Headed home. People suck sometimes.

Good luck everyone!

I’m really bummed out. Had some nice deer on my cam and put in a lot of time over the past 4 months.

I talked to the owner and no one else has permission to hunt there. It is raw undeveloped land and I’ve found a lot of miscellaneous trash out there, so I know people wonder through. We will be back, but I won’t be leaving equipment there anymore lol

Post by: jrebel on September 01, 2023, 11:56:52 AM: My buddy has 40 acres in Snohomish County along the skykomish river. It is remote with limited access, minus his driveway. He gets homeless meth heads that walk the river and constantly steal his gear. If you are finding trash, my guess is there is a homeless camp within a couple miles. Sucks...sorry to hear this happened to you. Be careful out there and make sure you take protection as these guys will attempt to rob you blind given the chance.

I had a few close calls opening day but no shots fired. Stalked into this guy today and shot him on his bed at 20 yards. (https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20230902/55b43d2790841a539d4fd65f1e9c4a8e.jpg)
