[quote=cecil30-30]What does a man have to do to be able to get a baiter busted?? I posted a few weeks ago,or more,about how a guy across the creek has a 2 man ladder stand up in his feild with a 5gal bucket feeder hanging from a limb about 50 yds in front of his stand..Now I don't know if anything is in it,but it seems to me that it would be content to bait even if nothing was in it..I know it wasn't there during bow season,cause i've been through that area during that time,and looked in the field,and neither the feeder or stand was up..I noticed it up a little before gun season..

Now im not one to complain,but how in the heck am I supposed to compete with a baiter or bait for that matter?? It gives the baiter an unfair advantage..If it was leagl,i'd do it,but its not,and therefore I follow the laws set forth by TWRA...But i do expect them to enforce their laws..

I called several times to my local WO,and he tried to get back to me 1 time if I remember correctly,I work 3pm to 11pm,he called while I was at work,he didn't leave a number he could be reached at..So I called him back and left my number and what times Im reachable..He never called back..Then he sets up on me, and tries to bust me hunting illegally with a rifle during bow season..(the bow season between the 2 gun seasons)I posted on that also,he said someone told him i was hunting with a gun during bowseason..He parked down the road and waited for me to come out of the woods that evening,and then surpised me by my truck..Little does he know i obey all game laws put forth by TWRA..

It resulted in a nice long talk and me informing him of the baiter,and I gave directions how to get to it from the proprty I hunt,(pretty straight foward) I even offered to take him anyday of the week before 3pm or anytime on the weekend..He said that if he didn't call me to show him that it meant that he went on his own..I watched the mudd holes and gravel to the place I hunt,I see it everyday,and nobody was in nor out of it for the whole week..So it has come to my conclusion that he never went to check it out..And yesterday I walked back to it and looked across the feild and both stand and feeder is up..

If he did go,you would have thought that he would have atleast made them take the feeder down even if there was no feed in it?? Would you think? Sorry for the long read,but it just burns me up..I know TWRA and WO are busy,but dang its been over a month ago.

I have extra stands I am the only one hunting my lan and it is my buisness what I do.

Not if cecil's your neighbor.
