I shot a bird this afternoon on my place but I wasn't the only one. I was doing a little work outside when I heard three shots that sounded to close for comfort. So I ran up there and sure enough I see this dude tossing the turkey and celebrating. Long story short, I was irate and chewed them out. They claimed they had permission from the previous landowner but he hasn't owned it in 3 years. The bird he shot was one I wanted to save for my Dad because he is not getting to hunt much this year due to work. The bird had a 10 inch beard and at least inch spurs. Needless to say I am pissed!!
And for good reason. Did you call the local law enforcement?
No I did not. I should have. But didn't. However I made them very aware that if there is a next time they will be prosecuted and the TWRA officials will be there.
They should count their blessing! Hopefully the message sticks.
hey I'm sorry to hear that the bird you wanted your dad to gt is down that sucks... we deal with trespassers around our house too! It's cool that you let em off with a warning this time just in the small case they was telling the truth and thought they had permission! Hope it don't happen again, but now that they kno there's some birds there you better keep a good eye out on the place!!
