The Idiots/Thieves With Chainsaws Thread

[HemlockKing]

Road frontage isnt how its done here.  The local trouble house where noise goes on at all hours of the night will have a trail system from the back yard to wherever they can get away with it.   Logs will leave from the driveway.

They will coordinate with the pillhead firewood seller in proximity to run saws at the same time to cover noise. Youve got to stay ontop of these people.  We have acreage on either side of them. Every parcel that isnt mine has had outbreaks of disappearing buttlog disease.  You dont even see the pest.. Next thing ya know the top is just plum laid out on the ground in a mess.. Its wierd.

antique junk shops in the south or perpetual yard salers.. Theyre often a cover for the real operation too.  Constant traffic needs a reason.  Oh he was looking for some baseball cards. She just brung this here lamp in officer.

Stolen goods come in, prescriptions go out and the occasional tourist leaves some cash for some piece of mamaw's missing antiquity.

One thing to prevent is DO NOT ALLOW atv trails on your land, or it's over. Garbage will be everywhere, swamp holes dug up, fires, hunting, timber theft etc....it all seems to start with ATVs around here...

One time I let snowmobiles go on my land. They cut down my  trees down. No one goes out there now unless you're hunting on foot.

Hunting on foot? that's me, don't own an atv.

Used to talk to fellas I'd meet out hunting. They'd travel 20 miles of forest roads sitting on a seat looking for birds. They'd see maybe a couple and get one. I'd walk at most 1 mile on an old grown over forest road and have my 6 bird limit. Especially an old road with alders and some water crossing. Most people would never be hunting those old roads. At least I never met anyone else on one. I used to go to DNR and get 3' wide map sheets of cover types, and old roads marked. If I wanted a new spot, just dig out my map and go there. Get my birds.

Some of my favorite bird hunting was forest near where you came salmon fishing Doug. Between Bloomfield Bridge and the Renous Highway (Holtville Road), about a 30 mile stretch on forest road. Not far from the other end a friend owned a camp on Robinson Ridge. I'm not even sure those roads are maintained now, been 30 years.

Mike do you hate the snow / cold that much to live in an episode of Justified 🤦‍♂️😆 
 Friend of mine was strongly accused 3-4yrs ago, he didn't do it but the accusation still haunted him for a while, he got blacklisted at the mill, wasn't good. 

Lots of examples where private woodlot theft got away, no money to throw at it like the government has. DNR going after crown wood theft is very successful. DNR don't help a woodlot owner in court, monetarily or otherwise. Don't even investigate. You have to deal with a policeman, which most times hasn't any idea what they are looking at besides one having to prove they own the ground and the trees. Most times with unmarked boundary.

Here our Forest Service folk are officers, carry guns, etc just like US Park Rangers.  This means they can and will charge people. Since they can charge folks and oversee harvesting it is not helpful to your career to get on the bad side.  

There's 3 law enforcement agency's here, the ranger who was in this area for years retired, I thought the new guy would be half way decent and I'm not impressed, go after a local guy feeding his family but to lazy to get the 10-12 Atvs tearing up a couple dirt roads and state land roads. Sheriff dept is probably the best to deal with and they are local, troopers eh. Our sheriff dept will not enforce the safe act unless your an idiot, you get pulled over by a trooper with a hard on you wanna watch.
