Um, anyone carrying a weapon in fireing condition(always assume such), firing into a tree on MY land, wouldnt get a warning. What if he was on drugs or did have a controled substance plant growing on your property ?
I would have just shot him. Who knows what he was capable of. Also, I have no idea what a Bamboo tree means in slang, but I know what bamboo is. Id call the Police and let them know what transpired and that you fear that this gentleman may have planted a controled substance on your land. Also, reference your immediate phone call to the DNR.
I would wait until after the season, just so those cops dont trample through your huntin' woods and run off your next Booner !!
My ahts off to you, that was a mature decision, I would have just let him have it after seeing him fire randomly into a tree, and ESPECIALLY after what he said about leaving after he checks his freakin tree.
My land=him dead !!
Even though its illegal in IN I normally have my handgun on stand with me on my land. I didn't today because I was in a hurry to get into the woods. If I had had my gun with me I almost definitley would have held him into the police got there. But seeing as I was 20 ft up a tree with nothing but I bow I was trying to avoid confrontation. Just awhile ago I called the sheriff (he's a family friend). And he sayed there had been another call about a trespasser carrying a gun just down the road from my land. So hopefully the police will pick him up since it appears that he is on foot it shouldn't be to hard to find him.
