Lock down the vehicle they leave parked along the side of the road along with a note that reads “Come see me and the sherriff up to the house when you’re done trespassing.

Signed,

The Guy that put up the No-Trespassing Signs and Pays the Property Taxes.”

Now I need some of those! The funny thing is these guys were parked on the property.

Very good tip Kooty about leaving the license # on your voicemail or on someone elses with an explanation

You do have to be careful when kicking out trespassers. One that was shotgun hunting on our land a few years back actually threatened to shoot my dad for trying to throw him off. The guy didnt leave until my dad started to dial the police on his cell phone. I can’t understand what they are thinking arguing when they have no right to be there. If they are there mistakenly and thought it was someone elses land then its just right to apologize and leave the way you came in. I have run into a few trespassers that honestly thought they were on another guys land and were very civil about it. They ended up writing a letter to my dad appologizing about it and the next year they called and asked and we let them go. I t sucks that people do trespass but the only thing we can do is just patrol our hunting grounds and its sad that we have to do it but thats just the way it is.

In no way am I advocating trespassing, but I do want people to understand that everyone is paying for CRP land in the midwest. I feel that if a landowner is recieving tax dallors to turn his/her land to the CRP program, it should be open to the everyone who pays taxes in general. I grew up on a 1200 acre farm and even though we now only own 350 acres, you will not see a “No Tresspassing” sign on the property. My family is avid hunters, but we feel that there have been too many doors shut to hunters that cannot afford to lease land of their own to enjoy. That is not to say we haven’t told people to leave. Hunters these days need to get back to the basic principles of courtesy. Let’s face it, public hunting lands are usually way too saturated with hunters and generally are over hunted.
All of the hunting shows on T.V. promote introducing someone to the outdoors, but in reality we are posting every peice of nonpublic ground and telling them to go back home.

Basically, everyone needs to respect landowners because they are taking a huge liability for you to be on their land. In the same respect, if you gain full right to a peice of property and are going to post it, put yourself in the person’s position that has been hunting that property for years with permission.

I hope that I didn’t offend anyone. I get upset when I see someone buy a farm and plant nothing but CRP and posting every corner. That to me is like I am helping that person enrich their own hunting ranch through my tax dallors.

Remember when it was more about the enjoyment of the sport.

Mr. Holden, I hear what your saying about hunters needing to respect the land and the landowners. However, I got to disagree with your logic on opening CRP land to the public. Your comparison would be similar to me stating that since a single mom is on welfare, I should be able to raid her fridge for chocolate milk, since I’m paying for her food…..Same logic, but different angle……

The CRP program is for agriculture and evironmental purposes, not to establish a home for pheasants. The DNR has no legal or financial role in the program. There are strict guidelines as to what/how much/where/when/how can be put into CRP.

With that said, I have to disagree with opening the CRP land to public hunting, for the land owner is still paying taxes on it and is legally responsible for what partakes on his property.

Attached is a quick summary of the CRP program for those who may be interested.

PS:

Kudos to you for allowing the hunter access to your land!!!!
