Anyone Recognize These Guys?

If you have people regularly trespassing, maybe come to a conclusion that you should sell an acre or two to a conservancy, the state, or dnr to allow public access. Why waste your time when you could be on to bigger and better.

   You're kidding right?

Unfortunately he isn't.

Knowing the property owner and half of the trespassers, I think the property owner has been very gracious, with his discretion, to people caught clearly violating the laws of trespassing (not to mention the malicious mischief with the apples).  With permission,  my family and I have been guests on the property to pick blackberries on several occasions.  A simple respect for private property is the point being made here!

Maybe he should add a warning to the posted signs: "If down these rows you ever go, passing apples to and fro, your picture on HuntWa will show that you're a disrespectful bro."   

Great post. It's all about respect.
Seems like lots of people know who these folks are.

  good one

I also thought the property owner and Phool handled this well, get the word out that trespassing will not be tolerated, and they gave everyone a second chance, I respect that! Next time drop the hammer on repeat offenders! This topic should serve as notice to anyone trespassing anywhere that you may be caught!

That poem cracked me up........

So if I regularly have a problem with theft in my business instead of improving surveillance and efforts to curb it, I should come to the conclusion people want what I have and I should become a charity and just give everything away? With all the people in prison today maybe we should come to the conclusion people don't like the laws we have? And instead of wasting time enforcing the laws we should just get rid of them?

This makes the most sense to me, insert sarcasm emoticon here.

There is no excuse for trespassing on private land with the technology available today.  Want to skirt the boundaries of private?  Invest in good GPS technology, and don't get lazy cutting corners when you think you aren't being watched.  I've ALWAYS been surprised at the tolerance of landowners for trespassers - usually satisfied with a good arse-chewing and "don't do it again".  I've always encouraged those who complain about frequent trespassing to press charges, most of the places I've worked the deliberate trespassers know each other in many cases - and they also know which landowners DO press charges.  Guess which ones they stay off?

All I can say, as a former natural resources agencies' employee, is that anyone who works in a field managing public resources, who jeopardizes their livelihood by deliberately breaking any law connected with their employer's area of responsibility, is dumber than a box of rocks and no loss to the agency if prosecuted.  Over the last 30 years I've known several terminated or demoted for cause by state wildlife agencies for deliberate fish and wildlife violations - and not a one was a loss to the agency, the resource, or the public they serve.

I won't second guess anyone, but I wouldn't give a natural resource agency employee a second chance. There is absolutely no excuse. If he did it once, he's done it multiple times and needs to be terminated IMO.

Well said.  Being an employee of WDFW for 30+ years I would say the same.  If you want to stop trepassing, make them face the penalty.  If you want to cut someone some slack, you can usually recognize who made an honest mistake vesus those who didn't, based on demeaner and responses.  Like poachers they are stealing from you, animals lost, access lost.

DOUBLELUNG's last statement is right on.

Either way....word IS getting out.

Locals are usually the worst and I expect traffic to slow down.  It's a tough job patrolling and enforcing.....it makes you start to hate everyone.
