Wanna…. Glad the truth came out in the end. So often people who THINK they are not seen display their true colors.

Now whada ya say we we go in together and start selling shovels on this site? Sure seems to be plenty of people who aren’t worn enough nor bright enough to know when to quit digging.

Three people on a 4 wheeler?

Yes sir. Had we been able to speak to them nothing would’ve happened. We realize sometimes people do stupid stuff, just wanted to remind them to not do it on this property.
I really thought the title would be a dead giveaway.

As far as their timing…they went to their lease which is across the paved road and down a dirt road. When they heard nothing there, daddy told them to come down this way because there was another property with the same lease name. They drive their 4-wheeler to that property and parked at the gate and hopped the gate and then from there they heard birds on this property and that’s where they really screwed up.

I found the tracks, followed back to where they parked at the gate, and because it was muddy, was able to follow the 4-wheeler tracks on the paved road to where they turned off down the dirt road and had parked the truck. I then used OnX to see who owned the land and saw it was the same that borders our property. So the manger called the lease hunters next to us and it wasn’t them. He then called the “overseer” of those particular properties and they told us who was hunting, but they weren’t on the property that borders ours…supposedly…because that’s not their lease. So the manager asked the leaser to call him…and y’all know the rest of the story.
Again, just own up to your mistakes instead of being a jerk about it. The truth and a kind attitude gets you a lot better reaction than an I don’t care attitude.

Heck I got caught shotgun hunting a bow only section on a Federal installation. I had no clue there were different sections for shotguns and bows. I guess what got us a warning and not a ticket and was our attitude and the fact we waved the GW down.
With that said we did get checked by a Federal GW every day for the rest of our hunt. If they saw our truck, they were waiting for us when we walked out, lol.
Were we in the wrong…Yes! Did we know…NO, but we owned up to it. Did we get upset at being checked every day? Nope, that guy was a wealth of knowledge and had some cool stories.

Ground control to major Digger……. Too funny.
If you somehow are serious about that question, then it’s my fault for not recounting the incident better. No, I believe I said early on that “on separate machines I led him out of that country”. Anyway.
Some people cannot appreciate how gawd awful thick the bush in northern MN can be late summer. One sharp trail turn and you won’t look back and see lights until they come around and catch up. I should have been more attentive to his following me and known I’d lost him.

Topics done, it’s been an interesting one. You have a great day.
