Trespassers

Mike

A good 3 year old buck
I am looking to hear your trespasser stories. Ever have a trespasser claim they had permission to be on your land? If you have a Trespasser story post it here I would love to hear them.
 
This is not mine but these were taken locally on private land last night. Looks like a bunch of mouth breathers got together to play army. IMG_20251221_134857.jpg IMG_20251221_134857 (1).jpgIMG_20251221_134857 (2).jpgIMG_20251221_134856.jpg

What on earth

I’ve had one guy coon hunting on another property walk through mine to get to a road. I was able to locate the landowner who gave him permission and told him no more, landowner was upset at the guy so that’s good. My worst offender has been dang contractors from the tva. They maintain the vegetation on the transmission line every couple years. They like to ride through my property to take the easy way to the road. I made it abundantly clear after getting them on camera at dusk on nov 5th that had I been in my stand and they came by I would have lost my mind. Told them they have an easement on the transmission line not throughout my whole property. I also said in the off season I’d be more than happy to work with them on access.

This is hundreds of yards from a transmission line

There's a video, I'm not sure how to attach it. 6 of them walk by
 
LARPer losers?
 
I’ve been seeing a really big 8 point on my in laws property though not seeing him in person. He must be kinda popular, as their neighbor walked through a field I have a stand overlooking at 11 AM on the first day of rifle season, followed by 2 of his young (less than 7 years old or so) grandchildren…I got it on video mode on the camera too…like wow that took some stones and lower than average intelligence…

This guy was dropped off and pushed my timber in Iowa . A local guy recognized him & the warden went to his house & showed him the pic….

Warden told him you will get a warning for now, if I catch you again you get 2 violations ! Interesting idea, I was fine with it !

I get you were cool with it but can I ask why you didn’t want to press charges this time? They clearly knew they were in the wrong and pushing your timber is a big deal in terms of the damage that could have been done

It was 2014 . I’m not sure, might have been his suggestion? It was just prior to Christmas. I was planning on selling the farm, so it was just not high priority to me at the time .
 
I recognize one, but not the other. Neighbors hunting at the cabin property

Been averaging 3-4 per season (summer, fall, winter, etc.). Mostly on the neighbors. He's given me permission to run everyone off, nobody has access except for his buddy who hunts and me.

3 things I always include in conversation once I've approached them; who's land ya on?, who gave you permission?, and I always say something specific about their license plate. Then while walking them back to their truck I usually let them know the sheriff will be waiting for them next time, not me. Almost 100% Sedgwick Co plates (Wichita citiots).


Last yr a guy was hunting on him without permission. Drove a company truck (Electrician) from Massachusetts. The landowner met him while hunting. Said he won't be back. Seemed pretty worked up.

The guy with this plate was a hoot! Didn't care for cops much. Stories he told me on the way back all ended with dirty cops, never hinted that he may have had something to do with his legal problems.

Who seemed worked up the landowner or the electrician?

The landowner. I texted to see if it was someone he knew hunting on him. It wasn't so I said I'd take care of it. He beat me there to take care of it himself. Was not a happy camper.
 
Our biggest issues with trespassers are people looking for arrowheads in the creeks/ravines of our properties. We are to the point that we have a good relationship with the sheriff's department.

We used to have major issues with road hunting/poaching, but that has really died down in the last several years.
