    does anyone have any trespasser stories to share? I had to run off a couple of kids walking the creek taking target practice a week or so ago. They didn't mean any harm just a couple of kids killing time and playing around like we used to do.

    I've had a few hillbilly mushroom hunters and a few 4 wheeler kids but other than that no big deal. I don't want them on the property but I realize there's nothing I can do to stop them when I'm not there. I just said if you see any vehicles here please stay off the property because we are likely shooting, hunting, or camping but if you don't see us here you can walk or ride around but don't damage anything or litter. If I go that route I'm hoping they will either just not come around or if they do they will see that I can be reasonable and they won't do anything malicious.

    Have had numerous encounters with people saying theY lost, which they weren't, stopped somebody on a four wheeler they said they are going to turn around then sped off into the dust, trail camera stolen, truck pulled into our field said he was cutting off a big buck, and many more.

    this season and i have too 3x...have not gotn a good shot opportunty, so next to NO pressure...go there today and put out apples and corn to get ready for
    wife to hunt both weekend days and i noticed that my blind windows that were closed are open and opend ones are closed, so i
    open up the door and see that our chairs are there,but moved and primos shootn sticks are layn on the ground....
    ask land owner about it and he says that said friend was back there huntn 2 days this wk....i am about to come out of my skin...
    dont know this guy, is he a scent free nut like we are, why did he take it upon himself to hunt another hunters setup to try
    to capitalized on what apples and corn was left from last wk...what a SLOB hunter to hunt in another hunter blind and setup...he does not want to run in with me, if i catch him hell is going to open up.....checkd cards from both cameras and now it looks like deer have went to late afternoon to nites...hardly any day movement....thanks you SLOB, hope karma comes back and bites you

    If I started typing now I'd be dead of old age before I could tell of all the trespassing I have had to deal with. It will be the reason I quit hunting.

    prosecute every one, no exceptions and your problem goes away.
