That's my 3year olds big "bad word."

So hunting has slowed down a lot for me. Work/school/kid/wife/dogs/etc.

I had a problem in the early season with trespassing. I found a grunt call at my stand. So I post the land (10acres) and haven't had a problem since, until last night.

I used my climber and go up about 30' to see the next ridge. I'm in there about 4:00pm. Well about 4:45pm I hear something. I look back and see this guy sneaking into my stand. (My ladder stand is on the other tree about 50yds away but I used my climber to see more area.) And he comes on in looks around and has a seat in my stand. I'm mad![:@] And I thought about slinging and arrow by him or in him. But I decided against that. So I sit there for about 15 min. Mad as hel.
My next step may upset some of ya'll. Sorry but this is what I did!
I get down and walk right by him. He doesn't move. So I go to the truck and call the law. I figure he will leave if I don't so I found his truck and used some needle nose pliers and pulled his vavle stem out of his front tire. So I know he's stuck! Then I leave. I go up the road about 3 miles and wait for the law.
The law comes by and ask's whats up. I tell them and follow them to the truck. He is still in my stand!!! The law ******s him to his truck and writes him a ticket. Ask's me if I want to press charges and I say yes. We give info to the law, then we leave.
This am I go by there and his truck is still there but he ain't. So I called to have it towed away. AT 9:00am this am, the towing co. called me and said as they were leaving with his truck he came by riding with another person and was raisin hel to get his car off the lift. The towing guy told him it would be $150.00 to drop the truck there or he could come get it at the garage and it would be $200.00 Well he don't have the money on him so he has to get it later for $200.00

Ticket=$200.00
Towing= $200.00
Going to court=?$

Getting revenge= PRICELESS!!

SWEET!!!! Hopefully he is not one of those vengeful folks, but I bet he won't be trespassing anymore.

Dittoes Mandingo! That boy just learned a HARD lesson. Like the politicians do, hit em' in the pocket and you gottem'.

The guys a jerk. How can someone tresspass sit in another guys stand and then enjoy his hunt?

Was your address on the ticket,that he got? You might want to set up a video camera around the house or a trail cam if it was, you never know. He might want some pay back on your vehicle.

I think you went at it the RIGHT WAY. I guarentee that guy will never sit in your stand again! Serves him right. He knows he was doing something wrong. Good for you!!!!!

j

Um-well-my "old" address was given to the law as I have recently moved
That wasn't intentional

Good for you. The jerk deserves what he got and than some. Dabow

You did good. Only thing is, you might want to make sure your mail gets forwarded to your new address cause if he fights the ticket the law officer will need your testimony in court.

***Ninety-five percent of the time they just pay the ticket. Well, thats probably not correct either. Part of the time they pay the ticket, sometimes they just ignore it until it turns into a warrant for their arrest!

That's awesome!!! Good job!

Serves him right, plus, you refrained from physical violence
