ATTENTION: Trespassing hunters

| June 1, 2018 1:00 AM

You are disgusting and a discredit to the ethical hunter. You are the only reason we are saying NO to access or hunting on our private lands. We are going on five years with three of our neighbors who have no respect for their fellow neighbors’ private lands. Bear season is in progress in our neighborhood. You took down signs and trespassed to shoot a female bear with a spring cub. We are in a section of Unit One where there is No Bait/No Dogs — SAY WHAT?

You trespass and lurk on the hillside of a private landowner to shoot the bear crossing the road in the darkness of A.M. with your spotlight, load it and scurry home. You actually cut down trees on private land to make a through-access with your ATV to gain access to your buddy’s land, then you both trap, snare and hunt on the private land.

You think no one hears or sees you? All previous actions to stop these unethical hunters have not worked. The massive annihilation of both predator/prey species in five years is outrageous. No cougar, bear or wolf would or could do the damage we have witnessed by these three men. Unethical trespassing hunters are giving ethical hunters a bad rap. You scrawny, sneaky, stinkin’ bums need to keep off my private land.
