Yesterday I took a little time off and went to.do a little scouting around the property. While I was out I found what looks like a shooting lane and a small food plot together with a lawn mower and a trail camera on my patch. I am thinking of taking down the camera, putting it together with a note onto the mower telling the person to remove his stuff from my property ASAP and give him a week to do it
If the stuff is not gone by then, I’ll remove it
Would that be the right way to deal with the issue or is there a better way

Assuming SC prohibits baited hunting, call the DNR and ask them to investigate. Taking the law into your own hands isn't the way to go.

its your property do as think you best. it may be a neighbor. you might want to meet and shake hands. not good to get on the bad side of a neighbor. always a chance he was unaware you were taking possession. think I would keep a eye out and introduce myself when I found him. have a little conversation. polite conversation. always best imo to tread lightly till you get all the details

Is this property you recently purchased? Could be the owner of the mower and trail camera had permission from the previous owner and is unaware of the sale? It's easy to jump to conclusions, but difficult to change first impressions. If he's a neighbor, it's a good idea to be amicable. Think of how you would want to be received if you shot a deer and it ran on their property.

If you leave him a note, you may never know who he is. Leave the mower with a note with your number and take the camera. Then at least you can see what mind of deer are on the property!

I agree with Danny. Give the situation the potential of the best outcome. Could be an honest mistake made by a good neighbor.

I would start by checking with the previous owner and if he had granted permission for him to hunt that place. If not I would be more inclined to handle like Danny said.

I’ve hunted without permission, accidentally and otherwise. I’ve run into landowners and permitted hunters in both situations. I’ve been on the landowner side too. Now sometimes a person is a ne’re do well and should be dealt with accordingly. But mostly a grin and a conversation from both parties resolved all. Most old timers are secretly tickled to see a young man prowling for game. I am

I got stuck with a fine for Deer hunting/trespassing on a place that changed hands and I didn't know it. Judge didn't seem to care one bit. Could have been worse, as I cut a bunch of down/dead tree's for firewood for the cabin.

I like your idea Scuba1. The only suggestion I have is if after a week if they don't remove items leave another note with your phone # to contact you in person to retrieve items and talk about the situation. Don't leave your address though!

Or..... Scuba could put a wig and dress on. Then get in front of the trailcam holding a sign that says, Pa says, if you wanta keep a huntin R properti, you have to marry me!

That might fix everything. grin


I wonder if tap dancers walk into a room, look at the floor, and think, I'd tap that. I wonder about things.....

I was planning on leaving my number with that note
Either way I will not let anyone hunt in that spot as there is no backstop between it and the boat / camper /barn etc
Don’t need anymore holes in my place then what it was meant to have

Don't where white, it's after labor day. Purple, and show some leg. grin


On a serious note, it might be a good ole boy that didn't know you bought it. I'm sure if ya talk to him y'all can work it out.

I wouldn't tell him to leave in a note, just tell him you are the new owner of the property and need to talk to him. I wouldn't move his camera either, maybe hang a note on it and the mower. Face to face is how it should be handled. IMO. You may make a new friend.

I'd bring it all in to your place and leave a Note where the camera was and your Phone number.
