Great Trail Cam Story

[sisu]

Got off the telephone with Steve of Northern Mist Custom Bows of Ishpeming, MI.
Steve told me a great trail cam story.
Game warden gets a call telling him there is a neighbor with a deer stand that has an illegal bait station on it.(Lower Peninsula has banned all baiting of deer because of CWD). The warden shows up at the land owner's house and tells him that there is going to be some problems for the illegal baiting of deer. The owner says, "Hey lets go to my stand because I don't bait this year". They get there and low and behold there is a big pile of feed! So the warden is all set to write the ticket when the land owner says, "Wait a minute, lets look at my trail cam."

I don't know tail cams, but this one was like a digital camera, so he had instant access to pictures. The last picture taken was one of the game warden and the land owner. So they went backward through the pictures and there was the evidence the land owner was looking for. His neighbor putting the corn and other feed at the tree stand. I guess the two neighbors were in a pissing match over something.

Long of the short the game warden went to neighbor's house and wrote three tickets.
One for putting illegal feed at the stand.
Two for trespassing on private land.
Three for filing a false report.

So there is justice some times.

Man, what a prick neighbor. Hard to argue against video footage or pics.

Good one Sisu!

Still talk to several people who hunt "down below" and it seemed to be a pretty common practice to dump bait at someone elses stand, especially on state land...  Happy to hear someone got caught for it.

If you talk to Steve, tell him I said hello.  He built me a bow many years ago, still performing great.  Me and a friend got our bows at the same time, and were in his basement bsing one time, and shooting a little, and my friend almost shot his toilet...to funny and we still laugh about it today!
