If you don't do anything about it nothing will ever change. Report them and keep following up with it. If you don't react it doesn't pay to keep telling us about it. Get the authorities on it and stay on it.
Report the incident and press charges. It will continue to happen until you stand up for your rights. Why haven't you contacted the authorities already?
They're trespassing on private property with a weapon, thats jail time and a fine, prosecute. Don't let idiots get away with that crap. God Bless y'all. John V. Michigan
Agree 100% fellow Michigander! That wouldn't be tolerated in our neck of the woods without an immediate call to a CO & Sheriff Dept. Also helps that we're a 'Castle Doctrine/Stand Your Ground' state. Don't Tread On Me. 😉
I don’t think so, though you should definitely trespass them. Merely being on private property while being armed does not warrant jail time, and I’m sure you can see how that would violate some rights. Unless you feel like any property owner could impose jail time over you carry a firearm. That being said, yes, trespassing them is the first step. Anything pertaining to jail time would be far further down the line.
Contact your game warden and sheriff with your evidence. File trespass on them. Does not appear you have evidence to file theft on them. Several states put points against one's license privilege if a person is found guilty of trespass. Hopefully, this might teach them a lesson. This recommendation is from a former game warden.
If you don't contact the sheriff you might ax well take you sign down they are laughing g behind your back! You can use spray paint purple color 3ft to 4ft high Around a tree every 40 ft that means NO TRESSPASSING !
The trespassing charges gives the GW the right to a search warrant... which might help find that missing camera.......... ALSO... from truck tag to hunting lic... could lead a paper trail to any deer that was tagged in by the truck owner
state @ireneswasey3688 I don't know what state you live in or what your legal experience is. To obtain a search warrant, you need to have probable cause. Simple trespass does not give an officer probable cause. This is where the game warden's or sheriff's investigatory skills come in. By interviewing trespassers separately, you can sometimes get enough information to have probable cause. Hopefully, there will be an experienced and skilled game warden or sheriff's deputy to do the interviews.
Its nice to own so much property, but it would be nice if you allowed hunters to hunt your grounds. 99.9 % of hunters would not sue you if they got hurt like some people are posting. this is why i hunt in national forest as not to put up with the BS of property owners who do not want hunters on their property, i know you pay the taxes and all. But i can remember growing up hunting, people were a lot more lenient towards hunters on their property. we used to stop and ask if we were allowed to hunt and most would say just go you do not have to ask, but you have my permission to hunt when ever you want. Boy have times changed.
@kennylavay8492 As you said “we used to stop and ask”. Unfortunately a lot of people feel entitled to do what ever they want and don’t even have the common courtesy to ask. Back when I owned a large property people came onto our property and did all kinds of damage to our fields and fences. Those are the types of people that have created the issues. NOT the property owners.
@@kennylavay8492 DOES NOT LOOK LIKE THESE POACHERS/TRESPASSERS READ YOUR NOTE, THEY DIDNT ASK THIS LAND OWNER FOR PERMISSION! HE SAID HE HAS SIGNS WITH HIS PHONE NUMBER.
I've been asking landowners permission for yrs and get turned down, always a story about another hunter that did something to make them not allow it. So I keep hunting the public land
@@shaneshubert1663 exactly, some folks just do not want hunters on their land, it is not like it used to be. but you are correct always a story of some other hunters who damaged something or they are worried about getting sued if you get hurt on their land. to me it is all BS that is why we decided to hunt game lands or national forest. Then the game commission wonders why there are less and less hunters out there. No one wants to put up with the BS of getting turned down constantly.
One day I was driving down my road as I had just left to go shopping with my sister and my niece she was like 4 years old at the time. All the sudden I heard gun shots and I could tell that someone was hunting because I knew what their truck looked like. So I immediately called the police. The gunshots were so close I’m surprised it didn’t hit my car. Well I turned around and met the police and game warden at my house. They saw a deer, shot across the road and it turns out they were all drunk and had been drinking. I’m just thankful we didn’t get hurt or killed but they were arrested immediately.
I'm a former sheriff deputy and I highly recommend that you get your sheriff involved. The reason is so they can't sue you if something happens, and to put a stop to it.
exactly, liability. you knowing they are trespassing and doing nothing vs. they are trespassing, and you have filed a report. Doing nothing could be argued as implied consent in a lawsuit if an accident happens depending on the laws of your state. Had this discussion with my attorney.
@markwages3609 I use to work for an insurance company and yes you can be responsible even if they are trespassing. That's why I suggested contacting the police because hard working people don't deserve to have to put up with this. And thank you for your service as a cop sir I know it is a really hard job because my son is also a cop
I had this problem on my land in NH and I posted No Trespassing signs and No Hunting signs every 20 feet down my driveway and around the perimeter that was on the road and it finally stopped.
You should contact the police because from a legal point of view, if one of them got hurt on your property, they can sue you even though they are trespassing. Always cover yourself so nothing can hurt you.
You can sue for anything. However upon a first hearing a judge will render if the case has any standing (merit). In the situation you described in your comment. A judge would find that a trespasser would Not have legal standing for the case to continue. Especially, if Dutch has plenty of signs in reference to No Trespassing.
Exactly! If you make a report at least the police would know. When I was a land owner if you posted no trespassing and report if you see them would keep you legal
Funny yesterday i saw this video on another browser and could not comment. Excellent news as you now have the new RUclipsr stars on display. You have the proof to kick their ass. Nice one with the cameras.
I think it’s extremely important to report this to the sheriff and game warden because if you don’t, these criminals will do this to others, so it’s almost a responsibility to report this
I would advise to report. I lived on a 300 acre farm with one pond along an isolated road. A truck stopped along road which was clearly posted and entire property fenced, started shooting at ducks in the pond. Our home and original barn were up a slight hill. The bullets were hitting our steel barn, we could hear the noise and walked of barn out to see what was happening. We often were walking different directions at that barn to get to our other three barns which were out of site behind with two more large ponds. My husband followed carefully and got the plate number. Police and game wardens raided the home shortly after, denied being in area but they had a witness in a police car. They had tow trucks down the road to remove vehicles and took all the weapons on the property. Very scary for us as we had small children and a large livestock count.
How DARE THEM! Dutch you need to turn all of this footage including their license plate numbers into law enforcement so that the police can charge them with trespassing. If they’re not stopped then they are just going to keep doing it. ITS DEFINITELY NOT WASTING THE SHERIFF AND THE GAME WARDENS TIME. THIS IS EXTREMELY DANGEROUS to you and your family who will be hunting those woods.
They get PAID to take care of this. Stop thinking that YOU'RE imposing on law enforcement for doing their job. Might not hurt to also contact your lawyer with this evidence & copies of criminal reports.
Sean please report them. It may be just a camera today but tomorrow it could be your camper or any of your tools and other equipment you sometimes keep there at the property. They will just keep coming back if you don't put a stop to it. Also by reporting them, it's documented so if something happens it's on record that you reported it. You also want to let them know that you are aware of them trespassing onto your property so they know they are being watched. Best of luck to you on whatever you decide to do. Please be extra careful when going there alone or with your girls.
We had a guy sneaking about on our place, not hunting, but everything is posted. I put his picture from our trail cams on local community face book page. There are people who will help or just maybe like to talk. But we knew his name, where he lived, his history of marriages, and kids, etc before it stopped. I had the guys name and where he lived within a few hours! So share your information right down to the pics of the truck and tags. Someone will see it and report to you who it is. Or the trespassers will see it and go someplace else. He did come and apologize. When he did that and we had a CLEAR understanding I took it off face book. It's been 2 years and no more issues.
That’s crazy because I have a guy that keeps going into the woods where I have permission to hunt no one else is allowed to go there he doesn’t carry a gun that I can see but he’s always messing around my food supplies for my deer like like salt blocks my corn piles I’ve even seen him with his cell phone taking pictures of my corn pile so I did the exact same thing I posted his picture on Facebook everybody knew who this guy was and he was doing the same thing everywhere around the whole area trespassing on peoples property without permission even though he wasn’t hunting he thought he was a tough guy this guy actually told me he didn’t give a damn what I had to say well let’s just say the game warden did not agree when he called him. He was arrested and charge for trespassing. He’s waiting to go to court we don’t know what his fines are going to be yet but he was even a tough guy with the game warden he said he’s lived around here his whole life like that gives them permission to trespass on my property.
You contact Game and Fish and you're local sheriffs office, turn in tags and footage. If you don't someone else may take matters in their own hands. Turn them in ASAP, do NOT let people get away with trespassing/hunting on your property.
The video you have is more than enough for my local Game wardens to take care of it. Had to do it again this season already and it was taken care of. I’m in Texas.
On the Creek Property Trespassers: Whenever you finish checking things over, it would likely be a good idea to report all that you have found. It possibly shows a pattern of trespassing/poaching/stealing of these people on private property. In any case, even if they can't do anything about it now, it's a good idea IMHO to report it, getting it all on record.
I had the same problem in SC I set tire puncture traps in the dirt driveway they were automatically used by a sensor worked great ; when there not in use you just cut off the sensor. They stay hidden in the dirt . Amazing job.
I don't blame you for being mad. My dad and brothers would ask before they hunted on land. Usually they were given permission because the owner appreciated their honesty in asking first. One guy let my brother hunt for years after. My brother would share the meat with the owner in appreciation.
Hi Dutch and Family. Glad you finally got the trespassers. Hope you press charges. I can't stand trespassers. Good luck hunting. Hopefully you get a big buck. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Hey Dutch, don't take it for granted that they are competent hunters. In the 70ts,I was hunting with my friend, on fairly open ground. Both of us were wearing dazzle orange vests.We sat on a log,to skin a couple of rabbits. I heard a shot from a high powered pew pew, not allowed in the area, turned to my buddy, to see him slump forward, and fall. My friend had been shot in the back, dead centre. UNALIVED. Found out half hour later, it was from 40 feet away. Careless hunter, failed to identify his target. He spent 6 months in jail, and lost his gun licence. WOW HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER. IT broke me in more ways than I ever thought. PLEASE LET THE LAW KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. YOU HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON YOUR PROPERTY. NEVER TRUST ANYONE, ESPECIALLY WITH FIREARMS. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. ❤❤
@waynehenderson7681 I'm so sorry 💔 what a traumatic and senseless way for your friend to be unalived. And *SIX MONTHS* is absolutely disgusting for their actions. Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
Very sorry about your friend, What i find insane is the 40 foot, Someones got to be near on blind!!!!! 40feet???? He was essentially right on top of him, WTH!!?? Ima lose sleep overthinking this!!!
@@saxbychaplin1112 Thanks for your thoughts, my friend was wearing a dazzle jacket. The shooter said he shot at the movement he saw in the bushes, claimed he was colour blind. How he got his licence, astounds me.He was 45 years old. Claimed he was an experienced hunter, and he had never done anything like that before. I fricking hope not. Cheers mate.
Dutch after you check for what may be missing, I think you should contact both DRN and Sheriff, so you have a record for future incidents, and they know to be on the lookout for possible poachers and thieves.
Dutch - you already know what you should do. If nothing else, but for the safety of your girls & you or your Father n law. You know if you don't report them - they'll be back 😱 Have a great weekend 😊 Love 🌻 from Apex NC 💜
You need to call both the game wardon and the police if you don't, they will keep trespassing, and if one of them got hurt, they'll be able to go after you. Also, in some states, they could lose the rights to hunt or fish.
Since the sheriff has the license plate number they should at least get that information to you so you can take it further. I hope you can get them prosecuted. I agree with you they have no regard for your private property.
I would waste no time reporting and prosecuting those Trespassing Dirty Sons Of Biscuit Eaters. Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless You & Your Family.
The comments are right on. If they aren't stopped, they will get bolder. You are right in stating that these people don't respect other people's property. That chacteristic of caring and respecting other people's property is sorely missing in today's society.😢😢😢
Dutch. Turn the camera footage in to the Sheriff's Office. Remember, All your doing is protecting your self and family. You could also install a remote control gate.
I would definitely get the law involved and I would try to get some kind of gates put up. I sure hope things get better for y'all I hate trespassers !!!!!! Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
i agree, he may not be able to fence the property because of its size but he can definitely gate the access routes including the driveway. plus add extra hidden cameras to record them if they still come on the property.
You need to install several rows of spikes into the road. About 5 feet apart, some 20 feet in all. That would be 4 rows of spikes, permanently installed.
Definitely get authorities involved. 1) You have your kids that go about your property. 2) It keeps YOU safe from any frivolous lawsuits 3) They will be on authority radar so they will think twice about trespassing, poaching and stealing from anyone else 4) They don't care they are STEALING from you AND could potentially hurt you or someone in your family. 5) Every call you put in is another mark on their "chances" list.
Yes, report them. I was going to suggest putting in gates and was happy to hear you mention it. Sooner rather than later. Who knows what they might decide to take now that they have seen what you have there.
Hi Dutch family. I pray that you have a wonderful safe Christmas ⛄ and a Happy New Year. It's so awesome to see that you are doing whatever you can to protect yourself and your family from bad people.
Sean, you need to report these people. Someone needs to let them know they can't get away with breaking the law. I hope they get fined. I am so sorry that Someone stole your camera. LOVE FROM IOWA! 😊❤❤❤
Contact wildlife person in area and report to law enforcement. Provide them the pictures you have and show signage that is up. They should be charged with trespassing at least
I would call the sheriff and I would also call the county attorney/prosecutor as well having an attorney pursue this through the appropriate channels or courts. If you don’t want it to continue then you need to react to it now. If you don’t, the signs mean nothing. Just on the trespassing of course.
I agree with what a lot of the people say. Protect yourself and your family report it. If you don’t it will be unsafe to take your family and friends there. Take care and stay safe. God bless
Just a question but was the second truck's bed covered? If so it would have been very easy to smuggle out deer. The game warden will probably even know who these people are.
I would turn the video over to the Sheriff. They can always issue a citation for trespassing (hopefully with a hefty fine). That way they know they are being watched.
Install a cheap gate and a couple camera's at the gate. Now if they open and go through the gate with all your no trespass signs, they have committed a felony and wont have to worry about hunting for a few years
I would put a gate up to block vehicle access and put up cell phone camera with live feed to catch. I would also report t so at least they are notified by the sheriff about trespassing.
Brandon Eddy lives on tribal land. It’s not Cherokee but I think he still would know how tribal laws work. Plus he’s currently dealing with trespassers himself.
Get you a spike strip to lay across the driveway. You have to confront them somehow. I know it was a different country back then, but my dad used to grab his rifle and drive down into the field to confront trespassers on our farm. He never had to do it more than once.
I would 100% report them and press charges! You don't know what they are up to and they could be very dangerous to you and your family as well as your property. I would be furious if this was me!
I recommend taking a short extension ladder with you to put your cameras up higher and out of reach. Less likely to get stolen. Thats what I do. Haven't had any more of my cameras stolen since.
You did the right thing by clearly posting no trespassing signs. I suggest you pick a spot on your road well inside your property line and setup a homemade spike strip. If you anchor the spike strip securely so it can't move, it should puncture both front and rear tires. Camoflage it and they probably won't be aware when they drive over it. If you get lucky, any trespassing vehicle will still be there when the sheriff arrives. This worked for me once, except for the part about calling the sheriff. The victim knew I did it, yet I never saw him or his pals again.
I could hear their footsteps through the camera as they traveled down the road which means they could’ve heard you speaking out of your camera maybe. I think you should’ve yelled “turn your hind end around and get back to where you came from, this is private property.”😂 Would have scared them 😂. Yes, definitely bother the game warden and the sheriff with this definitely definitely because they can track them down to the license plate and tell them don’t do it again.
I don’t think anyone would hear someone saying something on that camera but the thing is that was after the fact. He was watching the trespassers on video so that means they had already been there and left.
@ well, we have cameras at our cabin in Minnesota and when we let our nephews stay at the cabin, we can hear and watch them from Az outside the cabin and coming in and they can hear us talking back to them. I just thought his cameras might be the same. of course, you have to be watching it live you can’t do it after the fact when they’re not there duh
They could be doing this on other properties too. You need to report it to the Sheriff and the game warden. They will either take action or not, but that's not on you. If they see a pattern of reports they'll be more likely to prosecute and you will never know if you were first! It's so dangerous. Texas Deb ❤️
I would call the game Warren for trespassing and I would call your local cops too for trespassing they don't have no rights to be on your property you have them posted
Hi Sean that’s a shame people are hunting and stealing on your property, not nice. I am glad you have it caught on camera so you can now , hopefully get this problem resolved pretty nervy on their part. I guess the best thing you can do is get the police involved. I hope the best for you Sean. 👍👍❤️❤️🌲🌲🇨🇦
Regardless whether they stole anything, they trespassed and disregarded your warning signs. The police/sheriff need to get in touch with them and give them a personal warning to stay off your property. If they come back again, the police will be able to arrest or cite them to help try to deter them from coming back.
Towns near me all have Facebook pages where people post thieves, problem people, when property gets stolen, etc. Someone knows the bad guys and they get IDed that way.
Hi Dutch, I would get rid of that rooster LOL, Darell is finally building his cabin. I can not stand trespassers, as you said they do not respect for others property. God bless you I have sent an email.
My local hunting club (re rich guys with a pheasant hunting area) put up a chain gate, thieves stole it, then they put up a metal gate, thieves stole that too. They put up monitored surveillance cameras that broadcast their driveway to their head office, caught the buggers.
If you have it posted that you will prosecute, then do it!!PROSECUTE! PROSECUTE! PROSECUTE! I know its wrong and illegal so they at least need to be reported! It IS expensive to do what you do to enhance your familys experience not just monitarily but with your time as well. Im GLAD you plan to gate the property, I just think something needs to be done! 😡😡😠😠🤬🤬🤬🤬
Dutch I have had this problem on my property a couple of times I have warned the guys I have come in contact with and I ended up calling the sheriffs department and I press charges against them because all my property is posted as well so my word to you would be call the sheriffs department you have video footage of them on your property where it is posted no trespassing….Good Luck 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼
Take your pictures & videos to your local police dept. & say "I would like to prosecute illegal trespassers on my property & that You have video & picture proof with the truck & license plate date & time.". Then give them your info. Also you should contact a laywer. These guys need to be taught a harsh lesson for trespassing. You would also be doing a kind favor to all of your neighbors as well, keeping them safe from these guys! Send them to court!
If you don't do anything about it nothing will ever change. Report them and keep following up with it. If you don't react it doesn't pay to keep telling us about it. Get the authorities on it and stay on it.

That’s crazy because I have a guy that keeps going into the woods where I have permission to hunt no one else is allowed to go there he doesn’t carry a gun that I can see but he’s always messing around my food supplies for my deer like like salt blocks my corn piles I’ve even seen him with his cell phone taking pictures of my corn pile so I did the exact same thing I posted his picture on Facebook everybody knew who this guy was and he was doing the same thing everywhere around the whole area trespassing on peoples property without permission even though he wasn’t hunting he thought he was a tough guy this guy actually told me he didn’t give a damn what I had to say well let’s just say the game warden did not agree when he called him. He was arrested and charge for trespassing. He’s waiting to go to court we don’t know what his fines are going to be yet but he was even a tough guy with the game warden he said he’s lived around here his whole life like that gives them permission to trespass on my property.
POLICE! And make a HUGE sign saying that you have them on camera. Right by that road they were driving on.
You contact Game and Fish and you're local sheriffs office, turn in tags and footage. If you don't someone else may take matters in their own hands. Turn them in ASAP, do NOT let people get away with trespassing/hunting on your property.
The video you have is more than enough for my local Game wardens to take care of it. Had to do it again this season already and it was taken care of. I’m in Texas.
On the Creek Property Trespassers: Whenever you finish checking things over, it would likely be a good idea to report all that you have found. It possibly shows a pattern of trespassing/poaching/stealing of these people on private property. In any case, even if they can't do anything about it now, it's a good idea IMHO to report it, getting it all on record.
You’re right it’s dangerous on your own property be careful and good luck.
Report it! That's what law enforcement is for!
Sean I hope you reported them! It’s worth using the resources provided to us exactly for this reason.
I've got 47 years in law enforcement, report it and cover yourself. You may not be the only victim.
Wise advice.
Trespassing at this level is not only disturbing, but unacceptable. Do not listen to those who would suggest boobie traps.
Driving up into the property where you were drilling,- was really beautiful. Nice spot.
I had the same problem in SC I set tire puncture traps in the dirt driveway they were automatically used by a sensor worked great ; when there not in use you just cut off the sensor. They stay hidden in the dirt . Amazing job.

Please post a how to video!!
Sweet
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻Great job‼️👏🏻‼️👏🏻‼️👏🏻‼️👏🏻
Put a warning on the gate if they're well hidden on the road. (A CYA move).
Take them to court for trespassing on private property. You have signs up and that's all the proof you need to press charges on these bozos
CALL THE LAW!!
🙋🏻♀️❤️🇺🇸
😂
Report them. Avoid liability if someone gets hurt, even if they are there illegally!
If I’m not mistaken Game Wardens have more authority than local police. So, I would start with the GW. Good luck.
I don't blame you for being mad. My dad and brothers would ask before they hunted on land. Usually they were given permission because the owner appreciated their honesty in asking first. One guy let my brother hunt for years after. My brother would share the meat with the owner in appreciation.
Hi Dutch and Family. Glad you finally got the trespassers. Hope you press charges. I can't stand trespassers. Good luck hunting. Hopefully you get a big buck. God bless and love yall ❤❤
Definitely report it. What if a trespassers gets killed on your property? Liability? You should report it .
1:20 in, sees rooster chasing duck in tge background.
Cell phone camera or two on the driveway would help. Talking with the wildlife agent in your area wouldn't hurt either. Good luck with it.
Hey Dutch, don't take it for granted that they are competent hunters. In the 70ts,I was hunting with my friend, on fairly open ground. Both of us were wearing dazzle orange vests.We sat on a log,to skin a couple of rabbits. I heard a shot from a high powered pew pew, not allowed in the area, turned to my buddy, to see him slump forward, and fall. My friend had been shot in the back, dead centre. UNALIVED. Found out half hour later, it was from 40 feet away. Careless hunter, failed to identify his target. He spent 6 months in jail, and lost his gun licence. WOW HE GOT AWAY WITH MURDER. IT broke me in more ways than I ever thought. PLEASE LET THE LAW KNOW WHAT IS HAPPENING. YOU HAVE FAMILY AND FRIENDS ON YOUR PROPERTY. NEVER TRUST ANYONE, ESPECIALLY WITH FIREARMS. STAY SAFE OUT THERE. ❤❤
@waynehenderson7681 I'm so sorry 💔 what a traumatic and senseless way for your friend to be unalived. And *SIX MONTHS* is absolutely disgusting for their actions.
Again, I'm sorry for your loss.
Sorry for your loss I pray that he knew Jesus Christ 🙏
I'm so sorry for your loss. Praying comfort and peace. 🙏
Very sorry about your friend, What i find insane is the 40 foot, Someones got to be near on blind!!!!! 40feet???? He was essentially right on top of him, WTH!!?? Ima lose sleep overthinking this!!!
@@saxbychaplin1112 Thanks for your thoughts, my friend was wearing a dazzle jacket. The shooter said he shot at the movement he saw in the bushes, claimed he was colour blind. How he got his licence, astounds me.He was 45 years old. Claimed he was an experienced hunter, and he had never done anything like that before. I fricking hope not. Cheers mate.
Dutch after you check for what may be missing, I think you should contact both DRN and Sheriff, so you have a record for future incidents, and they know to be on the lookout for possible poachers and thieves.
My dad was a game warden for years. And this is the kind of thing he dealt with all the time. ❤
Meagan whitewash around your trees around the property where there's no fence and put a purple stripe inside the White painted area on the trees
Dutch - you already know what you should do. If nothing else, but for the safety of your girls & you or your Father n law.
You know if you don't report them - they'll be back 😱
Have a great weekend 😊
Love 🌻 from Apex NC 💜
You need to call both the game wardon and the police if you don't, they will keep trespassing, and if one of them got hurt, they'll be able to go after you. Also, in some states, they could lose the rights to hunt or fish.
Past time to involve the LAW. You need to protect yourself from the unknown on your property. Blessings 🙏🫶❤️🫶🙏. Please take action now.
Since the sheriff has the license plate number they should at least get that information to you so you can take it further. I hope you can get them prosecuted. I agree with you they have no regard for your private property.
I would waste no time reporting and prosecuting those Trespassing Dirty Sons Of Biscuit Eaters.
Merry Christmas, Happy New Year and God Bless You & Your Family.
The comments are right on. If they aren't stopped, they will get bolder. You are right in stating that these people don't respect other people's property. That chacteristic of caring and respecting other people's property is sorely missing in today's society.😢😢😢
Trespassing with a weapon is a serious offense. Call your sherrif.
Dutch. Turn the camera footage in to the Sheriff's Office. Remember, All your doing is protecting your self and family. You could also install a remote control gate.
Eight Grand but worth it
I would definitely get the law involved and I would try to get some kind of gates put up.
I sure hope things get better for y'all I hate trespassers !!!!!!
Thanks again for another awesome video I really enjoyed it and as always I'm really looking forward to seeing the next video
i agree, he may not be able to fence the property because of its size but he can definitely gate the access routes including the driveway. plus add extra hidden cameras to record them if they still come on the property.
You need to install several rows of spikes into the road. About 5 feet apart, some 20 feet in all.
That would be 4 rows of spikes, permanently installed.
Definitely get authorities involved.
1) You have your kids that go about your property.
2) It keeps YOU safe from any frivolous lawsuits
3) They will be on authority radar so they will think twice about trespassing, poaching and stealing from anyone else
4) They don't care they are STEALING from you AND could potentially hurt you or someone in your family.
5) Every call you put in is another mark on their "chances" list.
Trespassers p me off. They are thieves. Take action. What ever it takes. Thanks for sharing. 🌻👍🌻
Yes, report them. I was going to suggest putting in gates and was happy to hear you mention it. Sooner rather than later. Who knows what they might decide to take now that they have seen what you have there.
Dutch love and enjoy your video. May the lord bless and protect you working with your equipment and getting the trespassers.
Hi Dutch family. I pray that you have a wonderful safe Christmas ⛄ and a Happy New Year. It's so awesome to see that you are doing whatever you can to protect yourself and your family from bad people.
Sean, you need to report these people. Someone needs to let them know they can't get away with breaking the law. I hope they get fined. I am so sorry that Someone stole your camera. LOVE FROM IOWA! 😊❤❤❤
Contact wildlife person in area and report to law enforcement. Provide them the pictures you have and show signage that is up. They should be charged with trespassing at least
You should definitely report them!
I would call the sheriff and I would also call the county attorney/prosecutor as well having an attorney pursue this through the appropriate channels or courts. If you don’t want it to continue then you need to react to it now. If you don’t, the signs mean nothing. Just on the trespassing of course.
I haven't watched many of your videos, but why haven't you put up a gate? With a gate, they at least can't drive onto your ptoperty.
What a beautiful site to build!!
Hopefully you can get justice on those people soon
I don't blame you for being upset on this.
I hope you called the Sheriff. I'd have them prosecuted.
I agree with what a lot of the people say. Protect yourself and your family report it. If you don’t it will be unsafe to take your family and friends there. Take care and stay safe. God bless
Just a question but was the second truck's bed covered? If so it would have been very easy to smuggle out deer. The game warden will probably even know who these people are.
I would turn the video over to the Sheriff. They can always issue a citation for trespassing (hopefully with a hefty fine). That way they know they are being watched.
Install a cheap gate and a couple camera's at the gate. Now if they open and go through the gate with all your no trespass signs, they have committed a felony and wont have to worry about hunting for a few years
Is that for all states??
I would put a gate up to block vehicle access and put up cell phone camera with live feed to catch. I would also report t so at least they are notified by the sheriff about trespassing.
You could get in touch with Daniel Arms and see what he says since he was a state trooper.
Or Brandon Eddy
Brandon Eddy lives on tribal land. It’s not Cherokee but I think he still would know how tribal laws work. Plus he’s currently dealing with trespassers himself.
Auger is a good piece of equipment. They kind of scare me. I hate thieves. I hope you can stop them.
I love that view from the hill. 😯
God bless you Dutch
So sorry about the trespassers….very disturbing for sure‼️
Get you a spike strip to lay across the driveway. You have to confront them somehow. I know it was a different country back then, but my dad used to grab his rifle and drive down into the field to confront trespassers on our farm. He never had to do it more than once.
I would 100% report them and press charges! You don't know what they are up to and they could be very dangerous to you and your family as well as your property. I would be furious if this was me!
Hey bro im a new subscriber. Love the channel. Im tappin in from San Diego, Ca. 😎✌
I recommend taking a short extension ladder with you to put your cameras up higher and out of reach. Less likely to get stolen. Thats what I do. Haven't had any more of my cameras stolen since.
Why no orange vest.
In Texas it would be Criminal Tresspass, because they are armed
And I belive if they take an animal would also get hit with hunting without landowner consent which is a biggie
yes
I would keep an eye out for that camera there is a chance they just relocated it and are using it themselves to see you. Good luck from Oregon
Can you put a gate across the entrance to stop vehicles at least from coming in?
You did the right thing by clearly posting no trespassing signs. I suggest you pick a spot on your road well inside your property line and setup a homemade spike strip. If you anchor the spike strip securely so it can't move, it should puncture both front and rear tires. Camoflage it and they probably won't be aware when they drive over it. If you get lucky, any trespassing vehicle will still be there when the sheriff arrives. This worked for me once, except for the part about calling the sheriff. The victim knew I did it, yet I never saw him or his pals again.
I could hear their footsteps through the camera as they traveled down the road which means they could’ve heard you speaking out of your camera maybe. I think you should’ve yelled “turn your hind end around and get back to where you came from, this is private property.”😂 Would have scared them 😂. Yes, definitely bother the game warden and the sheriff with this definitely definitely because they can track them down to the license plate and tell them don’t do it again.
I don’t think anyone would hear someone saying something on that camera but the thing is that was after the fact. He was watching the trespassers on video so that means they had already been there and left.
@ well, we have cameras at our cabin in Minnesota and when we let our nephews stay at the cabin, we can hear and watch them from Az outside the cabin and coming in and they can hear us talking back to them. I just thought his cameras might be the same. of course, you have to be watching it live you can’t do it after the fact when they’re not there duh
They could be doing this on other properties too. You need to report it to the Sheriff and the game warden. They will either take action or not, but that's not on you. If they see a pattern of reports they'll be more likely to prosecute and you will never know if you were first! It's so dangerous. Texas Deb ❤️
I would call the game Warren for trespassing and I would call your local cops too for trespassing they don't have no rights to be on your property you have them posted
Can you put up gates to stop them getting in
lock them up brother/god bless be safe,merry christmas.
They doing a drive, yes contact the game warden , they will handle it, they need to know about it and it won't cost you nothing
That is so very Brazen!!!
Take out papers buddy. If you have proof. Don't keep talking get to walking. Good luck. Dangerous situation!!!!
Hi Sean that’s a shame people are hunting and stealing on your property, not nice. I am glad you have it caught on camera so you can now , hopefully get this problem resolved pretty nervy on their part. I guess the best thing you can do is get the police involved. I hope the best for you Sean. 👍👍❤️❤️🌲🌲🇨🇦
Trespassing is a serious thing and can escalate if left unchecked.
Game Wardens get paid to do exactly this. Those trespassers need to get their license suspended for some time to learn.
Regardless whether they stole anything, they trespassed and disregarded your warning signs. The police/sheriff need to get in touch with them and give them a personal warning to stay off your property. If they come back again, the police will be able to arrest or cite them to help try to deter them from coming back.
Publish the pictures in the local newspaper and post them on any available public bulletin boards.
Towns near me all have Facebook pages where people post thieves, problem people, when property gets stolen, etc. Someone knows the bad guys and they get IDed that way.
Your signs says "no trespassing, that you will prosecute " then prosecute.
Hi Dutch, I would get rid of that rooster LOL, Darell is finally building his cabin. I can not stand trespassers, as you said they do not respect for others property. God bless you I have sent an email.
A gate is a necessity. A cease and desist letter needs to be sent to trespassers.
My local hunting club (re rich guys with a pheasant hunting area) put up a chain gate, thieves stole it, then they put up a metal gate, thieves stole that too. They put up monitored surveillance cameras that broadcast their driveway to their head office, caught the buggers.
If you have it posted that you will prosecute, then do it!!PROSECUTE! PROSECUTE! PROSECUTE!
I know its wrong and illegal so they at least need to be reported! It IS expensive to do what you do to enhance your familys experience not just monitarily but with your time as well. Im GLAD you plan to gate the property, I just think something needs to be done! 😡😡😠😠🤬🤬🤬🤬
Word of mouth spreads. If you don’t prosecute, word will spread.
If you do prosecute one time, that will spread like wildfire. Been there, done that.
Dutch I have had this problem on my property a couple of times I have warned the guys I have come in contact with and I ended up calling the sheriffs department and I press charges against them because all my property is posted as well so my word to you would be call the sheriffs department you have video footage of them on your property where it is posted no trespassing….Good Luck 🇺🇸👊🏼👊🏼✌🏼
Follow up with Sheriff and game warden! Also, get yourself a radio and monitor the channels.
Did you see him holding a two way radio?
Take your pictures & videos to your local police dept. & say "I would like to prosecute illegal trespassers on my property & that You have video & picture proof with the truck & license plate date & time.". Then give them your info. Also you should contact a laywer. These guys need to be taught a harsh lesson for trespassing. You would also be doing a kind favor to all of your neighbors as well, keeping them safe from these guys! Send them to court!
