I'll have a timber cruisers ass put in jail along with anybody else i catch on it, its at the end of a road private and posted. The only people with any business on it is myself or my family.
To be clear, you own this property, right? Or your family are the only ones that have permission to be on it.
There's a big difference. If you are hunting another family member or friends land you better check with them before you go crazy about it.
Did they cut the chain next to your lock? Was the gate closed back when they left?
I have been threatened several times by people while I was working and they were not the landowner. Just a friend or had the land leased. Not everybody is out to get you or steal your stuff.
