I have no doubt that this a true story.. Some people have no respect at all of other peoples property. They have no respect of anyone else hunting either. They only care about themselves and there own personal greed.
Here is something that I stumbled on by accident yesterday.. There is a section of gated road that a paper company owns. They keep it gated once the snow hits the ground until mud season is over with. Yesterday I drove up to the gate and it was open. No problem I thought and decided to drive up threw and see what the turkey situation would be like. This roughly 45 miles of gated road. I drove up around 30 miles on it and turned around. I noticed a pick up truck parked by a locked gate and 2 hunters were walking I stopped and asked them how come the gate was still locked there.. They had no idea as of why. Later on I met a company pickup and we stopped and talked for a couple of minutes. He informed me that some one else had left the gate open by accident. I told them I was sorry to have drove up not knowing about it supposed to be locked.
Here is the rest of the story. The company truck had 2 workers in it and to other people on back of the truck with shotguns and all. I am debating about reporting this action by these guys. I do know it is illegal to shoot game from a truck.. But, that I did not see them doing.. I just saw them riding in there like that and telling me the gate was supposed to be locked still. It would be different IMO if the working crew drove in and happened to get a turkey. That is a completely different story.. So I do not know whether to say anything or just pretend I did not see this.. After all they open their land up for all to use. Perhaps if I told the company what is going on they would stop these so called workers from doing this?? I am just not sure about what to do. I did drive up to the gate today and it is now locked back up..
