A Tale of Trespassers

A friend owns some ground in NW that he sort of farms for pheasants and stocks with birds too. It's always posted. He got a call in AZ on Thanksgiving Day from a local saying he had quite a hunting group out there. Say what?? The authorities were called and found a group of nineteen hunters on the property, not one of whom had written permission, as required to hunt posted land, from either my friend, a previous owner, or the fellow who farms it. My friend said, "No wonder it's always been lousy hunting." One of the trespassers claimed to have been hunting it for ten years. I wonder if that admission of multiple trespasses will enhance his punishment. Yes, nineteen citations were written.

It is unfortunate that some hunters do not respect the land owners or farmers who are leasing the ground enough to request permission to hunt. It takes no time and shows the landowner that you respect him and appreciate the opportunity that he is GIVING. Sadly, your story isn't surprising.

I asked a farmer if I could hunt on his land a few weeks ago. He answered, "I can't believe you bothered to ask.I really appreciate it." The result: I have an invitation to hunt birds anytime and an invitation to hunt deer next year. Time to get off my soap box.

We had the same problem on land I hunt on near St. Joe Mo. and out near hays Ks. It took about 5 years of calling the police and game warden to finally get the people who didnt have permission to stop hunting it. The excusses people use are priceless. I hunted with a friend of a friend and he had permission, who was this friend, I dont know his name. We go out on Friday before opening weekend and put out 150 no treaspassing signs. Its been working as the hunting is as good the last weekend as it is opening weekend.
