No offense meant but you have no idea what you are talking about.. My guess is that you don't own your own land or that you are a youngster in your teens or twenties who has more testosterone than brains at this young point in your life.
Your vigilante revenge attitude will do nothing but get you sued in a major way that would probably result in your insurance company denying your claim and your neighbor eventually owning your property.
If your neighbor tracks a deer onto your land and gets hurt by a booby-trap you've set, he can, and will, sue the living crap out of you and will win. And that might be the least of your worries as prison time might also be in the cards.
You'd probably end up on the front page of google news with that stunt...
NEWS FLASH: Ten year old boy looking for his lost 3 legged dog dies due to vigilante neighbor setting death traps on his property..
Does that set off any warning lights for you?
***FYI Flags is a 50 year old gentleman in the Armed Services in VA at the present time and is a CO native. Putting (losing, hehe!) a piece of wood down with nails in it on your own property like he mentioned isn't going to get him in trouble if someone else comes on there illegally since there is no way they would be able to prove it was there intentionally to do any harm to them or anyone else. I had a guy living next to my 20 acre hunting parcel up north back in the 80s that put up a makeshift fence along the property line using pieces of trees and he ran it wherever he felt like to gain property and take a blind of mine that was on my property. One day when I knew he and the wife were gone I tore the whole thing down and I never heard a word from him or had any more problems when he got the message that I was not going to screw around with his stupid, illegal antics!
