no bears only smashed windows.
« on: August 05, 2013, 07:09:40 AM »
Well I've been out everyday of the season and haven't even seen a bear yet.  I know of 3 confirmed kills in my normal area seems to be getting a lot more pressure this year.  Last night when I got to my car window smashed car trashed only took a sweatshirt and empty soft case that I know of.  Worst part I heard them drive away.  I was only about 100yds from the car.  I hate dirt bags.

Life expectancies for tweekers must go down on average during hunting season, I'd imagine... 100 yards between life and death.

Anybody up for setting up a bait car??  Got my "Any weapon" tweeker tag.  They'll be back...

Same thing happened to a hunting partner of mine last year I believe it was the same area you hunt... anyway I've been nervous to go back there because of the chance that my car will be broken into. I've thought someone should put up a game cam and bait with cars. Just to get photo id of the people pulling in there to check out the cars. Sorry to hear that happened to you.

 :yeah:  Once they realize that there is a easy way of getting money for there habits they will be back.  Sorry to hear your window and car were trashed.  My question for you D rock is did you have any personel info they could use for Identify theft?  IF so I would put a freeze on the credit. :twocents:

Sorry to hear that D-Rock.   That really sucks having to worry about your vehicle while out hunting.

I don't have a game camera, but this is another good reason to buy one.

I would recommend making them give over there shoes or boots and letting them walk back to town :tung:

Funner if they are stripped naked for the walk back, in the evening when the Skeeters are out in force :tup:

Hunting pressure doesn't bother me near as much as the window.

I'd take another vehicle back to that spot in a few weeks and camp out in the bushes and wait. Then I'd load up my quiver with Judo points and whack the *censored*s in the knees with a 430gr FMJ at 316fps :)

Sorry to hear that.  They may "disappear" if caught.  I guess copalis got hit hard by tweakers this spring too.
