Shed hunting trespassers and rule breakers
ganghis:
So not justifying, but given the confusion on the county employee's part I'm wondering what OnX and other apps say about your land ownership right now? I've often encountered spots that look public on OnX but are posted, which makes me think it's someone trying to keep people off of public land by posting it. I usually just back off in that case since I'm not totally sure what the deal is, but I can see people jumping to that conclusion. Could that be a reason why you are getting people ripping down signs and stuff? Certainly sounds like more brazen activity than I'd expect!

The county guy just assumed. OnX is clear and my signs are actually 50 yards onto my property unless it is a spot the road. The road runs right through it.
See photo, blue lines are where the fencing is along the road. Red line is property line. Above is DNR below is my property. OnX shows the gate notation on the property line but in reality gate is clearly on my property. There are survey markers and a definite row of trees right at the red property line where the loggers marked when they logged DNR first and then my property years later.
Worst part of the county guy ripping down the signs is he has my phone number. I had given him permission to take a wounded warrior elk hunting on my place. Told him he was free to hunt anything with my orange signs on it so he knew he was ripping down my sign. When called out for it he contacted DNR and they told him that’s a private gate not on DNR land. We could have easily had a conversation about it, if he didn’t believe me he could call DNR and confirm I was right and not torn my sign down and thrown it in the bushes.

The biggest issues at this gate are damage to nearby cameras, gate left open when I have cattle grazing, gate being blocked with parked vehicles, this road goes off my property onto DNR and then loops back on and through my property. DNR has it posted as “authorized vehicles only” that’s DNR service vehicles, logging vehicles when there is active logging and myself and one other property owner who have an easement on and off the DNR land to get to ours. With that said many people think they are an “authorized vehicle” and drive in with trucks side by sides motorcycles pit bikes. They also set up camp on my property, leave trash, have fires even during burn bans. The list of stuff just goes on and on. The worst part is that this is done by hunters and then they complain when more and more land gets shut down.

Rainier you ever need someone to hang out and keep eyes on your property give me a shout. Would just be there to let people know where they can and cant go. I am the guy who sent you that photo of a no trespassing sign on my property with a BPA easement. Took me about ten years to finally get the point across to people that BPA lines run across private land. Spent a lot of time sitting at access points on opening days and talking with people. Of course it helped being in a Sheriff's Office patrol vehicle from where I was employed for 31 years. :chuckle:
