so here is the story at my lease I have 2 neighbors. In which one i had a run in last gun season when he informed me i can't hunt the land that don't belong to him because it was to close to his house. Ok fast forward to this year i have 3 stands and 3 cameras running.we hunt the lease Saturday and Sunday sometimes never threw the week. So every time I pull cards on Saturday morning walking in gives me something to look at before daylight well only pictures I get is Friday night and early Saturday morning before we get there. I told my hunting buddy something is up fast forward to last weekend same situation. We are still seeing deer so my buddy said he was going to go hunt Monday well all makes since now he said before daylight someone walked in headed straight to the satnd he was in he flashed his light and he turned around and left. I informed my buddy to move all camera get them high and watch the stands from a distance and try to catch this guy. Now I just got to figure out which neighbor it is which I'm pretty sure I know who it is I just need evidence. I am going over there Friday morning in hopes he tries to come hunt one of my stands so I can catch him red handed. Wish me luck it may get ugly

Have you seen the video of someone rigging a trip wire to a paint gun? Guys eases into his spot in the dark and gets paint blasted. He has a camera recording it all. It's hilarious.
 
Don't go after him for trespassing, go after the 'hunter harassment' approach. Trespassing is tougher to prosecute on leased land, but if he is doing anything to interfere or hinder your hunting, harassment charges will cause him more grief.
 
I'd set a camera hidden higher up overlooking a camera that is at standard height or get a cheap cell cam so if he is erasing pictures it would already be sent to your phone but I know that has to be infuriating for sure and if I was walking in thinking he was in the stand I would most definitely have my phone out video recording the situation so everything would be well documented
 
Yes good point be careful going in Friday morning he could be already sitting in the stand your planning on hunting in when you get there
 
Sounds like this character noticed that you never hunted weekdays and is taking advantage of that. The best way to combat that is to start taking off random days during the week to hunt. Be there at any time. It's amazing the nerve some people have with hunting somebody else's land when they think they won't get caught. Last year I had some peckerwood put up a tripod stand out in the middle of my largest field on a hill where you could see it from literally half a mile away right after Opening day of Rifle season. I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw it on about Tuesday morning that week. A log chain and a long drag behind a pickup truck put and end to that crap real fast.
 
I have left notes in stands or if on a border situation placed posted signs around the stand or if known, where the fellow is entering the property. The landowner would seem to have some responsibility in helping with keeping trespassers off.
 
Are you for sure it's actually one of your neighbors? I have several neighbors and have umpteen trespassers from all over trying to come onto my property at all times. Regardless I suppose, I hope you catch them!

No I'm not positive its one of my neighbors just a gut filling. I have talked to game warden he said all I got to do is catch him with a weapon on my lease and they would charge him with trespassing and hunting on private property. He did say the trespassing is a $300 fine and hunting on private property he would loose his license for a year.
 
To have a problem the first time last year. I may have missed something in your post but did something change last year that it became an issue hunting near his house?
 
Think I'm going over this evening to hunt maybe I will run into him.

Nothing has changed he moved in 2 or 3 years ago and started having trouble last year.

Me and a buddy did the 2nd camera trick a few years ago. We put the 2nd camera on video mode and used a ladder to get it on a limb the trespasser (sorry SOB) couldn't get to unless he brought in a ladder or chain saw. Took less than a week to catch him and our local police dept was happy to help and even identified the guy. He stole 1 stand and 3 cameras. The 3rd camera was an old moultrie that didn't work any longer used as a decoy. Been 4 years and haven't seen him again. Good luck to you and hope you catch him. Nothing worse than someone invading a spot you go to relax and de stress!!!!!!
 
Good luck catching him. Keep cable locks on all my cams. Kinda figured if we ever had such an issue, would put up a dummy cam in plain sight and another hidden camera out of reach and sight aimed at the dummy cam to catch the trash.
 
Reminds me of when i first started hunting and leased a 100acres for cheap. I walked in one weekday morning around thanksgiving to find a young teenager in my stand. Turns out his dad knew the landowner and the landowner gave the kid permission to hunt even though i was paying. The anger i initially had walking up to the person in my stand (ready to throw down thinking he was poaching) quickly turned to the landowner. But at the end of the day it wasnt much money and we hadnt signed anything.Plus, I knew the landowner and he was bad off on drugs along with some family problems. I ended up hunting the following weekend, shot the first deer i saw, and pulled my stands. Lesson learned, don't lease hunting land from people likely on drugs or having other life problems- steer clear!

OP, i hope you catch this joker and the law does their part.
 
Well I'm here in stand and he didn't show today. I will be back in the morning to hunt in hopes to catch him. Will hang some cameras over the old cameras when it gets dark.
