It usually goes something like this. Members of an established camp that's hunted the same crown land for many years get the idea that they "own" the hunting rights to the area and are greatly miffed when "strangers" appear on "their property",using intimidation tactics,from flattened tires to shredded camper tops and scratched (keyed,knife blade tip) vehicles to send the message that the offending hunters are "trespassing". Of course,in reality,they own nothing and have no right to restrict the land use. Those tactics,more often than not,result in extreme escalation which can become quite dangerous. In some instances I've investigated over the years,the camp suddenly gets hit by "lightning",either,when the crew has left to go hunting for the day or after the season closes. Camp members often arrive to find nothing but a pile of charcoal where their camp used to be. The tables have been turned very quickly. They'll know who did it and why,but,they'll never prove it. Arson in a remote area is virtually impossible to establish evidence mostly because there's no fire service,no cell servive to even call for assistance. Perpetrators could be standing off watching from a distance and there's literally nothing that can be done about it. The general message is that it never pays to run your mouth or act like a**holes to strangers. You simply don't know who you're dealing with.
