Blind and camera stolen

[hawk-i]

I know it sucks but if you leave your stuff unattended in the bush for weeks at a time, there is a good chance it will go missing! What baffles me is that some are surprised when it happens.

We have an agreement with all our neighbours and a couple of local hunters as to who is allowed to hunt on our land. One of the neighbours even have a permanent stand set up right on the property line. It is the best spot for hunting and has a clear view of two other neighbouring properties. We police our land on a regular bases, maintain the trails and have a mutual respect for one another but regardless we still catch people, both local and from the city setting up and when confronted they always feed us the same line that 'this is private land'... Damn right, my private land! I have scared a group off and my neighbour have taken down camps. We wait for people to return and when they do, for some reason they do not want to stick around for the provincial police to get their stuff back. All I have to say is to have a good relationship with the land owner. They are your eyes and ears when you are not around or if you are a land owner, make sure you are on good terms with your neighbours. You will find that neighbours are some times more protective about your land than you are. They feel they have a duty.

I might post there pics some day on CGN.

We should start a thread with hopes it becomes a sticky showing trespassers, this might get some thinking twice.

Look for your stuff for sale locally (to your hunting spots) at flea markets, yard sales, etc. I have found over the years that locals have the stickiest fingers when it comes to taking hunters stuff. Some of them are regualarly out in the woods for work/play/firewood/making a living and feel entitled to anything they find left unattended. I had a landowner I have known for over 20 years take my stuff because he thought I was someone else (switched my vehicle one year).

You got your stuff back, right!?! Better that the land owner be vigilant than not do anything at all. As far as the law goes, it is his land and stuff that is found on his land is fair game except if you had an agreement in essence turning the situation into a shot term lease. If it was another hunter without permission, you would be thanking the land owner for securing and protecting your hunting spot and the right to hunt there.

unlike the OP my situation happened on crown land when my stuff was taken and I went looking for who took it. It would be easy if the OP had his stuff taken by the landowner of the land he was on.
