I went!

[MUP]

First time this season! And what did I see? 1 button, a newly constructed walking bridge, just across the property line over the little creek that runs off my place, that the recent owners have decided to make a walking track around the perimeter of their property for. So much for being in the back of my property "away" from everyone now. And then I came out at dark and decided I needed to drive down the front entrance and check for downed trees, and I found two different groups of trees across the road, so a little chainsawing by headlights and that was taken care of, then I see...a freaking chair sitting in front of one of my TCAMS..... I know who did this, and it's an ongoing thing with this trespassing wannabe entitled punk. I think it's time to get the game warden on this and cost him some money. Anyway, it was great to finally get to sit in the stand, even tho I was probably being spied on.

Did any spying deer find you?

 

[Lost Lake]

Glad you at least got to go out!

Even the button veered away!

Oh, I thought the trespasser or the bridge neighbors left you a button like from a coat or shirt.

 

[backyardtndeer]

Glad you got out. Hope you get the trespasser problem taken care of.

 

[Crappieaddict]

Looks like you have a beautiful place.

 

[TNTreeman]

I'm off this week and plan to be out there, coming in from different directions so as to not announce my presence to those who may think I'm not in there.

What's the deal with the chair by the trail camera? That's awfully strange. Any more details on what you think is going on

There's a punk in the family, not blood related, that thinks he has to hunt everyone's property and tree stands before any of the rest of us have a chance to get out there. It's already contributed to my lifelong buddy/cousin giving it up on his property out there. The "Dad" would call or text us the day before asking if we were hunting the next day, and where we were going to hunt at, just so the boy could hunt somewhere on our property. The thing is, his Dad owns 30+ acres of his own, and it's the prime hunting property of all the properties out there, yet my cousin and I have killed some good bucks on our land, and he apparently thinks he has the run of the entire parcel of everyone's property out there and sneaks into to our stands when we're not out there. The rub for me is that, as with most I would think who take choosing your stand seriously, I want to hunt each stand I have with high priority to the wind direction, and don't want someone in there blowing the deer out and alerting them to human presence, so we would have a fresh stand and area to hunt when we go, but that's out with this guy, he goes all over the place with his climber, which I've found on my place before. I took it out and dropped it off at his house and told him to stay away from my area, and that time in particular was the day before juvy season and I wanted to take my daughter to my best stand location the next day, but he'd already been in there walking all over and pretty much had no activity the next day for her. The chair, imo, was a slap in the face, as I see your camera and I'll leave this chair here to mess with you, or likely just sitting in it to hunt the road crossing down below it. Either way I'm done hoping he'll wise up and become respectful of others and their hunting area bc it's ingrained in him by his Dad that he can hunt anywhere and on anyone's property he wants to of the entire family parcel.

Call the game warden and if he has been verbally told to stay off your land he can be prosecuted.

I sure hate to do that, but it's way past old dealing with this from him. It's bad enough with outside trespassers and poachers to have to deal with one that's out there constantly.

Stop being nice..that's one of the reason he acts this way.

You should have kept the stand and sold it.
