Axiom I could care less who shoots what deer IF they are hunting on property they are allowed to be on .
Amen !!

A few seasons ago, I was in my stand on opening day of archery season. A little after first light I see a guy coming through. I let him know I was there and that he was on private land (he knew it, he crossed the signs).

He told me he shot a doe and was looking for her. I got down and helped him look for over and hour, no luck. I ended up finding his deer a few days later, though.

Anyway, we exchanged numbers and eventually became close friends. Later that season, I was heading out for a bow hunt and was really torn between 2 stands. I was hunting a split G-2 buck, along with a few others, but, I really had high hopes for the split G-2 because he was very visible. Well, I make my decision based on the wind and weather. Figuring they would hit the cut corn early as they'd been doing on colder evenings, I went to the crops instead of the acorn stand.

Well, a few hours after, I get a text from this guy that he shot the split G-2. Ironically enough, he watched this deer cross by my stand by merely YARDS. He grunted to him, he crossed the property line and soon came into bow range. He put the smack down.

I got out of my stand, AGAIN, and helped him track and drag the deer out. I was so happy for him. I wanted that deer, and, could have had him if I chose the other stand, BUT, it almost felt like I got him, myself, when he took him. Couldnt be happier. I ended up dropping the hammer on a giiiiiiiiant, later that year. I call him the Karma buck and I'm happy how it worked out.
 
i fired two shoots over guys riding quads through my property..they yelled out "don't shoot no more"..then i yelled .."then stay the f**k off my property..guess what..i have had NO more ATV riding through my property..i guess the word spread quickly..the piney is crazy..[hihi][hihi]
 
these days, as an old fashioned ass whooping would probably be a better deterrence than the fine, but the tough asses who think its OK to break the law would be the first one to call the cops when they got their asses kicked

Unfortunately I can’t argue with that.. It’s too true… However, I am not for the Automatic calling of the cops on someone who is just out pursuing game and who otherwise means no harm… A respectful and POLITE warning in most cases is all that is needed.. If you catch them again, well.......
 
I get trespassers every 6 day. "I know your neighbor" "I hunted here for 25yrs" "No posted signs".

I really dont care. They are once a year hunters that hunt Monday and Saturday. I am not gonna spend time trying to find out if they are really friends of my neighbor or if they did just wander over from the next farm. I never had anything stolen and never found someone in one of our stands. Let em hunt 2 days a year. Good luck to them.
 
WRONG! The right way to deal with a trespasser is to log on to NJH and gripe about it. duh!
I wouldl rather read this thread than the

thousand that have been posted , hit the biggest buck of my life and cant find him
