Blackberries.Now that the mamas are stinking and its about to be open season for deer in a month
I was wondering if anyone had tips to protecting your property from trespassing
Open season is a turn key for any trespasser to just go look for the deer they shot anyone have experience or insight to this ? Keep in mind a am 100% legal but I don't want to be he talk of the town or get ripped , I have ideas but I was wondering if this is somthing anyone annually prepares for
There yah go lolDuring hunting season I shoot off about 15 rounds off of my shotgun throughout the day. Not a trespasser since!
beyond the side of my property is power company land,bordering the rear is hectares of state land,the power company side has 10ft high fencing & cameras for some little relay station on the property so that sorta pushes them to my land,luckily we have about 1,500 lft of thistle & thorn which leaves roughly 600lft on either side of the thorns,the thistle drives them to the semi open areas,over the years I clear cut 2 12ft paths through each side of the property for firewood & so we had good lanes for the kids quads to get through to the state trails easily with a gate at each path,the footpath kept clear by the kids motorcycles is roughly 6ft wide & people tend to walk on exposed soil trails vs undergrowth trying to be extra sneaky & not snap twigs,and there is where I get em by the balls.See that's what I'm saying man that's a great idea ! Do you just set them out on your trails that are easiest to move through I have 80acres
With my luck I'd probably forget about the trap and be squealing myself. Good thing I recently moved into a condo. No rippers on my balcony 25 stories up.beyond the side of my property is power company land,bordering the rear is hectares of state land,the power company side has 10ft high fencing & cameras for some little relay station on the property so that sorta pushes them to my land,luckily we have about 1,500 lft of thistle & thorn which leaves roughly 600lft on either side of the thorns,the thistle drives them to the semi open areas,over the years I clear cut 2 12ft paths through each side of the property for firewood & so we had good lanes for the kids quads to get through to the state trails easily with a gate at each path,the footpath kept clear by the kids motorcycles is roughly 6ft wide & people tend to walk on exposed soil trails vs undergrowth trying to be extra sneaky & not snap twigs,and there is where I get em by the balls.
I take weathered plywood & drive hundreds of rusty nails of different lengths & make as well as drywall screws that break off inside the foot,ring shank nails I like a lot too because meat rips when they yank their foot off,l lay 2 pieces of 4x8 nail wood side by side to cover an 8x8 area,then camoflouge with about an inch of native soil & a few leaves,in the late 90's is when I started setting traps & haven't lost a crop to humans since.
if I were you I'd do what I could to funnel any foot traffic to where you want them to walk like I did,if you don't have thistle driving then in a sure direction get creative & leave signs out every 20 feet where you don't want traffic & use the signs along with a single boundary wire to drive them to your booby trapped paths,being able to claim " we didn't see any signs" will move them to where you want them to be in order for their wounded deer excuse to be valid in their minds .
just think like a thief when you walk your property & you'll know where to clear cut paths for the rippers to take the bait & they do every time
Won't stop tree climbers those things are meanDig a moat around your property and fill it with fire ants
Lol even though that is tempting as all hell, I've been advised on more then one occasion that setting any types of traps can get you criminally charged. Even if someone is breaking the law by trespassing! Personally I feel we should be able to protect our property and homes.....we have a wire fence property line clearly marked,on my side of the line on the two trails through the heavy bush I've been known to leave a booby trap or two, a few sheets of weathered plywood with hundreds of nails & screws poking upwards,covered with a dusting of dirt & leaves & some dog shit to keep deer off the path works like a charm.
there is 16.5 acres behind the house & I can hear the squeels inside my home when they get stuck,I've been known to fire 60 round mags into the ground with slide stock rifles to scare the fuck out of whoever is doing the squeeling 2,000 feet away in the bush,its amazing how fast they " unstick " themselves from the nail board & forget about the inviso 12 point they were sure ran onto my land to die .
I don't buy the wounded deer shit anymore,I've been dealing with rippers for over 20 years now,its the smell that draws them in & not once have I ever heard a shot fired before the squeeling starts .
It will. In fact, you will be charged with aggravated assault at the very least. Should you actually kill someone, you'll be charged with Murder 2 in most jurisdictions, Murder 1 in others...and you will go to jail for the vast majority of the remainder of your life if not all of it.Lol even though that is tempting as all hell, I've been advised on more then one occasion that setting any types of traps can get you criminally charged.

gametrail cameras...........Yeah man your right about the piss lol ! I think what you said really sums it up though man it's all about location and planning I fell like I did a great job on that but hunters really know no boundries they will take the worst shot of there life wound a deer and go for miles through brush to try to find it because they feel bad I'm worried about the shitty hunters lol
If you got sizeable land maybe consider a pair or working class dogs as garden sentries? maybe even borrow some dogs for harvest season? deer don't fuck where dogs stench is prevalent. hunters shouldn't be "hunting" private land w/o permission..........I feel your worry.I tried it once got maced right in the sack !
