Theft angers hunting reader

- ------------------------------------------------------------------------

SIR: To the person who saw fit to take my hunting equipment from private
property, the effort that you exerted to steal my property must have
been very difficult. Had you spent that much time and effort working,
you likely could have purchased much more hunting equipment.

The fact that you might carry a hunting licence does not make you a
hunter, for one hunter would not do this to another hunter; we have a
much higher ethical standard than that. You, sir, are a blood-sucking
bottom feeder that plays on the trusting nature of other people. You
don't have the decency to ask for permission to hunt on private land so
you sneak in and take what is not yours.

I will give you warning now, you will be discovered and suffer the full
extent of the law and I will do my best to see that you lose your
hunting privileges because the hunting brotherhood does not need the
likes of you.

>From now on I will be watching you a little more and I will give up some
of my hunting time to get the proof that I need, and will be writing
down information when you are in the area.

So beware, the long arm of the law will be upon you before you know it.
No names will be revealed at this time ,but you know who you are and so
do I.

i could use a few poster size,s in this

Had my truck broken into this year, about $1000 in tools taken ( that I need to make a living). Won't say what would happen if I caught the guy who did it. If I had my suspicions on who did it, I would make it known to the police so they would at least have a place to start (and they might pursue it if they had a place to start, I hope at least). I can understand the anger and frustration of having your gear stolen, but I don't get what the guy hopes to achieve by putting this statement in the paper. Venting I suppose, but thats what forums like this are for. LOL!

Trail Camera and a trip wire on a bear banger.... makes for some interesting pictures of dirtbags falling all over the place running away.

It does sound like a tree stand.....won't be the last one.

This is why I have cable locks for everything I put out. We haven't had any of this but there are three groups of hunters in our area(including us) and we keep an eye out for each other.

I heard a good story one time, I believe it was from Maddog about a guy who laid claim to his buddies tree stand opening morning. Joe's buddy asked him to leave, the guy said no, so he went back to camp and got the chainsaw, The stand was vacated rather quickly. Joe forgive me if I am wrong, but I am sure this was a story you told me.
