Day ruined...What is wrong with people?

[ohiodaisy]

What's wrong with people these days? you know listening to all the public hunting land problems on here was really making me appreciate our private land hunting until today. Ben and I a buddy of ours and a youth friend of ours planned to be in the woods early this morning, and then before daylight our entire day of hunting was ruined by inconsiderate idiots, so now I can tell you it's not just public land that has problems I guess. We all got to our stands about 6 am. My stand is a ways back in, so I take my quad down an old railroad bed and park it, then walk the rest of the way in to where my stand is. As I was walking this morning I thought I heard a deer, stopped and listened, but didn't hear anything else so I continued on my way. I get to my stand which is in woods, but overlooks two open grassy field areas. As I am getting to my stand I see a light on the other side of the little field, and just assume it is our youth friend and Ben who is supposed to be over in that direction. So I turn off my light and climb my stand. Then I start looking around from up there, and realize this light is coming across the field directly at me at what looked like a running pace, so I turn my light back on to let them know i am there. They came right in within probably 40 yards of my stand and then circled in behind and out of site. :rant: It of course was too dark to see anything but the light, so I sit a while longer wondering who it was. Now there is only supposed to be family and employees of our boss hunting this area, so thinking maybe it was one of them I didn't say anything as the person past my stand. But then I see another light coming from another direction to within 60-70 yards before seeing my light I once again turned on, and going in a different direction, within a half hours time this happens 13 or so times:rant: lost count after #12. These lights all came in from different directions, and after #12 I decided my stand was completely surrounded and I wasn't likely to see a thing.:nono: So I call Ben who tells me to stay put until he gets there. By the time he gets there it is daylight, we did locate a couple of these people which were Amish and threw them out, but we have no idea how many were in there besides the ones whose lights I saw, but the way they were tramping around all over the place in all directions we ended our hunt by 7:30 figuring the day was ruined.:rant: Why are these people like this? Why do people think they can just walk into anyone's land they want and hunt without permission? Oh and that's not the end, the other day the boss saw two deer trying to breed in one of the fields near out hunting area, only the buck, one of our big ones, is visibly injured. We tried but were unable to get close enough for Ben to get a shot at him. And today when we get back to the house after all this trouble, and are standing outside talking the boss's father pulls in and tells us one of our big boys was found dead in the corn field they just harvested with the arrow still in him:rant: Not yet sure if it is the same one we saw injured or a different one, but Apparently this morning is not the first time our hunting area has been invaded by people who shouldn't be there. hmm that explains why we haven't been seeing anything at all lately. I now can totally understand all the complaints I see on here about idiots, but this is private property, should we really have to deal with this?:nono:

[traphunter]

which were Amish

ummmmmmmmm......think hard. Nevermind.:rant:

[chadwimc]

Some people have the impression that the Amish are honest, law abiding,hard working people. I've had enough encounters with 'em during past gun seasons to know better. If they ignore gun and wildlife laws, what laws are they ignoring in their bakery and produce stores???

[Jimmy]

My son and I had our first encounter with a public land asshat. Jerk drove by us, turned around and drove by us again and parked about 200 yards in front of us. My son and I walked the tree line to where we were to cross into the woods. As soon as we got back to the corner, jerk and, I'm assuming, jerk's kid turns on his light entering on the OTHER side of the tree line. He knew why we were parked where we were at. He knew where we were headed. It was basically a foot race for him. I said a few choice words to him with no reply and we headed back to the truck.

We moved down the road a little and set up. But my son couldn't sit still. And when he was still, he was sleeping. Wasn't a real good morning.

[Q2XL]

sad part is it gets worse every year.

[bowhuntinoh]

i guess im not the only one having problems this year its so sad people act this way

[4 mile frontiersman]

Not to start an Amish bassing theme here but they began moving around the Oak Hill area in Jackson Co a few years ago (now they are everywhere) and they definately don't know the game laws (nor seem to care). The adults take full advantage of the youth season. My father-in-law saw one sitting on his property line in a stand (so close you couldn't walk between him and the fence) and he was facing my father-in-laws property. When my father-in-law asked him what he was going to do when he shot a deer on his property since he doesn't have permission to hunt there the Amish guy said he would get the game warden and then he would be allowed to get his deer! Rather than just coming and saying "Hey I'm hunting close to your line if I get a deer do you mind if I retrieve it" he pulls this attitude with my father-in-law.

[Darron]

We have them across the street from us, but this individual seems like a pretty decent guy. The only time I see deer hanging is during season, but that doesn't mean anything. :mischeif: I wonder during this youth season if he wasn't all over our 117 acres. He owns 104 acres himself, so I don't see why he would have to hunt anywhere else.

[coonskinner]

i have less problems on public land than on the private lands i used tuh hunt...my only stand that got stolen was on my relatives land durin a motocross/hare scramble that my sister was kind enough to let them use her land for part of the track...it was part of this group as i almost caught them as they ran back to the parking area...it was a large race and a lot of campers in the parkin area...they were lost in the crowd...what appreciation...i have left stands on public where we hunt...even very close to trails...i've had one out since deer camp(wn) started...its in a place where it can be seen easy...an i wouldnt be surprised somebuddy used it...let yuh know if its still there when i get down there...i wont be surprised either way...:)

[whitesnake]

As hunting gets more and more popular we are going to have more idiots in the field with us. The only thing we can do is try and educate them and hope thay listen. Most of us on this site are very ethical and up standing people. I say most of us, becuase I don't know everyone on here and I would love to be able to say all of us. So unless you are filthy rich and can afford your own land with top notch security feature to keep tresspasser out I guess you are going to have to try an educate the new ones.
Whitesnake

[bowhuntinoh]

well lets hope the classes the dnr put on work. i went to one a couple years ago with my step kids and stayed the whole time. most of it was about safety. the rest was about ethics. i was even asked to take the test along with a couple others. i did miss one. the farm i hunt we prosicute so we dont have much trouble.

[ohiodaisy]

Well have been talking to our boss and his family members that were also in the woods that day, and we weren't the only ones with problems. On the opposite side of the woods from where i was one family member had a guy sit down under his treestand and lean against his tree. He shined his flashlight down on the man to let him know he was there, and the guy ignored him, and never moved. The same family member also saw two gray haired guys carrying shotguns.:yikes: hmm didn't know youth meant we could use guns too. Anyway we had a big meeting at our house last night with the family(5 brothers own this farm) and a few cousins who hunt here. Unfortunately the owners were not aware that there was such a problem, because they are so busy they are lucky if they get to spend one whole day hunting. so we discussed what we would like to do, what we thought should be done, and Ben and I explained how we would like to manage the hunting here. We decided to post the property for starters, the boss is getting us the signs today, and then it is up to Me and Ben and the other hunters that are in there most of the time that are supposed to be there to start throwing people out. We have been authorized to do what we need to do even if that means calling the GW or police for trespassing.

We know this won't fix the problem this year as most of the rest of the season will be used to clean these people out of our woods, but hopefully doing this now will make it not so bad next year.

Oh BTW the deer found dead with the arrow still in him, was not the same one I saw injured, so that means we still have yet another one of our big ones out there injured. In just about the same spot back right hip:rant: The shot on the one found dead, was a very bad shot. We do have the arrow, so we will be watching to see if we see anymore like it.:nono:

[stumphole]

Good Luck, it sounds like you may have your hands full with gun season comming up.

[Cap't Ernie]

I'm not hunting the in woods we've been hunting in (farmer's) for the last 5 years because there are Amish crawling around like gnats on fruit. Sad, sad, sad.

OhioDiasy,

Good for you for taking a stand against trespassing.

Part of the deal with the Farm Bureau to get the statewide Sunday hunting bill passed some years ago was the enactment and enforcement of stiffer trespass laws. You may have to give the sheriff a friendly reminder about the history of this.

Have the landowners write out an statement designating you as their agent in trespassing violations and then you call the sheriff first the GW second. It is really the sheriff's job to enforce trespass violations. If you do not not have the statement from the landowner empowering you you won't get very far with your complaint. OH and don't forget to have your written permission with you for you to hunt there:D

Good luck

[deerhunt45]

sounds like are handling things as well as you can right now Heather. it is sad some people have no respect for others property and rights. good luck to you.

What in the world happened with this situation??

I would definitely be ready for some conflict come gun season. Be careful. Be safe. Wear Kevlar!! Don't be afraid to shoot warning shots if necessary.

[oldwon]

I often hunt a friends place in North Alabama. Two years ago one of our guys had someone shoot over his stand 6 or 7 times. One shot actually hit the tree he was in. He called us on the radio and we proceeded to circle the idiot. He saw us coming and actually fired over one guys head. We went up to the gate that comes into the property and we came across a new 4 wheeler and it was on our land. The owner got some log chains and he really chained it up. We also put 2 IR cameras on it. We left to go back to the cabin around 9PM. The next morning the 4 wheeler was still there. They had cut the tree down but the wheels were chained together so they couldn't drag it. We checked the camera's and I can tell you the pics were good enough to have him arrested. We couldn't prove he shot at us but we got him for trespassing and hunting without a license. His grandfather sold the 4 wheeler and he cannot get a hunting license for 2 years. I heard last week his grandpa sent him off to the Marine Corp. Kind of gave him a choice i guess.

Thanks for the advice! Have already got the landowner paper designating us as an agent.;) And yes we do have our own written permission have had that all along:mischeif: So we are all set there.

[ohiodaisy]

What in the world happened with this situation??

Well that's basically what the meet was about. Saturday we did nothing. The family member was a cousin and not one of the landowners so he did nothing either. We basically all just gave up that day and came out of the woods early, because we weren't sure if these people had permission or not. So we came out early and let it go until we were able to talk to the landowners to be sure. But now we all know exactly who is permitted and who is not, and there is only 7 people besides the landowners that have legal written permission, so now we know if they can't produce written permission then they shouldn't be there.

I would definitely be ready for some conflict come gun season. Be careful. Be safe. Wear Kevlar!! Don't be afraid to shoot warning shots if necessary.

Thanks for the advice. Already realized this and we are prepared. That was what got me mad enough to open my mouth, because the 13 lights I saw before daylight that day had my stand completely surrounded. It literally was a complete circle around my stand that if they had shot they would have probably been shoot at my stand, and that was definately a feeling I don't want to deal with again.

We did have a similar situation on a large farm we lived on in PA and although it took us a few years to get it under control we were able to do it, so although we know it will be a lot of hard work I think we can do it if we keep at it.;)

[bowhuntinoh]

it might take work but it can be done legaly

[coonskinner]

i have had people ride past me on their quads when i hunted on private land...they sorta had perm. to hunt...i picked this up in your post...this is a problem for some,quads...an turnin off a light in the dark is a no no if yuh wanna be safe in the dark...idiots shoot at things in the dark too...you may have been lucky they didnt get out there before you...the one that gets the hunt spoiled is the one out there 1st...anybuddy can be the spoiler or idiot...:D

[Lundy43123]

ohiodaisy,

Once last suggestion is to be proactive.

Call the sheriff now and explain the problem and what you intend to do to fix it and how you need and expect his help in solving this issue. Ask him how he thinks you need to work with him to get it done.

Do you know where any of these trespassers live? If you do a visit by a couple of you to each residence explaining in a friendly manner that you've talked to the sheriff and the trespass laws are going to start being aggressively enforced may have a impact.

Some of these people may have been hunting this property without permission for years with no consequence. It's almost like they think they have squatters rights at that point.:D

If you tell them something like, Sorry, I know you've been hunting this land for years but the owners are making some changes and trespassing can not be tolerated any longer. The sheriff is now very actively involved in helping to eliminate the trespassing problem. Just thought I would let you know so you don't get all caught up in this and end up with a big fine to pay.

If this group is largely related:D to one another the word will spread pretty quickly to all of them. You may solve some of your problem without them ever setting foot on the land again.

Good luck

We use to have rampant problems with the Amish on our property. Until one year on the first day of gun season I saw one of there stands on our property so I went up it and cut the straps and ripped it down. What made it better was the amish guy saw me doing it and came over to yell at me. He asked me what I was doing and I said I was taking my treestand down, he said well that's my stand you can't take it. I said not anymore, if it's on my property then it's mine. That year in total I took down 5 of there stands on our property. Two were the permanent wooden ones with no steps (amish arel like monkey's, they can climb anything with no steps) Anyways we used a little firepower to take those stands down. Ever since then we haven't had any problem with them, atleast to my knowledge. Our neighbor said he has seen people come out of there woods and come over on us, but I haven't seen them on our place in about 7 years.

[Hiller]

deerhunt45,
if you look at who posted that about the ghillie suit it will explain itself lol

[ohiodaisy]

Two whole days of work, but we got it posted. Finished up at Dark last night. While posting we did run into an Amish man hunting the property next to us, and mentioned to him that the property was being posted. It must have been the right thing to do, because this morning we had no problems at all. We had 8 hunters in the woods all of which had their written permission, and no problems at all. Only one buck was seen by one person, who already had his buck, but wasn't much else around. After all the people in there during youth season, not sure we will be seeing much in there for a while, but at least it is posted now, and hopefully that will help for next year. Found a few very interesting tree stands in there while we were posting it. Someone on here made the comment that the Amish are like monkeys...I honestly believe that after seeing these stands. One was nothing more than a piece of plywood set between two branches of a large tree no attached to anything and a few wooden steps nailed to the tree. The other I could not believe, I have never seen anything like it, so i had to take a picture. It was a huge huge tree, and next to it was an old wooden step ladder like you would use to paint to get them to the lowest branch then two branches up from that was a small platform made out of two 2x4 pieces with a piece of plywood over that. Then attached to the plywood, was the shaft and seat of a bicycle.:nono: That's it that was their stand, very uncomfortable and very unsafe looking at that, but it made for a good laugh. But anyhow, it seems that the guy we talked to past the word and hopefully our problems are over. At least we had none today and to me that's a plus, but we will see how the rest of the season goes.

Oh and I did get to meet our GW today. I had let him know we were posting and he was around several times today checking to be sure we weren't having any problems.

[Hiller]

Oh good lord buddy, I'm so sorry I offended you with my analogy of how every amishman that lives next to us climbs a tree that has no limbs . I'm sure though that you would have worded it politically correct. They do not have a single step on their trees. The stands I did rip down had limbs I was able to climb up to get to them. They grab ahold of the tree and shimmy right up it, and the closest thing I could think to compare it too was a monkey. GEEZZZ... next time I'll say they climb a tree like a well trained old school lumber jack, oh wait that may offend you if you cut timber for a living.... Quit reading so far into things so that you can blow your steam off! Sorry you think I'm a dick, I'm sure your perfect.

[DSP2]

You should have phrased it as, "Amish people are like SMELLY MONKEYS." That would be more fitting.;)

[Jimmy]

Well, they make a hell of a swingset. I gots one in the backyard.

[ohiodaisy]

Well, they make a hell of a swingset. I gots one in the backyard.

Yes they make some beautiful things, but you would never know it looking at these treestands.

Sorry guys didn't mean to start a fight. It really was lack of a better word. Guess we could have used bear or squirrel too, but I just know there was no way I was going to be able to climb those trees.

You acutally think by posting it that will help,Believe me that will in due time invite more people into the land ,and ,ost of the time it not the people that don;t have permission to hunt than it is the people that do,Once they get permission they think it a free roaming permission and they can come and go when they feel like it,No matter what time of day or night it is.These people will also be the hunters that will maybe sit a while then start walking around the woods looking for anything that looks like deer or deer sign because they have permission.I think if most people would do there homework and stay in one spot and quite walking around and moving so much they will get more deer and will not **** everybody else hunting.

PrimeAExample:Monday morning i get int omy stand by 6am 1 hours before legal shooting time.Welp 7am come no deer 7:30 no deer.7:40 spot a good buck (and i'm not talking some little 4 or 5 pointer scrub you guys blast and call a buck just to brag at work you shot a deer i'm talking 160 or better a deer i have been hunting for since the first of Oct.)walking the gravel lane looks like he was going to go into the woods so i give him 2 good grunts.Head up and here he come walking and stopping rubbing tree on his way to my stand.Bucks getting closer about 80 yards out but still to thick too get a shot thru(Hunting with 44mag) bucks moving nice and easy so he had 2 option now either continue down the gravel land which will make a 45 yard shot or he could make a cut into the finger and be less than 30 yard shot.WELL GUESS WHAT HAPPEN NOW:The BUCK takes of running right down the gravel lane out about 80 yards then out into the corn field(Remember im hunting with a hand gun so running shot is out the question in my book)I look in belief WHAT THE **** just happened and so i start to look around me and here is some jackass walking up the hill this is 7:50 in the morning this guy should of been in the woods 2 hours before then but no he is walking around the *******woods toting his shotgun in hand.And you say what is wrong with people.If you can't take the extra effect and try to get into the woods at a proper time then don't come in at all,And if you feel like you can't sit your little *** still for 2 or 3 hours don't bring it into the woods either or wait untill around 11am to walk around looking stupid and ******* up eveybody else hunting.
So your saying by posting no hunting signs all over the place would've change this wonderful morning hunt would it.NOT(You wasted your time and money)
By the way good luck with your signs and i hope you bought plenty more to replace the ones that get taking down and shot up by all our law biting citizens(We call hunters),And yes you can say i'm done hunting this week.
:rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant: :rant:

P.S keep in mind your not the only one in the woods have some respect for your fellow hunters .If you get up late stay in bed don't come running into the woods 1hour past legal shooting time.If you feel itchy just Roll over and don't bring it into the woods and ruin someone else morning or evening hunt that has taking the time to be prepared.:tsk: :tsk:

[coon_ass]

.........

Sucks buddy.... It happens..... I have been walked in on over 6 times this season so far. and I hunt a long ways from the truck and trails, my closest stand is 3/4 of a mile back. 5 times by bowhunters and once by squirrel hunters. Not a 1 after I called to them went back the way they came.. All walked right through and kept on going. I have walked up on 1 guy this season in the evening when i was squirrel hunting. there were 2 in a buddy stand father and son... I saw them before they called out and I backed out and hunted somewhere else that evening. I talked to them later and only the boy saw me.

Sorry to hear about you’re luck.. But isn’t it funny they always show up the moment the big boy shows himself…

It has become a seasonal thing on the private land I hunt in Athens county for me and the landowner to go around and replace and put up ,ore posted signs. On the first day of gun season we all ( 4 of us ) have our stands set up so we can see the fence line. I also have written permission with the owner allowing me to run off trespassers. It seems to be working pretty good except for the idiots that hunt the fence line. One guy last year shot across the fence and drug the deer back. By the time we got there he had drug it back across the fence. He wouldn't tellthe truth even though we could see where he drug it.
DNR has the hotline (1-800-POACHER) callem' and complain. They aren't going to do anything unless some one says something.
I don't want to pick on a group of people but a friend of mine had a real bad experience in wood county, wv with the amish.
If the laws are in place make them follow them or turn teir azz in. Stand for what is right, if you don't have nothing to hide.
Also we need to complain to the government so they will put more money towards DNR officers. Way under staffed.

PrimeAExample:Monday morning i get int omy stand by 6am 1 hours before legal shooting time.Welp 7am come no deer 7:30 no deer.7:40 spot a good buck (and i'm not talking some little 4 or 5 pointer scrub you guys blast and call a buck just to brag at work you shot a deer i'm talking 160 or better a deer i have been hunting for since the first of Oct.)walking the gravel lane looks like he was going to go into the woods so i give him 2 good grunts.Head up and here he come walking and stopping rubbing tree on his way to my stand.Bucks getting closer about 80 yards out but still to thick too get a shot thru(Hunting with 44mag) bucks moving nice and easy so he had 2 option now either continue down the gravel land which will make a 45 yard shot or he could make a cut into the finger and be less than 30 yard shot.WELL GUESS WHAT HAPPEN NOW:The BUCK takes of running right down the gravel lane out about 80 yards then out into the corn field(Remember im hunting with a hand gun so running shot is out the question in my book)I look in belief WHAT THE **** just happened and so i start to look around me and here is some jackass walking up the hill this is 7:50 in the morning this guy should of been in the woods 2 hours before then but no he is walking around the *******woods toting his shotgun in hand.And you say what is wrong with people.If you can't take the extra effect and try to get into the woods at a proper time then don't come in at all,And if you feel like you can't sit your little *** still for 2 or 3 hours don't bring it into the woods either or wait untill around 11am to walk around looking stupid and ******* up eveybody else hunting.
So your saying by posting no hunting signs all over the place would've change this wonderful morning hunt would it.NOT(You wasted your time and money)
By the way good luck with your signs and i hope you bought plenty more to replace the ones that get taking down and shot up by all our law biting citizens(We call hunters),And yes you can say i'm done hunting this week.

P.S keep in mind your not the only one in the woods have some respect for your fellow hunters .If you get up late stay in bed don't come running into the woods 1hour past legal shooting time.If you feel itchy just Roll over and don't bring it into the woods and ruin someone else morning or evening hunt that has taking the time to be prepared.:tsk: :tsk:


People like you are half the problem. Just because you're the first person into a woods you think you suddenly own it and thus everyone else has to go. Sorry to bust your bubble but that's simply not the case. If it's public land anyone else is as welcome to be there as you are, whether they arrive at sunrise or an hour after. If it's private land and they have written permission from the land owner, the same applies. You can bitch, moan and whine all you want, but all it will do is show everyone else how much of a self-centered @$$ you are.

Get over yourself, you're not special!

Cmon folks, no need for the forum member bickering. Everyone has an opinion and if it's not within the Code of Conduct don't post it. Calling people names is just childish, I haven't seen an Amish person or anyone who has identified themselves as one on here calling you names. This thread is starting to sound like a 3rd grade recess period, clean it up or I'll close it down. :)
