I would report him to wildlife for prosecution.
In a heartbeat, several years ago here in Douglas Co. DNR went over their property on Badger Mt. It was amazing how many no trespassing sighns were removed and fences that were torn down that had been posted and blocked for years. :tup:

I know what ya mean, I've been on a handfull, hunt where I couldn't scout "WSMR in NM" or BC when I had a hard-on for a good Mtn Caribou
Done right, they are great. The guides I've been with have actually given me the reins when they figure out your not a city slicker which is
nice. Got screwed last year, didn't call any refrences, just handed over the money. Learned a valuble lesson, and lost a more valuble tag....

who is it goshawk might as well call him out so we know
I have no idea what the Bozo's name is. And, I'm not interested in finding out. My point is just that before you hand over your hard earned dollars you need to do more homework than looking over a web-page. If the land owner(s) ever see him doing it, and if they file a complante, then something can be done. It takes the land owner to start the process and that's the snag.

Sounds like you could care less about reporting him, which is your choice.
To whom do I report him to, since I'm not the land owner or an agent thereof?

-There's a couple ways to go about it. If it's private timber land that allows walk-in, call your area's hotline. You obviously know who owns it so you'll obviously know which timber company hotline to call.
-If it's state or federal land, call the coppers.
-If he interferes with you and your hunting activities, call the warden.
And don't forget to tell him to kick rocks when/if you're legal to be there yourself.
Sometimes it's beneficial to you to keep hush hush, as in when it's keeping your hunting pressure down. :twocents: deposited here.

I would love to some day afford to buy my daughter either an elk or moose hunt (its the only reason I buy a lotto ticket).
For me to do a couple of weeks of scouting in Moose country like BC or Alaska, buy and lug enough gear to make a camp then take time off work and go hunting with her just can not happen.

If I ever do see him again, I'll be sure to write down a license plate or remember his name for public posting. Another part of the problem is that this timber company does not really care enough to try and chase down this problem, because it's not a problem for them. They figure the more people on their lands, the more exposure to damage and injuries, so a loose cannon running off others is not necessarily a bad thing so long as they are not subject to bad press.
