Well, If you guys remember I posted looking for the wardens info . And even posted up a picture of a guy coming through my gate before the season.

After spending most of my turkey season chasing down trespassers we caught the one finally!

I started chasing them the opener of youth weekend. I met the Wardens then as well. I didnt realize the extent of the problem on that new land I got until then. It was pretty bad. I had people come in from 2 different directions on youth weekend...without KIDS..

Opening weekend theyd come to my gates and owl hoot, but didnt come through. Though I believe they stop and dropped on my neighbors and circled around. They knew I wasnt parked there..but I think they smelled a trap. Which it was of course.

On Tuesday of the opening week I almost had one. I was sneaking into where they were going and he owl hooted right near me. He saw me coming down the hill just as I saw him and took off. He was across a creek with deep sides so he got away but myself and a warden went after him in there, but he slipped out the back end.

He later drove by the warden and I parked in our trucks at my gates. TWICE. A smart person would stop trespassing I figured. He wasnt smart.

I almost had him this past Wednesday too. He thought I was a real turkey and would owl hoot and crow call to me..but figured it out just in the nick of time and the race was on. He just got across the line when I came up on him. I saw him sliding into the thicket 100 yards or so across the line.

He has a small piece behind mine. I've never crossed his line. Even if they were gobbling there. But I smoked a good longbeard I called across it this season. TWO actually. The one I literally shot a yard from the red taped property line after calling it across. He should of just hunted his own land.... Cant fix stupid.

Today however he messed up . He heard a bird gobbling in one of my fields and couldnt resist and stepped in front of a Spartan Game cam he never saw and the wardens went there asap. Even though he was an hour away the warden went there and pulled him over on the road.The trespasser denied it at first but confessed when the warden showed him the game cam text and picture.

Good young and aggressive Wardens for sure. A real pleasure to work with. Hats off to them both.

By the way..if your on here ( the trespasser) and I truly think you might be..PM me.

Now you know who I am. Hopefully I wont have to chase you anymore and can finish my season. I have two tags still. Im planning on tagging out.

By the way..a NO TRESPASS NOTICE is in the mail tomorrow as well. Next time you will be charged with Criminal Trespass . A Class C Misdemeanor .

By the way...how can it be fun? You cant even call or we are chasing you.

Also...thanks for Playing. Ill be there tomorrow if you want to continue. Its been a blast. Sadly Ive played this game a couple decades. Im pretty good at it as youve found out. Looking forward to a PM!

ODO

KHASB!

Charge him NOW. NO second chances!! Make an example of him.

I always charge every trespasser ever Josh. No exceptions.

That’s awesome!! Love to hear about an outlaw getting their due.

Some folks a just plain idots! Hope you are done with him!

Who will be the first to post PM sent. I can't stand a tresspasser, sometimes I think they get more of a thrill from tresspassing than the actual hunt. Congrats on catching him.

Thanks. Ive learned to set the tone early when you get new land.

as to the PMs Ill know if its him. I have a couple trick questions only he will know.

Some folks just can’t stay put always exploring other folks property

Good deal

Awesome.

He won’t send you a pm if he’s on here. Poachers are cowards. That’s why they all run. I too agree that they prob get more of a thrill out of what they’re doing than they do the hunt.

Make sure it’s a condition of his bond not to trespass. No quarter

This x10....especially since he purposely slipped you a few times.

Good work! I busted another one last week with the help of Spartan cameras strategically placed. This time, on a property near Edgefield, SC. Turns out he is a frequent flyer in the local court system, and the local game warden was eager to nail him.

He ain’t real smart, #1 rule is to always wear a facemask when you step across that line. Good job catching him!

Glad you caught him. I've had a few cameras stolen from one of our green fields over the years and a guy was spotted slipping out of the field yesterday and being picked up. Maybe it's time I slip down there and start gobbling...

Couldn't catch me goober ! My face would break that camera !

Glad you got one

Thanks For the cameras Jerry. They are great. Best tool for trespassers you can have.

We also have one at our lake house and a month ago it went off. Some meth looking character in an old black pickup. Called the sheriffs immediately. He saw we had alarms and cameras and left without breaking in but they are great at instant notification of criminal types for sure.
