I like the way you think

Really wish it was legal to shoot trespassers. Assholes know they are on someone else's property, and don't care, as they believe that they are "safe" being there.

Betcha lunch you can ask 10 LEO what a purple paint boundary means and most cant tell ya.

Trespassers are like cockroaches. Cant get rid of them but ya can make it hard on them. I call the LEO on every trespasser we catch. Block their vehicles in or something until the leo get there. We have had several over the years who had warrants and were hauled away. Most were just given a warning by the leo. Some kept coming back. We found if we get in their pockets its a big deterrent. Ive had at least 7 cars towed off private property in the last 10 years. If the leo cant do anything to them they are at least going to be cost a tow and impound bill.

I can agree and disagree with this. I certainly believe some situations would merit this. I would hate to be tracking a deer and cross a line that wasn’t marked and be on Uncle Hucks property. Does that (on the X app) show property lines? Obviously a good POSTED sign will keep the honest man out.

I would wait until the cops got there and then do a citizens arrest. if the act is a felony. cops don't always like to arrest for something they didn't witness, but I don't think they would have a problem with you arresting them. just tell the cops to haul them to jail and finish the paper work.

Like It !!

Can’t finish an arrest without a warrant and what happens if you can’t get a warrant? Sounds like a lawsuit waiting to happen.

Posted signs on my place used to be every 200 feet, then every 100 feet, now every 50 feet. I still have folks that say "what sign?"

Assholes. If you don't own it or have specific permission, stay off. If your deer ran onto my property, I'm easy to find, as I live there. I'll help you look.

some of us are easing away from what really upsets me-Digging up human remains. These bones they are digging up once held a living person in place. I think it is bad "Ju Ju" to mess with the remains and resting place of a deceased individual.

If the honest man is hunting a piece of property the honest man should already know where the property lines are. The honest man should never put himself in such a situation. And it being dark is not an excuse. They make some very nice lights now. As Unclehuck said, landowners are not that hard to find.

onx does show property lines

This is my thoughts exactly. Definitely since you can’t get in trouble the first time I’d hire a fleet of Mexicans and dig that whole damn yard up.

I would like to know more about the purple paint law several of you have mentioned.

It’s not a law per say, it was just passed allowing a landowner to tag his property lines with purple paint versus a “no trespassing sign” and have the same effect.

But if I’m not mistaken, Indian burial is covered under federal law and if proven can come with much harsher penalties.

If you know the guys address and have his property, you could go to the residence with LEO and have him verbally trespassed from your property. That will hold up in court..

We have over 4 miles of line that would need to be painted purple. That would be a lot of work without a law saying it is sufficient.

Might approach a Native American organization about these activities being perpetrated by individuals located at which addresses. Could end up dealt with for you.

Teach, sounds like you need some better LEO. They really should have wrote up something in your presents for trespassing. The vehicle could have been impoounded as evidence in commission of a crime.
