I stayed in La Paz for two weeks back in the late 90's. They were trying to build some houses down by the water...the copper wires kept getting ripped off, so they could never complete the projects....

Good post. Ask permission.

I dont see what good arguing on the internet is, You cant prove that he is shooting coyotes on the road and quite honestly even if he is who cares as long as he is making shots that are clear from houses/livestock. I dont approve of shooting from the road but its a damn coyote its not like its a buck or a bull its a stupid ass dog.

lol i like the way you think  i just cant stand when people act like the perfect hunter like they have never shot a coyote in a field out in the middle of no where but oh well your right no point in arguing about it on here, it just escalades and turns into some big stupid argument and we just start calling names and what not...

You guys are right, and sounds like we are all on the same side.

The only point I would like to make, when holes turn up in signs, or garbage left out in those fields, when a fire is left unattended, or you find a fire ring in the woods with garbage in it like beer cans and bottles.....Who left it???

Not goody-tooshoo tree huggers, our own. The statement wasn't about shooting dogs at all, its about Trespassing.

I treat all lands as I would want my land to be treated. Ain't that all that its about?

Sorry for treating you badly Predator Pro, sounds like you might be one of the good guys. I am too. I don't drop garbage, and I've been know to stuff other folks stuff in my pack, I know some of it is by mistake.

Gentlemen; the original post was only attempting to point out the obvious, You can not turn onto a ditch road without driving past keep out -private road no tresspassing signs, posted by the various irrigation districts. In saying that they are not for use by the public, and it is considered tresspassing, regardless if you have permission of the farmer or not!
The second part of the original post was to inform of the changing mindset of the farmers and how they treat trespassers now with the increase in farm thefts and crime.
If you care check out Moses Lake Craigslist-Barter-Thieves.Nov 16 2010
Have no idea who posted this on craigslist, however most feel that law enforcement and the prosecuter"s office are ineffective, which I fear will lead to a severe "accident".
However most farmers are still willing to call the authorities and hope, but it is a poor time to be slowly driving past the back of a farmers house, haystack , machinery, or farmstead.
And I have seen farmers hearing rifle and pistol shots ,rush to investigate who is shooting and where.  Its just common sense folks ,these are trying times,
If someone was offended by the original post I am sorry, just an attempt to inform the masses.

Jack..I took your post as little rant. Wether there is a need or not to point out the obvious. I dono. What I do see many times on a bunch of these internet forums is some touchy people. Its really easy to missinterpret what is meant in a post. I try to put some personality in many of my posts, and I have pissed more than one person off. What they don't know is that it isn't intended. Just a messed up attempt at humor. A lot of people get all puffed up way too quick. This is a harmless post, and I don't see why it would bug anyone.

Here is another opinion. Or call it a statement if you all want. What the heck is wrong with bailing out, and taking the easy one? I will bail out of my rig, and wack a coyote in a flat second. Not if it involves tresspassing. States were its legal. I lost track of how many tanks of gas I have gone thru road hunting vermin. Heck I have a table that mounts to my door window. I have so many shells on my dash, and floor ya need a shovel to clean them up. Many of you wouldn't like hunting with me with your take on the evil road hunter. Just sayin.... I like to hunt as much, or maybe even more than some of you, and when the easy one presents itself. I'm as guilty as it gets for taking advantage of a drive by. Laws, and safety apply......My rant for the day. Its a little off topic but my mix on all the posts. Ya don't have to be a knucklehead to shoot from a rd were legal to do so. Maybe I'm a azzhole.

One thing I've noticed is that it doesn't matter what you say on here, there's always going to be the one-upping hall-monitors jumping at the chance to waddle his finger at you and correct your evil ways.  I agree, too many *censored*bags proofreading in here.

a small town mentality as far as driving canals is just different then what most people think....everyone knows everyone ditch riders just wave at you as you drive by (unless your driving a subaru) then they know your not from here but your still right it is technically illegal to drive on them, i know a few farmers that have had stuff stolen from them, normally trying to steal copper or parts out of farm rigs so they can buy some meth   some one always has to ruin it for everyone

So right.....

Here's one to think about folks.....I now live on a lake with some wetlands. A guy brings his decoys, a black lab, and his son to shoot a few. I get the 'ol binoc's out, and watch a bit, and I notice the guy tipping up a flask, then after a bit he starts punching his dog. I mean full out punching on his dog. I have no idea why, but I can't help but think, "Geez, what an a$$hole, what's he teaching his son?".
I have some harsh feelings about this, and won't post 'em on here, but anybody that beats their kids, wife or animals is a total a$$clown in my book, especially if they do it in public.
Hall-monitor? Sure......somebody has to be.
