booby-trap

Don't do it you will burn your own A$$ My neighbor tried this years ago & got in alot of trouble with the police
 
my dad traps and they are super strict about what you can and cannot do...and thats for animal trapping...let only any other possible contraptions that you may set up for any reason
 
having alot of trouble with people trespassing on hunting land. mostly atv's/dirt bikes/ stolen deer stands you know. the normal crap. has gotten worse in the last few years.
 
A bud of mine has the same issues... trespassers & thieves...

Seems that folks from some "latin" & "island" countries are partial to eating the goats he raises to keep his fields and creek banks "cleared"...

He figured out where they were entering... bought a couple of cheap digital "wildlife" cameras (have motion sensors = click!), strapped them up in a couple trees nearby and viola! A perfect set of digi's (faces, tag #s, & other incriminating stuff) dropped off with both his county sheriff and the neighboring county sheriff (his property borders the countyline) = about a dozen folks (majority illegals :shaking: ) being rounded up & hauled in. Not to put too fine of point on this, but they were ALL 16-21 y/o :rolleyes:
 
well damn, if its on your property, then it is prolly on amanda's property too...its only gonna get worse after that subdivision is finished. :(

I get all kinds of pictures of trespassers/ poachers on my land in Rocky Mount and the cops/ GW's love them- its hard to deny being caught in the act. The technology is such now that I can leave them (the cameras) strapped in the tree and ride out with my laptop, plug in the USB cable, download and be gone in minutes. no fuss, no muss, and better yet, no developing. post a few laminated printouts of the culprits on the cables that they have been cutting and it will end soon. nothing says 'your gonna get busted' than evidence of the fact that youre being watched. *** just be sure to turn off the camera flash!!! course it would be fun to take all of the trespassers and go 'shark fishing'. gotta get chum from somewhere.
 
Yeah, not a good idea. I believe you can even be taken to court if someone hits your brick mailbox and get hurt! No injury or loss can be endured even if someone tresspasses!
 
well i wanted to do some fun stuff. Indiana Jones/ Temple of Doom type stuff. Trip wires. Big nets that catch people, swinging logs, arrows shooting from the woods. Spring loaded spike strips. Falling timber. Dig a pit and cover it with leaves and have pointed sticks at the bottom. Quick sand. Alligator Pit. Snake Pit. Ya know the normal stuff.
 
A guy I know got clotheslined by an unmarked steel cable a landowner strung across an ATV trail at a particularly fast section down in Brunswick county. Coincidentally, it was at neck level. :rolleyes: He shouldn't have been on that land without permission, but had he been going as fast as most people ride, it would have really fucked him up, if not killed him. There's a big fat line between trying to keep people off your land and trying to injure them, and that guy definately crossed it.

I'm all for people doing what they want with their land and it pisses me off when people don't respect that. I'm sure your previous post is a joke, but don't kill anyone.
 
Years ago in the neighborhood I grew up in the guy who lived on the corner used to get his yard "turfed" about every weekend. He put 2x4's painted green with nails through them, pretty damn funny to see cars with 4 flats the next morning out there.
Unless you're ok with getting sued, I probably wouldn't do it.

Have had issues with people trespassing on land I own in Alamance County. I'd be interested to know what kind of cameras you're using and where you go them, since you're happy with them.

Thanks!

For the ATVs that tresspass, 1 lb of 3" #9 screws will take care of that problem. Just remember where you put them

We had a similar situation down at grandaddy's place that had been ongoing for far too long. Our local authorities had done nothing with over 250 pictures many of which showed license plates and at least a dozen showed the lock being cut off by two people.

We were told that if you injured any person you culd face charges, however any damage they sustained to their vehicle as a result of treaspassing would be on them, provided that nothing *negligent* was done on our part that could cause bodily harm.

Since that time Grandad has had 3 nice catches.

The first involved a railroad tie with 5 railroad stakes sticking out of the ground buried through one narrow part of the trail. (BTW he has one of those oh so popular power line trails)

He inherited a late 70s Bronco with 44s for a few weeks as a result.

Then after that this asshat and his buddies got smart. First they cut down a tree to go around the spike strip, then tore down his fence to get around, then tore it down again to get back on the trail. Apparently the large attraction was a very nice mudhole down near at bottom of a very large draw. Well my grandad decided, if you can't beat 'em join 'em.

Since they obviously liked playing in big mudholes, he had me drive the backhoe down there, a full day playing on a back hoe, an hour spent hauling dirt to fill in a few holes on the farm, and some help from an uncle who is on the volunteer fire department (with the tank truck of course) it looked just about like it did before I started.

A week later there was a Brand new TJ (this was in ~97-98) and his buddies "BIG TRUCK" at the bottom of my playground....Underwater,...completely.

Guess what the Big truck was, the same aforementiond 70s bronco. Only now it was rolling on some 40" Gumbos...

So proceed at your own risk, but I do know the kids dad that owned the TJ sued Granpa, and the judge laughed it out of court, after ordering him to pay our lawyer fees and physical damages and time to repair the fence.
 
:lol: That's funnay..
