i am sick of this
i have this jack ass that i have cought hunting my place a couple of times and kicked him off well now its goten even worse i have had 2 coon and a coyote taken out of my traps and i would bet good money that its him and i know there not pull outs blood on the ground from when they were shot so now me and the co have to go out tonight and hope he comes back
well guys its taken some time to get back but ive been held up with work fam oh yeah and court thats right we got him two nights later after i posted this me and the co who just happens to be my wifes unc went out right be for dark and set up about an hour after dark we see two flashlights come over the fence we let them walk to the first trap that i had put a road kill coon in and wouldnt you know it they took the bait well as soon as they got it out the co yells hey and the dumbass with the gun poped off a round befor the co could even get out who he was the shot wasnt even close to us i think it just scared him when we yelled and the gun went off but now they have got tresspasing stealing and shooting at a co i dont think that the last charge should be on there but it is and i dont think that they will ever be doing any thing like this again |
RE: i am sick of this
If you don,t catch him with the co, have the police trespass him from your property. All this does is give him a formal warning from the police that if he is proven to be on your property again, he can be arrested. I would then set up an infared trail cam over one of your traps. I know this can be pricey, but worth it because he'll get a stiff penalty, plus you'll still have a nice trail cam!

RE: i am sick of this
I would put up trespassers will be shot signs, the trail cam is a good idea catch him red handed. Tell the po po too lol
|
RE: i am sick of this
I would give him a left hook!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
|
RE: i am sick of this
I'd shoot him, and them throw him in the river...JUST KIDDING!!!
|
RE: i am sick of this
I agree with 100% with Johnnybravo. If you involve the law, then get pics of the guy, he is screwed. I would just make sure that you do a good job concealing your camera so as he can’t vandalize, or steal it.

RE: i am sick of this
Seriously you have to involve the police/wardens. Even put up one of those game cams(fairly cheap).IS it your land or just your hunting spot??
|
RE: i am sick of this
At least he's leaving the traps.... better than most thieves.

RE: i am sick of this
Well, secrets of a "ground bouncer"...that's what my family has titled me during season, same thing, we own 3200 acres and it's tough to keep people off of them. So, in the spring I take old fashioned harrows and flip them upside down in the driveways I don't use...during the summer grass grows up and over these and when those guys drive over them it doesn't put a hole inthe tire, it rips it apart. I also use my terracing builder and create a 2 or 3 ft deep "mote" around fileds that the ditch just runs flush with the filed..ie they can drive right in anywhere without a drive way....this is most fun when it snows, they can't see the ditch. If I see someone hunting on me without permission the first time they get a good talking to (unless there are kids there...don't ruin some kids chance to enjoy hunting becasue his dads an *******) the second time I see them I snap a digital pic, let the air out of a couple of tires and sit back and wait for the game warden...God forbid I see someone with an ATV driving on me...this is where I use nail boards..which aren't boards at all but 1/2 inch pipes with bolts running throug them

RE: i am sick of this
I'm interested to find out what all works (I have the same problem on our two sections of land with 4 gates). I like Gingerbears ideas personally.
The only thing that I have been doing that works good when I find an unattended trespassing vehicleis steal either one of the spark plugs (I always have a spark plug wrench in my back pocket for some reason - don't ask, ha ha) or I take the tires (wheel and all - I have a compressor on my truck with pneumatic jack and impact) and leave the truck sitting on rocks. Then I go and call the game warden and tell him where he can pick them up at for trespassing and poaching. Most of the time I get a great big thank you. From the game warden (ha, ha, ha) Most of the time he lets me keep the parts I took, he says it compensates me for my trouble. Some times when he doesn't catch them though (he lives several miles away) he goes home. I get out my 22-250 and perch on a spot where I can see the intruder when he comes back to try to retrieve the vehicle and pop off a couple of shots in the general direction (I couldn't ever really kill someone unless they are a mortal threat) usually within a few feet of their location, and they get lost in a hurry. Where I live the law says that anything left on a persons property for a certain ammount of time becomes the land owners (the person on who's property the "thing" was left)property. I usually use it to pay a few bills if the game warden doen't catch themby the time it becomes mine. |

Right on guy,s here,s a little trick I learned back in high school remove the valve cap place a small pebble etc in the stem put the cap on until you here air coming out suck,s when you have 4 flats lol. Or just just pull the stems for the mote my buddy had problems with people dumping junk on a laneway into the bush so he dug a mote 7'wide and 4' across coverd it with a tarp or burlap then scattered leavse what ever across the top they drive in and the front drops.He was told by the police he could be held liable if anyone was ever hurt posted or not so be careful.

RE: i am sick of this
Saw your update. Score one for the good guys!!

RE: i am sick of this
Awsome! Glad you finally caught them.

RE: I am sick of this
Glad to see it worked out. I hope he does state time. Anytime anyone takes the situation into their own hands, make sure you know the laws of your area. Vigilante justice just don't fly no more.

RE: i am sick of this
ORIGINAL: Fanofde4ever You couldn't possibly be held liable for that whether they get hurt or not. |
RE: i am sick of this
haha i'm a law student half way to becoming a "scummy lawyer" but just for the record if you start taking the law into your own hands you are playing a dangerous game. we have problems with trespassers too and the thought occured to use a nail board to take out tires and such, but we made a point to ask a DEC officer and he said we can be held liable if someone were hurt. You have to think about it this way, what if someone hits your trap and blows out a tire but it doing so they lose control, hit a tree and die. yes they are a jerk for trespassing but do you think them dying would be a proper punishment? i don't care how much you dislike trespassers, the punishment would not fit the crime. What if someone honestly gets lost and steps in your moat and breaks a leg, and cannot get out to call for help and dies? Also when you start doing things like that you might cause someone to retaliate and then when does it go too far? eventually people get hurt. These are the things that the law is usually trying to prevent, they don't want people to turn to vigilantes and take the law into their own hands.
Anyways i don't mean to sound preachy, because in my heart i have had the same thoughts and feel the same frusterations about trespassers, i just wanted to explain where the laws are coming from. Besides not all lawyers are scummy, some of them are hunters too! PS: What is the difference between a lawyer and a bucket of pond scum? the bucket haha |

RE: i am sick of this
Haha believe me you are preaching to the choir on this one, I was just explaining the rationale behind landowners being held liable. It seems like opening day we spend half the time hunting game and half the time hunting trespassers, i think for some of them it become like a game to see if they can sneak on someone's land and not get caught...drives me nuts. We usually give out one warning to stay off, but if we catch someone twice the DEC officers get involved. One time i asked a guy to step out of his truck so we could settle this like gentlemen but he drove off instead;)
