I spent Sunday afternoon hanging a couple new cams and moving my BEC's to some more secure areas. I wanted to hang a BEC near a well worn trail crossing the bottom at our farm. Two years ago, I caught Deuce crossing the bottom in this spot, so I've hung a stand and a camera at this spot hoping that this was a spot that another giant will use to crossing the bottom.
Anyways, I decided to do some scouting after I got the cam hung and headed up to the corn field that borders us to the N to check the moisture of the corn. When I got up there, I noticed a well work four-wheeler trail running between the corn and our line. I started following the trail until I came to a location where our fence had been cut and someone had helped themselves to our property. I did some more tracking until I found yet another cut in the fence with a well worn trail not 60 yards from my best stand out there. At that point, I was livid, so I called my dad on the phone to let him know I was going to start knocking on doors until I got some information.
I made a few stops to get some recon on who I thought was at fault without much success. Once I got to the place where I thought I would find the culprit, I realized I was off base. Turns out the neighbor I thought was at fault, had his camera, a stand, and a salt block of all things stolen this year. He told me that he knew who stole his stand and it was the same kid that ended up with Deuce. He also told me that he knew he was riding that trail. Son of a bitch!!!
This kid has been in juvy and thinks he is a regular Billy Badass. Last year at the fair when he was only 17, he got in my face because I sent my cousin to school armed with a few pictures to out him as a liar since he was telling everyone he killed Deuce with his bow. If he had been 18, I'd have kicked his ass right then and there. Now that he is 18 and I know he is stealing from people and tresspassing, he's about to find out how much of a badass he really thinks he is. I fixed the fence, added "POSTED" signs, and placed tack strips down in the areas they are riding. I plan on being out there as much as I can until I catch them in the act. I basically started a neighborhood watch on Sunday and this little bastard and his buddies are destine for a date with one pissed off Redneck!!!
