What would you do?

[Preacherman]

Did this happen to you, or a hypothetical?

It hasn't happened to me but to a guy I know. Ok, actually my cousin who leases from me to run cattle.

If it happens to me I don't know if I would get upset or just laugh at him. I would advise that I am the land owner and that he does not have permission. I also think that I would already have the sheriff on the way.

In today’s world, there’s no way I’d confront a trespasser without being armed, and the first thing I would do is disarm them. People are crazy, and I don’t want getting shot by someone that can’t stay in their own lane to be the way I go out.

I always carry when I'm on my land. I'm not saying that I own what I am carrying but I am carrying.

Problem is that the GW may be working a more important issue hours away. Typically there is only one or two per county so they have to prioritize what issue they have been called on.
Sometimes the county deputies may take a trespass call.

Trespassing with a firearm.

Call the game ranger Get his license number if you can find his vehicle. Might even cause flat tire too

Call Sheriff Office for trespass

Game Warden if an actual game violation.

Good chance that Sheriff will notify Wardens.

I do not have a cell phone and would have to go home to call or make the trespasser do the calling.
But I would like to hear all of his story first.
Like stated above he could have been scammed.

I know people do it with selling/renting houses.

You walk up to your deer stand on your land and a stranger steps out of your blind and says "this stand is occupied." You then ask who gave you permission to hunt here? He responds "the land owner." You then advise that you are the land owner and he responds "no you are not."

What would you do?

Call the cops.

If you're gonna walk around and confront trespassers, you NEED a cell phone. You can get phones that are relatively cheap, still have a decent camera in them for photographing things like license plates and such, and you just buy minutes as you need them.

Yep. Notify the authorities, GW, Sheriff's Office, both ... whatever.

There are folks on here that will report you for advising destruction of someone’s property.

Amazing the number of accidental discharges while out walking the fields when one stumbles because of a 'snake hole'. Strange thing about it is that all those spent bullets seem to always end up in things like tire sidewalls or windshields . . . just can't figure it out
