*UPDATE*


Nathan was suppose to have his pre-trial conference last week but was unable to make it. The prosecutor called me and said that it has been rescheduled for 23 February and he plans on changing his plea from "Not guilty" to "guilty".

What about a tree stand a 1/2 mile back from the road on Fed Land?
Let's say it's 5-8 years old and still sound/safe.
Can I use it and if so am I obligated to vacate siad stand upon request/demand?
I have built a few and never had a problem, but I could.

I believe the regs say that stands and blinds on public property are free game for ANYONE and EVERYONE.

As I recall from school, whether property is abandoned is basically a totality of the circumstances test--meaning if given all the circumstances a reasonable person would conclude it's abandoned--then it is technically abandoned and if one takes it they have a defense to theft. With your tree stand idea lets say you saw it there a few years in a row and it started to form moss on the rungs that was never disturbed from a climber. If you took it or used it I don't think there would be any violation of the law. Just my opinion and I have seen a few theft prosecutions fold because of interesting facts like that.

If it's a stand or trail cam leave it alone, eventually the owner will come back for it. As for the other crap that's left to seem like a long term camping trip or living in the woods, just report it. Don't be apart of the blue falcon crew and take what's not yours. Keep it up whomever you steal from will probably take your stuff out of your truck/put something on their devices that will harm you.

The pre-trial conference for Nathan Allison is SUPPOSE to be on Thursday. Unfortunately I will not be able to make it but I have been told that he will be changing his plea from "NOT GUILTY" to "GUILTY" I will be calling the prosecutor's office on Friday and I will get an update on what happened and what his punishment, if given one, was.

I just got off the phone with the prosecutor's office. Nathan Allison changed his plea from "NOT GUILTY" to "GUILTY". I was told that these were his punishments: 20 days of at home electronic monitoring. He cannot leave his house for 20 days and has to pay for the electronic device tracking him. He is placed on probation until 2021. He must get an Interlock Ignition Device(a breathalyzer for your car) installed, he must pay fines, and restitution to be determined at a later date.

Pain is temporary, achieving the goal is worth it.

I didn't say it would be easy, I said it would be worth it.

Why would he have to get a interlock on his car? This makes no sense!

Vandalism of trail camera

I'm not too sure. The only thing I can think of, is that he had a prior alcohol conviction. He's a repeat offender, so i wouldnt be shocked

So I got clarification on the interlock ignition device, the breathalyzer for the vehicle.

He also got a DUI.
