my father owns 120 acres(which i am to inherit and the caretaker now if you will) of some nice hardwood bottoms. it has been in our family since his great grandfather bought it in the late 1800s and homesteded it. well we have always been nice and let a few people hunt it we knew and let people ride 4wheelers through just to have something to do since everything is fenced and gated up these days. so over the past 5 years or so i have had 3 deerstands stolen, a family friend that lives beside our property peppered in HIS driveway with squirrel shot from a trespasser (he yelled stop shooting this way you are hitting me and my house) and they cussed him. i had a guy i didnt even know bring in a deerstand and a feeder one season, so i finally found out who it was and got in touch with him and asked him to remove it nicely since he didnt ask in the first place, he said he would but told me if i dared touch his stuff he would come to my house and kick my a$$. And after someone tore my gate down going into the woods people started dumping trash down it, and after that got so bad i couldnt take it anymore i cut down a tree across the road so no one could go down there period. well i be darned if someone didnt go down there and cut the tree up and start dumping stuff again. there are to my knowledge after i looked yesterday, 4 matress and boxspring sets, 2 toilets, 3 couches, a love seat, about 15 computer monitors and i couldnot begin to tell you all the amounts of trashbags and miscalanious junk down there.i have even found about 5 dead bull dogs down there people just dump out that had been killed fighting. its people like that who ruin it for all of us that has respect for other peoples property and really apreciate it when someone gives you the opertunity to hunt it. i really feel for everyone of yall who just wont to do the right thing and ask to hunt and be respectful of someone elses property when its just as easy to slip in at night and them never know but they still wont let you. its a shame that these kind of people have ruined it for us.
