Yup.. here too... We also have a speed limit of 70mph on the highways.. at 71mph, you're breaking the law..


In a perfect world with a sterile bubble in your little corner, that might be a great idea... But we don't live in that bubble.. Ok, I guess some people think they do, but reality is different.
Oh, and I should point out that if its "a neighbor", then yes, you should already have permission.. In fact, you should have a relationship with them that transcends needing explicit permission.



Right! You go ahead and do that and let me know what happens ok?
I'll bet money the trespasser goes home with his deer and that's the end of it.
Game Wardens are not your personal hit squad when someone wrongs you unintentionally in a minor way. And I stress the word unintentionally meaning that they're just there to recover their kill. Not hunting, not casually strolling around to see what you have.. but actively following a blood trail...


I can't count the number of times I have seen people call the police on a neighbor trespassing for one reason or another... And in all cases where no damage or malicious act was committed, did I ever see anyone get arrested or ticketed.
Game wardens have important duties.... placating an unreasonable land owner is not among them. (And yes, I am a land owner myself who is surrounded by corn fields and forested areas in a very low density populated area)


I literally find it comical at how possessive, protective and down right zealous you folks are about your little pieces of dirt...
Getting all worked up over something so mundane and inconsequential as another person being on your property..

It makes me wonder if people are like that because they have nothing else in their life that is important.

Let me repeat,,,

And people wonder why there are so many nightmare neighbors these days...
You can take any attitude you want... its your land for sure.. I'd bet money that you have one more more neighbors that are always a problem for you.. Trust me, its not them who is the problem.. its you that are a problem for them. And yes, you have every right to be that problem if you wish.

I've been friends with every neighbor I have ever lived near my entire life... and the neighbors next to them, and usually the neighbors next to those...

But to each his own... Good luck with your attitude... You certainly have every right to it.
