Flags, I'm guessing that's a typo... But figured I'd let you know that there is a "Murdy", and a "Murby" that post in this forum. The nature of their posts is night, and day.

I don't agree with Murby's methodology, but do have to agree with his logic in this debate.

Coming to a public forum and giving someone advise is one thing. Giving advice that could lead to someone being injured is another. Sorry, but I believe that the board with nails in it is a bad idea, and just plain bad advice.

If that member takes your advice they are setting themselves for potential liabilities, and you're vicariously sending them down that path.

I know that this is just a scenario, but it's something that could actually happen... Imagine that trespasser steps on those nail, and gets poked in the foot... Initially, no big deal, the idiot got a poke in his foot... Now that idiot doesn't have any health insurance, so he doesn't bother getting the foot checked out, he also hasn't had a Tetnus shot in over 15 years... Fast forward a couple of weeks, and now the idiots foot is severely infected... He still doesn't seek medical attention because he can't afford it... A another week latter the idiot is facing a foot amputation that's going to be paid for on the tax payers dime.

Like I said, it's just a scenario, but anyone who's been around any amount of time knows that crazier things have happened. Those crazy things have happened because the pieces of the puzzle were put in place before they happened.

Some more food for thought on this subject... Here in MN you "don't" need a landowners permission to recover wounded game. Someone could track game on my property no where near where that board maybe, then follow the path of least resistance I.E. a wheeler trail to leave it... What could go wrong there???

At this point I can only hope that the OP is wise enough not to take any advise that "may" cause personal, and/or property damage... It's just a bad idea...
