He jumped a mile. We got into a lengthy discussion with him admitting to several instances of criminal trespass and a lame excuse of chasing a mountain lion. We eventually got him to leave after discussions of calling police. He said he had jumped several deer on his way in this morning. [:@] Like we'd be happy to hear about that bit of info. This is an absentee farm so it has a lot of people tresspassing. We are trying to convince my friend's father to allow us to cable off the roads and trails and post the property. But even with all this activity we still see a bunch of deer and it has plenty of funnel areas.
