doublegunshop.com - home Forums General Discussion DoubleGun BBS @ doublegunshop.com I got poached, again.

Went to my third Dove field yesterday, only to find out others had been there and shot it before us. Takes balls to shoot a field, that is posted, without permission. They did it.

So I called the game warden for that county. Asked him if he had checked anyone hunting on my Hall Road Dove field. Guess what, he had. They told him that day that they did have permission, so he just checked their bag limits, guns and licenses. He was even more pissed than I was. He hates to have people lie to him about stuff like that. Can not blame him for that. In this state you must carry written permission to deer hunt on property you do not own but not to bird hunt.

Bad thing for them is that he knows four of them by name. He paid a visit to two of them today and served them a "happy day citation". He just called and said he had the entire list of ten people who hunted that day. Says that he did check ten people. They all are getting a "happy day citation" from him. Asked me if I wanted to press charges for trespassing as well. Yep I said.

If you can't read a sign you are stupid but if you lie to a game warden, who knows you by name, you are double dumb as heck. I intend to get the entire list of names and make sure that they are never invited to hunt on my property. I do let locals hunt with me sometimes, especially kids but have no interest in them hunting without me or without my permission.

Good job, Jon. Sorry for the trouble. Burn their ass.

Lying to an law enforcement agent is a felony in Georgia. You spent a lot time and money planting the field. They should pay your costs, lose their hunting privileges,pay the piper, and suffer the public embarrassment. Gil

Horse whipped and then Tar and Feathered.
'Nuff said.

That sucks Jon but I'm glad you've chased them down. No mercy, IMHO.

I personally favor castrations. Stupid should not be allowed to reproduce. I don�t know what they will get in the end but I am sure a couple ring leaders will get the maximum. The rest ought To get less but all will now also get trespassing as well.

Before I hunt this farm again I am going to walk around the field and make sure nobody adds a bit of bait. Back when I was hunting in MD l had someone place corn on the back corner of my field. I noticed the dove were not flying their normal route into the field. They came in and turned hard right. So I went and looked. Saw 100+ pounds of cracked corn stead out over a hundred feet or so area. Walked back to hunting buddy who was a state game warden and told him the field was baited.

We just made it out to my truck when federal game wardens came into the field. Only time I ever saw a Federal game warden dove hunting. They said they had a tip the field was baited. My buddy the game warden said he just confirmed it and took a sign out if his trunk which posted the area as baited. gets had nothing to say after they found out that nobody had shit a single shell. Field was closed for ten days. I plowed the corn under. After ten days the birds were mostly gone. Figured out later who baited the field and the target was my warden buddy.

Careful with that "Hang'em High" attitude. Matches are cheap...Geo

So are "this property under video surveillance" signs.

Couldn�t happen to a nicer batch of ten riffraff. Hope it hurts in the wallet, and their hunting license for the rest of the season. Too bad you don�t have an idea what the vehicles look like in case you notice them in that area again.

Too many people deal with offending persons with fear. You sir have taken the high road and made these trespassers accountable for their actions.
Maybe you would like to run for the senate?
