I personally would turn him in and then I would call him and tell him that I was the one that did it. Then if he ever bothered me in the woods I would kick his teeth down his throat and claim that he assaulted me for turning me in and I was only defending himself. Or you could call him out on a call one night and then have some girl that you know call his house the next day and tell his wife that he was really with her. Or and this is a good one and not even illegal. Utility companies never ask for ID whan they get a shut off order. Call his local utility company and have his electric shut off and he will come home to a little surprise one afternoon. There are always options. Be a man and turn him in. If he decides to play dirty then play dirty back. No one is above the law.

I KNOW WHT I WOULD DO. FIRST I WOULD GO AND TAKE THE FILM FROM THE CAMERA. REALLY SEE WHATS OUT THERE THEN I WOULD TURN HIM IN.

HUNT ON HUNT HARD EAT WELL

I wouldn't assume anything without talking to the DNR officer and asking him if the stand belongs to him. Also mention, but do not accuse him about the bait pile. If he says yes, I would tell him to talk directly to the land owner because as there may be some type of miscommunication about his permission to hunt the land. Or have the land owner call him to remove the stand.

I would work with the farmer on getting that stuff out of there. Then I would make a report with the farmer to the DNR that there was a stand and game cam over a bait pile on the farmer's property without the farmer's permission. This way, you look like a good samaritan for helping to uphold the law, you haven't accused anyone, and you can safely hunt the spot. The DNR officer can't get mad at you because after all, he was breaking the law with the bait pile as well as tresspassing and you were just being a good citizen.

Silent, you crack me up.<img src=icon_smile_big.gif border=0 align=middle>

First thing I would do is make sure I knew exactly whose stand it was before accusing anyone of the situation. Whoever it is needs to be turned in but I am not sure that I would go against the landowners wishes as far as what he wanted to do about the situation.

I wouldn't worry about the DNR officer. He can't do anything to you unless you break the law. Let him check your license, your game, your gear whatever he wants. After a while of finding nothing, he'd back off.

I'd take some pictures of his stand, camera and bait pile. Make copies and give a set to the officer. Explain that you want no trouble as I'm sure he doesn't either! He'll get the point.

I can't believe that nobody has given the obvious best answer.

Take the bastards camera and hunt out of his stand. He'll never admit to it belonging to him. I would move the bait pile though.



I'll take good luck over skill any day!

Bingo! This is awsome in theory, but in reality it is unlikely and will probably backfire. The fact is, the land owner is the one who should report this trespassing/ illegal hunting on his land to the appropriate authorities. Your bro should tell the land owner that &quot;he'd like to show him where he is going to set up so that there is no confusion where he'll be hunting, and he'll be happy to keep an eye on the land for him&quot;. Let the dust settle and get ready for a great season on low-pressure land.

P.S.: If anyone else has read read Silentassasins post/response...he's a loose cannon.
