Default RE: Ever run into a Tresspasser?

I sure have. Its never been a good experience. The problem is that the people that you want to keep off, don't care if its posted or not. I currently have a guy fighting a poaching on posted property charge.(to my knowledge, while attempting his second deer from my property) I expect he'll get off. The reason being is that the signs have faded somewhat since hunting season ended and he's claiming he has photos of signs(s) that don't have dates. At this time, that may be true since we don't maintain the signs after hunting season is over. It was posted every 50ft with fresh signs w/ dates right before hunting season, so I know they were in good shape when he tresspassed. Ironically, I don't even think his photo(s) are from the area where he crossed into the property. I think he just walked the property line until he found one that was questionable. Just another dishonest hunter that's messing it up for everyone else.

Every other person I caught was "I didn't see the signs" and when you follow their tracks back , they go right up under a sign where there is no possible way it could have been missed.

There seems to be a good number of folks that really don't care.
