This time of year SLOB hunters tend to tick me off. It's when ya see a plastic bag all torn open with hide, head etc hanging out just tossed on the side of the raod.. Man can't these guys get it through their heads that it is just this sort of behavior that fuels the anti's fire.I know myself if I ever saw somebody doing it I would for sure report them somehow. sorry for the rant but it just burns my chops, saw two bags like that today in just 20 miles of driving. Ought ta ban em from hunting er somethin sheesh

That's just being a slob, period. The fact it was something picked up while hunting is incedental at that point.
I went to use a public boat launch one spring right after ice-out and found a pile of four deer remains that had been disposed of like that, right on the fryggin ramp. :cursing: I carry a shovel to clear the ramp of slippery weeds, and that day buried four torn up plastic bags of five month old deer "goo".
We have to pay by the bag for collection where I live. Unfortunately, I am the first house heading out of town where there is nothing but river on one side of the road. Every year I get gifts of dozens of dead Christmas trees, bags full of diapers, kitchen trash, mattresses, etc. How thoughtful of people to bring me all these nice things and place them lovingly on the bank in front of my house so I can appreciate their beauty and odors. But, I can't keep them all so I get to pay 80¢ per bag to throw them out myself. Hope they don't mind.
I'd live to give them something in return.
Preferably low in the abdomen and hollow-pointed.

These guys obviously don't know quality coyote bait when they see it. The enjoyable part II of many of my sucessful hunts is to tag a coyote or two over the gut pile the following morning. The dogs I don't get (and there are plenty of 'em) always finish off what remains. Yeah, pretty low rent tossing that stuff along the side of the road - takes all kinds I guess.
I agree...not only with remains from a hunt...but look around your neighborhood....every morning I make the rounds around my place picking up wind blown junk that comes in the yard...now I did not just get off the turnip cart...but no way are beer bottles, diapers and such blown in by the wind. I'd love to get my hands on the crud that just tosses that stuff anywhere.
5 or 6 months ago a deer carcass showed up along side out little road. It's bad enough to litter like that, but that far from the season is just thumbin' yore nose at the law.
We had a nice flock of turkeys here a couple of years ago, then found a mess of carcasses with just the breasts removed, and that wasn't near the season either. The game wardern says he's arrested three generations of this bunch, but they've never got morn'n a $50 fine. Some judge. :cursing: huh?

Hey Birdman,
I routinely get calls from the grandparents to chase people off their walnut orchards. They have 110-120 acres and a bunch of squirrels, coyotes, pheasant and rabbits. People are just plain rude. My in-laws own two duck clubs. One of them is across a private bridge from the main road. There are signs on both sides of the river and a gate on the far side of the bridge. I can't tell you how many times I have gone out there to hunt, fish or exercise my dogs and had to hook up a chain to someones car/truck and drag their vehicle off the bridge just so I can get in. Then, too top it all off I have to deal with some jerk who is indignant that I have moved their vehicle (despite the fact they have blocked me out) to get into our property. Then it really hits the fan when I tell them they have to leave the posted and fenced private property they are on. I went out one morning to my blind and found someone else in it. It was still dark and the jerks started waving a flashlight at me as I approached and yelling that I might spook their birds. My cousin and I had what I would describe as an "out of body experience" and escorted them off the property. Again, they were upset because we could have used a different blind! They just don't get it. I think that pretty soon I'll just start cutting off valve stems and let them pay to have a flatbed come out and recover the vehicles.

Nah, just pull the drain plug on the rearend of there vehicle so that the rear end burns up as they drive home. Or loosen the tranny or engine oil bolt.
Another fun thing to do is to break toothpicks off in their locks. Especially the ignition switch. Then they get to pay a locksmith to come fix their car! Plus, it is not destructive, so many areas don't consider it vandalism.
Of course, you could just press charges of trespassing. If they do that with a firearm, it is a felony...

IMO, there's a problem with all such retaliations with lowlifes...they're already doing worse things than you to begin with, and they'd up the ante if they found their vehicles trashed.
Next you'd find .30-06 holes in your engine blocks, or through you sets of radials, etc...and if the escalations continue, somebody could end up getting shot...a .30-06 goes a long way and nobody will be able to figure out where it came from...and lowlifes would do it too.
It's aggravating I know...have had two nice tree stands stolen off the same posted piece of private property I hunt the last two years in a row...same MO so it's the same guy...can't tell you the things I've thought about trying to do, but had to let go of it...
Yea, your right of course, but at times i sure feel like doing some of the above to people like that.

I have to agree that head/skin, etc in a plastic bag is reprehensible, but it's better than the whole body of a buck with the head with the rack cut off and dumped in the ditch. Also, sometimes around here they have to "earn a buck" and a doe is shot, tagged several times by half a dozen guys and her whole is dumped in the ditch. I just don't get it, the waste is unbelievable, but there it is. Sure burns me up because they have a program that will take the venison meat for charitible use. :cursing:
Stumpkiller,
If you can stand the smell/mess, go thru the bags from time to time. If they are inconsiderate enough to throw their trash out like that, they might be dumb enough to throw away mail or other material with their name and address. The law will probably take it from there.

Then again, I would be all the willing to deliver the mess back to them......it musta just fell outa your truck huh? Glad I got it back to you in one piece! Someone coulda gone thru this and did bad things to your credit! :hmm:
Here, several of you would go to jail for tampering with a motor vehicle. You can't move someone's car without permission, even if it is blocking your front door, much less your drive way. Opening a car door and reaching in can get you jail time. This is what cell phones are good for. Early in the morning you disturb the local constabulary with a call about the problem. They don't think it is any funnier than you do, and they get a lot less lip and hassle. Years back I had many confrontations with tresspassers. I am older and lot more evil now. Let them deal with the cops. Let them miss a days work or better to go to the court hearings or at least have to pay the fines.
We had problems with several big dog clubs running the farm until some inventive person in the area started catching the dogs and putting their radio collars on a piece of wood and throwing it in the creek. Funny how getting hit in the pocketbook opens peoples eyes!

Might try a trail cam to see if you can identify the culprit dumping the trash. I'm sure the local authorities could use the assistance and cash from the fines for littering. I have a place along a busy state highway, so much trash gets tossed out of passing cars that it's unbelievable. What ticks me off the most is a lot of it is from a local fast food restaurant. I took a bag full of it to their manager one time and said here this is yours, care to share some of the profits as I'm doing half your job.
Good luck

We've got the same problems out here with what we call slob hunters coming out to our what used to be legal shooting range . I was a BLM area about 10 acres that we could shoot 7 days a week from dawn to dusk . It was open for 20 or 30 years that I know of anyway the slob hunters kept bringing tons of garbage tv sets washers and dryers paint cans computers propane canisters , anything they could find they'ed shoot it all up and leave it. A few of the locals and myself tried to keep up with the mess by hauling it home to our own dumpsters but we could'nt keep up with all of the manure they kept dumping off there . Finaly the BLM warned several times they would close the place down if it did'nt stop they put up signs and they used them for targets now we don't have a good legal place to shoot . the only good thing about it is they lost there place to shoot now too . I still have my own acerage to shoot on but it sure was nice to have a place to meet with like minded shooters and have a good time. we could shoot from pellet guns to 50 cal , shotguns center fires old and new I was able to collect several pounds of once fired brass of every caliber you can imagin , I'll never have to buy any ammo for several calibers just bullets or moulds . all lost to the slob hunters , what a shame.

YOu should be able to get their names from the courthouse records, if the game warden doesn't want to share that with you. Then, get 20 or so friends and pay them a visit. Talk to them. They can count noses. You don't have to threaten them, or get ugly. Just talk to them about why it is important to all of you that they stop poaching. These guys do not like the public exposure, and if they see 20 or more cars and pickups lined up outside their home, when you call on them for that friendly chat, they will get the idea that too many people " know their business", and that it might get mighty unhealthy for them to continue doing business where you live. Crooks are the most paranoid people around, and all you need to do is give them more reasons to worry than they have fingers and toes to count !
