RE: Mandingo!!!
You made the right call. Nothing pisses me off more than someone hunting out of my stand. It's wrong, plain and simple. Do some people just have no etiquette?. I'm glad you bagged him for trespassing. A lot of people just can't figure out what those big yellow signs mean. He for sure will never forget. Maybe he'll let his friends know the less than positive outcome from breaking the law. If not you've at least sent the message home with him.

RE: Mandingo!!!
Proper thing to do? Hmm would have probably asked him to leave in person.
I would think this would have been effective.
Turning him in...ballsy indeed, and not that you were wrong..but looking over your back, for the next year or so, don't seem worth it. He will most likely make an attempt at getting back at you. Steal your stands in the dark, poach your quality bucks, Throw human scent bombs by your stand on opening day..either way the risk may not be worth the reward of "nailing him"!

Screw him. He deserves it. As some of you may have read, my buddies and I had 5 stands stolen this year and I put this guy in the same category.
You trespass, you pay the price. You hunt someone else's stand you should get a beatin'.
You did the right thing not approaching him. Let the law handle it. Last thing you need is a shoot out like the wild west. (although if you win it could be fun)
GOOD JOB!!

RE: Mandingo!!!
Bad,
I never look over my back unless I'm hunting deer.
If he decideds to get even for him breaking the law, I will deal with that as it manifests itself. I didn't want to confront him myself because I have a bad temper and one foul word and it would have been on. Then I could have been on the wrong side of the law.
