I would investigate the recurring times they travel through. Get a banjo, shotgun, and a few friend's. Great your trespassers with " You got a purdy mouth".
Chances are they live close by and were out doing what they do.Ride on the properties when they think no one is around and have a few while they do their thing.They'll be back again and again til someone is prosecuted then they will steal your stuff and make life a living hell where you try and hunt.
Low life POS trash. Pisses me off just seeing those pics. Wouldn't suprise me if they're liberals who buy into the "no boundaries" and "your property is my property" b.s.
I hope you catch and prosecute the hell out of those a-holes.
I know a few folks that like to stay up late and could assemble 3-5 RZR's for a little weekend outing and roundup. I cannot stand a thief! Holler if you need a hand, you've got neighbors that are willing to help!
Edit to add * I'll share these with some friends on Tanglewood and Cedar Creek. I wouldn't rule out critters riding from Ridley or Tommy Lee Cook either...
When puting any wire or clear fishing line you have crossed the line, remember the law is to protect the guilty, not the victim,however do you remember the movie "JOHN WAYNE, KIRK DOUGLAS" decided to take on a WAR WAGON Stage Coach, that was protected by a gatlin gun. Wonder what they did to the WAR WAGON.
Think about the way the pygmies, how they treated the invaders, foot traps that left their quarry upside down. So many different ways there are many certain ways the offenders are just bound not to approve of.
They will be back, since they are used to doing what they want, when they want, and how they want to, its now going to be a "TURF WAR", start the planning of some "HARD BALL GAME PLAN", you have scared some however alligator mouth is going to be just that until he sees that "YOU ARE NOT GOING TO TAKE IT ANYMORE." You have got to play it cool make them move into the place you want them when you see them again and you will, and tell your members to do the same, find out where they live, do not go on their property, residence, and just drive by slow, MAKE SURE THEY SEE YOU, SMILE, WAVE, SMILE AND WAVE, do not say anything to them as that will be considering that you are aggressor. You can do this however do not go around after dark as you may end up in trouble.
REMEMBER, YOU JUST WANT THEM TO MAKE THE MISTAKE NOT YOU!!! YOU TAKE PICTURES SO YOU KNOW WHO THEIR FAMILIES ARE ALSO. SOME OF THEIR FAMILY WILL TAKE UP THE ,LITTLE GAME. USE 35MM LONG RANGE LENSES, YOU WANT POSITIVE ID.
A suggestion, put your trail cams up a tree about 25' to 30' why because if they steal it they will have to work for it. Put another camera up in the same area so you just may catch them in the act.
A little suggestion, your warning sign in the entrance of your driveway in court will be viewed as challenging, people and a threat.
Just change to more non-challenging verbage...
Do as you wish, however we have been down your road more than once, to win takes time and wearing them out, and of course you and your members are over 18 years of, so watch the course as the offenders have now got to have you to cross over line to their way of doing things then you have fallen into their entrapment!! Now you have got to reflect back over what they have done and how they did what they did. Be sure and sign an affidavit with the DNR, giving them expressed ability to come on your property of permission to arrest trespassers. DNR, are FEDS, which means they have more latitude, and more authority than state and local.
Call your GEORGIA REPRESENTATIVE, and tell them to vote for the "PURPLE PAINT POSTING LAW"...
PLAN, PLAN, PLAN, EXECUTE YOUR PLAN, however study the law before going into action, you want them to react, and look like we are just trying to enjoy the outdoors...
Lets face it, our country is full of people who believe that they are "above the law" and that they have a right to do whatever they deem appropriate whether it be violate your property, steal your stands or steal your money through then Government (tax, welfare).
The trespassers think they have a right to go wherever they please.
I saw some idiot on Fox maybe yesterday AM stating that people are citizens of the world and as human beings have a right to go wherever they wish.
Oh wait not in her home though but everywhere else.
Make bunches of copies of the pictures you have and any more pictures you get in the future. Post them all around town and neighboring towns. Offer a reward for information leading to the arrest and prosecution of the individuals.
