Went to my private property today and found this

[BHJ]

The first thing I would do would be to contact the neighboring land owners and see if they gave anyone permission to hunt their property. It might just be an honest mistake and the guy is hunting on the wrong property. Not everyone is poaching and some people do get lost and screw up. Hang game cameras and get pictures of him and his vehicle as well.

Come on dude, If someone is putting out a pile of corn like that and hunting it in the Northern zone then they are a POACHER. If it's on the property line then they are infringing on your ability to hunt within 600' of that spot even if you're on your own property. The POACHER needs to get off his ass and go find a natural feeding area or plant a food plot and become a hunter. I really doubt they are hunting it for selective harvest. You know do something beneficial for the carrying capacity of the land, not destructive.
It's BS behavior on behalf of whoever put it out either way, and the OP needs to call the tip line.

Chances are, yes.

But some people really feed them just to see them and to take photos. Probably not that much though.

It's also not unheard of for folks to put some corn out and waited until after it is gone to hunt.

It doesn't hurt to double check. What if the land changed ownership recently?

You don't want to cause neighbor issues if in fact it was an honest mistake by someone who is in fact legal.

Spikes for Spikes would Suck, Wouldn't it

If you go by tax record the owner of the property lives up north. Doubt he is hunting it or given permission.
The plan to hunt it bc there was corn, trail cam, and a stand 50 yards away. He cut down trees to get a straight on view.
Pulling deer from our thickets and hardwoods. Yall are probable right that they will not be selective. Probably shoot anything special if it the same person which has killed out of season.

So make the call.

It's your property, aside from anything that could be construed as "booby trapping", make sure they dont come back without a major inconvenience.

Trailcam goes on ODT giveaway here. Unless free section, in which case, I'LL TAKE IT!

Contact your local game warden he will do all the work for you, we had a problem about 4 years ago gave them a call and they caught (3) an adult and (2) 20+ year old. Gave them new locking wrist watches.


Was told it cost them $300.00+ each, plus service time.

Their claim was they were hawg hunting, however they had rattling horns, doe bleat, buck grunt call, and fawn call. Warden said, he ask how many hawgs that called in.... No comment was their reply.

Just because someone lives in a different state does not mean he doesn't have family or friends in GA. I have a friend that hunts in TN, GA, PA and MT and another that lives in CA and owns property in WY that he bought to hunt on. This question could be answered with a phone call to the property owner.

Hide some trail cams and get pictures of him and his vehicle with tag number if you can. You may even be able to use a wireless driveway alarm to alert you when the guy shows up. You should call Mr. Greenjeans and tell him about regardless so he doesn't think it was you that put the corn out.

I would call DNR about what you found and I would also inform them that I would be there sitting in a stand tomorrow morning to see who shows up.

 

[BHJ]

It's been a few days.
Did DNR get em?
