Anyone hear the first 15 minutes about the poor guy in Missouri having some piece of trash burn down his hunting cabin. Man that fired me up. They would put me under the jail for what I would do to them. Doesn’t sound like law enforcement is much help which isn’t surprising in those parts of the world.
 
I didn't listen to it, but there are parts of Louisiana where that used to be (maybe still is) a common occurrence. I imagine there are parts of many states like that. In the parts of Louisiana I'm referring to, it was usually over hunting rights. Timber companies would raise lease prices to a price not affordable by the people who were used to hunting there. They had built camps and had literally generations grow up hunting there. When they couldn't hunt there anymore, there would be camps burned, roads tacked, and poaching. I'm talking tens of thousands of acres that once let out that big bucks could be had there, it turned into big buck$ for big bucks.
 
Yeah this was because the land owner, who sounds like a guy committed to making the place the best he could, turned the guys in for spotlighting. Hope they suffer a cruel and painful fate

I haven’t listened to it yet but need to now. Does he mention what part of Missouri it took place in?

Yeah some county down south. Started with an s, Shannon maybe. Down in the Ozarks I believe. You could tell he was pissed and had nothing to lose now so he was gonna try to blow the whole thing up. Said he knows the Lt governor and has reached out to him. I’m proud of him for not letting those rednecks off the hook.
 
It's amazing how different the state is once you get south of 70. Up north, I could never see this happening.

Yesterday I got to my property to find the chain on the gate cut, and the shed opened up with several things I tried telling my father in law he needed to take home gone from the shed.

I figured it was down south. I’m in the far north part of the state but have lived and worked all over the state. There are parts of southern MO that are definitely pretty “outlaw”. Shannon county is definitely down south.

I don’t know where you are up north but I’m 1/2 mile from Iowa. Our Sherrif’s department is useless. I’ve caught the same guy trespassing twice and signed a complaint twice. He’s yet to be charged.

Neighbor called them during muzzleloader season and gave them a description and tag number of a truck that was parked watching his picked corn field just before dark. They gave the neighbor a hard time for following the truck because that’s not legal.

Useless or just don’t want to be bothered.
 
Most cops now would rather just hand out speeding tickets, rather then work with complaints from the commons.
 
And it is about to get much worse over the next 4 years for anyone holding a government job

Been a cop for 25 years now...There are certain crimes that just get to you...Anything involving kids I loved when the suspect would run...My canine was an awesome tracker and loved to apprehend just as much...One guy was slick and it took us four tracks to finally get him but we did...And any crime of theft/messing up peoples stuff for no reason. I hate a thief and someone who is just jealous...My only fight in high school (much different times then) I owned an old POS truck but I had a vision for that truck...I drove it and did a ton of work myself...I saved for almost a year and had it professionally painted. It was gorgeous. Charcoal gray. Anyhow I would come out of school and someone would spit on it...Happened three days in a row. I skipped school, parked my truck and used a buddies car to do surveillance. Sure enough three guys I knew came out to leave for their vo-tech training and one of them spit on it...I whipped that kids ass. His one side kick pulled me off and he took a shot to the throat too....I got called into the office and the three of them were sitting there. I told what happened and the principal asked them if that was true...They said I was lying so he told them he would watch the video...They then admitted it was true....He gave them each a detention because they all admitted to doing it the other days...I was told not to do it again and get to class...

Useless. I also think there is a bit of protectionism with their own “kind”. I already know if I have an issue where I am at I am not gonna get much help. Some absentee landowner trying to get a local boy in trouble from a cop who probably grew up with the sonofabitch and a judge who knows his mama and daddy from back in school.
 
Not to much different here in Wisco. Neighbor and I have had trespassers 3 years in a row now. The same guy keeps coming back. One guy shot a buck from an illegal drive while i was standing next to him talking to police and telling him not to shoot. Not a thing was done, they were even alowed to keep the deer. Its total bs. Decided this year not to bother and we took care of it ourselves....

Near Memphis, tons of Mennonites that just want to be left alone and the property was on a road that would see 1 or 2 cars a day. Owner decided to triple the lease rate and several of the partners bailed and we lost the property. Up there I carried because there were a ton of coyotes.

New place is south of Stover. Tons of meth heads and it's on a heavily traveled road. Down here I carry because of the them and tons of stray dogs.
 
When my property was being timbered, I had the cable down for the loggers. Couldn't believe it when I checked the camera I had put up to watch the entrance. A car and an atv just drove right in. I guess they were just checking it out because they all just turned around and came back out. They fortunately didn't do anything. I was 10 minutes from catching the car. Had a lot of problems with trespassing the first year but it was a historically unposted property so I assumed as much in the area it's located. I put a bunch of old cameras that didn't work anymore up as dummies in obvious locations. Since then I haven't seen sign of anyone, so it's either working or they're getting sneakier.

Police in my area don't want to deal with it. I completely understand though. Almost every town in the county has gotten rid of their local police force so the state police now have to patrol the entire county. They don't want to be bothered with dealing with a hunter trespass. They have more than enough to keep them busy I'm sure.

exactly! When the sheriffs deputy said “oh he’s not a bad guy since he quit drinking”. I knew nothing was going to happen.

I think you'd get more traction out of your Conservation Agent. I have the numbers to the ones in my 2 counties on speed dial.

My Game warden and I are on a first name basis..
The prosecutor knows me also.

In MO a CO can’t write a trespassing ticket unless they actually whiteness the trespass. That or mine won’t. They also will not write a ticket on leased land even if the written lease gives the leasee the legal right to prosecute trespass. Haven’t crossed that bridge yet but when I do I’ll get a lawyer involved.

Contact them back and tell them you want to sign a complaint and if they don't do that contact county attorney
