Never by a competitor (I don't think), but have been turned in by people who just didn't like trapping. Twice they took tags off my traps, both times the GW looked at everything in my truck and had me show him a few sets, all legal, no issues. Been turned in for trespassing on their land, turned out they were trespassing on the land I had permission on.

Not trapping, I'm sure one ADC company does it, just the type of people they are, nobody else knows what they are doing blah blah crap
But 20 years ago I had the ATF/FBI try it, I was doing business with some guys that they were investigating, and I think they didn't get as much for the $ they spent. So they started a fishing expedition. I nibbled all the way up to the hook ( I had them figured out) and when they tried to set the hook I said " nope can't do that it's illegal". I didn't get the $20g or the charges.
Keep everything legal and you are fine
Local warden stopped by last spring for a surprise inspection of my fur buying business, had I ride along with him and he just showed the guy my shop said "this guy makes it easy, everything is marked with tags, so I don't worry about it, wish everyone else did it this way". Asked for my copy if my buyers license, took a picture of it to prove he was here and went upon his way
Just not worth it to make an extra buck

During the fur boom it was a common tactic for the lazy trappers to slow down the go getters.

Yeah, but it was taxidermy. Man said I had skinned an illegal bear and was going to mount it? No not hardly but they raked me over the coals checking all my freezers. I was legit and always was - like I say stay by the regs/laws.

about 17 years ago, where I was hunting, the neighbors didnt like it. it was landlocked national forest, but we had access through a private property. they were stealing tree stands and running 4 wheelers all over - basically trying to run us off. we did take a 4 wheeler in one evening to get a bear out - two days later, the USFS Ranger shows up at my stand, and i climb down and we go through the licenses and basic questions. it all checks out, and he says he had a call about people running four wheelers - a few minutes later, here comes the neighbor, on a four wheeler with one of our ladder stands strapped to the back. it may have been one of the most beautiful moments of my life

Had a deer hunter on adjoining property call the warden on my once. I guess maybe the guy figured I was jack lighting deer or something. No worries. Everything was legal. Heck... the game warden didn't even ask to see my license or handgun permit. He just checked to see what I was doing, chatted a few minutes, wished me luck and went on about his business. Not until a month later did I find out from my property owner that the neighbor called the warden on me. Unfortunately I lost permission to trap that property because the neighbor didn't want me disturbing the deer travel patterns in the neighborhood. I hunt deer on occasion but man am I sure glad when deer season is over and all those "sportsmen" go back inside the house and watch football.

Glad I aint had that kind of mess happen to me, only thing that I can relate to is some Jack Wagon neighbors that have called LEO's on me for trespassing, which I didn't do, LEO's knew that, they asked them if they actually saw me do it, "No" well then you have no proof, they haven't messed with me this year, YET, they will I'm sure, so I kinda know how ya feel Aix.

Luckily for me, in my line of work, I'm actually good friends with (almost) all of the GW's in my area and they know exactly how I operate. They know where I put my sets, and how all my sets look, and also know that I am by the book always.
Have gotten a call once or twice saying someone was complaining about me breaking the law, only for him to tell me that he already handled the situation by shutting them down. Love it.

Back in the late 80s I had a traveling fur buyer try real hard to get me to trap and sell him some wolves or other protected fur bearers offered me big money if I would provide him more then I could legally trap, I had brought him 2 otters and a bobcat all legal and properly tagged and he gave me a better then fair price but wolves were totally protected then I never did go back to him even though he paid more then others.
About a year later there were a whole lot of people charged for illegally trafficking in protected furbearers

True story. One time got a call from a game warden. A local competitor called the game warden and complained that my partner and I had set 4" (inches) to close to the beaver house. The legal distance was 25' I believe. Four inches?? The guy took time to measure and find that our set was 4" too close. Asked the warden what to do. He said, "Chop the hole out (all under ice in those days) and move the pole set back 5".
Love that type of competition as they are so caught up in what they can do to be a pain, they do not focus on what they can do to be successful.

There's even more to say, but I'll save that for another time, or maybe not at all. My point for everyone, other than the coward, is that you need to be careful. There are sorry individuals out there that will lie, cheat, and probably steal to try to ruin you. They will attack you from different angles, trying to find any way that they can to stick you. . The ones that are upfront are almost respectable to a certain extent. The sorriest pukes will act like they're your friend, with full intentions of harming you.
Not only will they try to ruin you, they can also be a fraud. They may even claim to have imaginary conditions playing on your soft side, trying to con you out of your hard earned money for donations. [b]Maybe they're actually sick, but when dealing with a con man, ya never know what's true and what's false.
You just described " grumpy " aka " The Gildford Legend " to a T. Thats exactly how he opperates , he's been a loser all his life and hates to see anyone succeed where he continues to fail .He hides behind his keyboard on that blue site , with his hero bob w. Beware of this puke .

Yes. I was trapping public land in Arizona many years ago when it was legal. I was selling fur at a route pickup when a local trapper kept complaining that I was selling cats and that he could not catch a cat. One day he said "maybe I'll use bait." I just ignored the comment. Regulations required that bait not be visible at a 45 degree or above angle to the ground. I was complying with that restriction. Sand along roads clearly showed where I was pulling over to check traps. A game officer ran my line one day and uncovered forty something sets to check trap tags. He just left the traps lying on the ground. Not finding a violation, he moved tree limbs at one set to make a legal bait visible from above. He took pictures of the altered set, then stopped me and wrote a citation. I had out of state license plates on my truck and a had non-resident trapping license.

Last year I had someone call the GW on me. I was beaver trapping a creek that ran along a road. The warden(a new person that I didnt know) I was ask about my tags and was told that one of the traps I had out was not tagged and the rest were improperly tagged.One of my traps was obviously messed with and I'm 99% sure someone took the tag off of it but they have been known to come off. The law says I have to have my name and address on my tags BUT I have had a run in a few years ago with a bunny hugger that was trying to kill me so I just put my name,town and state and my IDNR customer number. With that information any GW can find me. She and I argued back and forth and she was going to write me a ticket for this. I ended up texting a GW that I know and he came over and smoothed it all over for me. Im pretty sure I know who it was that called the law on me. and you can bet I will remember that.

I might have that problem this year. I hunt Fed land in Mid Mo in the Ozarks, and last month I went to fluff up, re-brush my ground blind I found a large cleared area with feed corn in it, 50 ft from my blind. The guy came by and said he was gonna have his 14 yr old Daughter hunting this yr during the Youth season. Hunting over bait is illegal in Mo, and I can only hope it's all gone by season.

Aix sponsa-
Do you guide hunters and fishermen because you mentioned "clients" of yours? To me, the story sounds like this loser either got some sick fascination, kind of a "Fatal Attraction" buddy thing OR he was really after to ruin your other outdoors revenue making venture. I'm guessing the second thing and everything was pre-planned from the beginning. Like crow1971 said, they guy will get what he deserves, either in this life or in eternity.

I'm glad we don't have to put up with that "trap tag" crap here in South Dakota. I'm sure there are people that will argue they are a good thing but I can't see the good outweighing the hassle, especially these stories where people will ill intent can easily take them off someone ele's gear.

You do know you can block facebook stalkers don't you? Why put yourself through all of the bullcrap associated with a shady person like that? Call him out for what he is and move on down the line.

Deer hunters found a dead buck on one of My best farms, Hunter told me it looked like 8-9 pt was shot in head w a .22. I called fish n game right away, I was afraid someone would think I had shot it, warden looked it over and determined it was hit by a car, got half mile from the road. It made a good attractor for coyotes!

Had permission to hunt deer and turkey on 120 acres about 5 minutes from my house. It was great for about 7 years as I own my business so basically hunted turkey about every morning before work. I was successful on my two birds about every year. Well a very good friend of mine would call about every day and ask about my day. Next thing you know he had backhanded permission to hunt there, next thing you know I only get permission to deer hunt and trap it (he is a big turkey hunter). So after he screws me and I am barely talking to him he then accuses me of illegally baiting turkey (my buddy has 8 acres that butts upto it) and hunting too close to a structure. I said I can be there in 1/2 hour and will have the GW meet us both there. If there is evidence of baiting I will donate $1000 cash on the spot to the ODNR, if not you will leave me alone forever, he didn't take me up on his supposed slam dunk. I haven't talked to him in 4 years now but he still bad mouths me behind my back.

The next time you see him, you pound the pudding out of him. Aim for soft targets so as to not leave marks on either of you. I ain't scared of jail.

So what are these suspicious events of which you speak?

Yeh if they ever make public beatings legal I'm gonna be in a lot of fights. I basically told him that killing his Turkeys every year is more important than any of his friendships, sad really. Good luck Aix.

I once caught this huge otter In a 160 trail set for coon. The nearest water was a good distance away.
When I checked the trap (24 hour check) I had this otter In the 160. The trap was still on the H stand. That In It's self raised a red flag for me. Then when I looked at It's eyes they were all milky looking like it had been removed from a freezer and thawed out. Otter season was open but I didn't have a tag. I didn't touch that critter and called the cop shop right away. They put me In touch with a warden and he told me I It was Ok to remove It and bring It In. I said NO someone can come and get It. I told them where It was I think they already knew where It was. The next day It was gone.
I called the warden supervisor for my area. And asked If I had been set up, he said they don't operate like that. So the jury Is still out on that one.

Yeah, but it was taxidermy. Man said I had skinned an illegal bear and was going to mount it? No not hardly but they raked me over the coals checking all my freezers. I was legit and always was - like I say stay by the regs/laws.
J Did they at least have a warrant? sorry for a later response but no they didnt have warrants but most time they can come check a taxidermist's freezers without one. I think this is due to you getting the "license" taxidermy permit through the State. Anyway even if they had to have one I am the type it doesnt bother me? I knew both the wardens one didnt like me one did? and I wasnt gonna raise a fuss due to a good friendship with that warden?? and i had nothing to hide. J
