[QUOTE="SPDguns, post: 1638057, member: 17621"] My favorite story: I've hunted a friend's place in Noble County for years. I posted the property and I maintain the signs. One morning, I park and start walking in and I see a flashlight moving in the field a hundred yards ahead of me. I catch up to the flashlight and it's a guy and his 12 year old kid. He gives me the old song and dance "I thought this was so-and-so's land". ("So-and-so" is the adjoining property owner). I don't want to be a jerk because he has his kid with him, so I tell him it's not "so-and-so's" land and I tell him he needs to leave. He heads back to the road. There's no vehicles parked there, so he obviously had someone drop him off. I go on to my stand. Not long after daylight, I can still see the guy meandering around the road. Then two does cross the fence and head toward me. They all of a sudden flag and run off. The wind was in my favor, so I knew it wasn't me. I can't figure out what happened and I'm already pissed I had to run this guy off. I get down and head to where the deer spooked from. Several yards upwind, I see a pop-up ground blind. I go to the blind and there is a weeks worth of styrofoam coffee cups and cigarette butts on the ground. I pick up the blind and his trash and head toward the truck. I called the Sheriff and have them meet me at my truck. I get to the truck and put the guys blind in my truck. The guy and his kid, still afoot, comes to my truck and says he needs his blind back. I tell him the Sheriff is on the way and he can get it back then. The Deputy arrives and writes the guy a warning for trespassing. The next time I go out there, there are brand new "No trespassing" signs on the [U][/U][I]interior[/I] fence facing my property on So-and so's land. What a jerk. He was teaching his kid to trespass and litter. I spent years cultivating a relationship with that landowner to get permission to hunt. Idiots like him ruin it for everyone. [/QUOTE]
