went hunting with the brother and lady this morning. i got permission to hunt some new property this year so thats where we were. had a couple does that were running between us and i finally mqnaged to get one to stop at thirty eight yards. had a softball size hole to shoot through. well i made it through the hole just fine but missed. it was the ladies first time so she was just happy to see deer. so after our hunt we hung a two man ladder stand on the property. i go back this evening and the stand is on the ground in pieces my blind is trashed and full of garbage all my lanes have sticks blockibg them off. im still not sure exactly what happened. i dont know if i interuppted them trying to steal it or they are ticked im there. im only one with permission on this property but it ajoins another. yes i was on my property and no i wasent on the lines. when i walked in i heard them laughing and this set me off the edge. not knowing if threy were armed i ran home got the gun and went back. i never found them. im still hot over the situation. i left a nice note on my blind with phone number. i hope they call so we can have a nice talk. worst part of the whole situation is the home owner told me they dont want any trouble and i couldnt hunt anymore. what would ypu do?

Sounds like you've ran into some worthless folks. The landowner probably knows how worthless and troublesome those people are and simply doesn't want to deal with them. Can't hardly blame him. tough situation.

the house and asked about me hunting. and im pretty sure if you walked into what i did without a weapon you would have bailed out to. hearing someone laughinh at you and giggling after they wrecked your stuff doesnt set well when you cant see where theyare.

There is no deer in the World worth risking your safety over. Take the "high road" and chalk it up to one of life's lessons. There are better places to hunt, and better days ahead.

Yes, I would get the ICO involved. "Running home to get your gun" is only going to escalate things. Originally posted by traditionalarcher17: Id still inform the local CO, and dont let them bully you out of a good area.

Im not one to "call the law", but I recently had to come to the conclusion that a conversation with the Game Warden was my best option. By the Grace of God I have maintained permission on all my propertys, however, the past five years have deposited hunters on two property lines of a pie shaped farm. One of these aholes tried to tell me I was tresspassing on our first encounter, but I got him lined out on the matter...Now, he likes to leave his stand too early, and drive laps around a cut field, cause he knows I'm just inside the woodline hunting the trails out.(I don't think either of us have killed a deer in the evening since our first encounter) When I started having to fight the urge to shoot him I decided to call the law, and it turns out, what he's doing is called "hunter harrassment" by the State of Indiana.....Prolly your best option too.... I dont know where you stand with the landowner, but if you can work something out with him, DON'T be run out. If you'll run, they will let you.
SHHH.... Be vewy vewy quiet,I'm hunting WABBITS

thanks everyone for the help and input. the problem being is the property that adjoins my property is owned by a trust company and is just twenty five acres of woods and a lake. noone lives there. i have done all i can to locate the owner to no prevail. im going to continue my research and see what i can find. and just cause i pulled my stuff out doesnt mean i wont appear back out during the season. calling co will do no good as i have no clue who did it.

yes hoosier hunter. it is a trust company. i sent a letter to the address it had in florida of the owners and it was returned to me. i am giving up for now as its not worth the fight. i have my clue who did it as i have seen him out around here all week. just have to be able to prove it was him. the reason i was so mad is cause this is the first private property ive had to myself and it is loaded with deer. but thats part of it i guess.
