They only catch them for the most part when they come back for the deer
We had the same trouble on my uncles place in Mississippi. He rode with us to the GJ headquarters and gave them written permission to stake it out. A few weeks went by and we'd forgotten about it. We were pulling in to the bean field for an evening hunt and the decoy fooled us for a few minutes. They caught the guy the first night they set up plus he was drunk so he had a DUI added to everything.

A guy was bragging to me recently about how one of his coworkers was out and about and got a trail cam notification of a 12 point he had been after.
Drove home, got his AR with thermal and shot it at night. Dude sitting there taking pics with it like he did something. Irritated me just hearing the story.

I mean one is breaking multiple laws on someone else’s property and one is completely legal. Comparing the two because you don’t think bait is sporty is a little silly.
The antis will have it easy man, theyll just create a few bills about corn piles, bow fishing, trail cameras, and running dogs. We will all be on both sides of the aisle eating each other.

They probably won’t be back for a while, but leave em a surprise when they do.
Take an old deer decoy and hollow out the chest. Put some tannerite in it. When that thing explodes I doubt they will be coming back.

I’d say there’s a pretty big difference, however I don’t consider either one really hunting. Corn pile hunting is just waiting and hoping one gets hungry. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for people hunting the way they want as long as it’s within the law. It’s just not my thing.

One is a felony. Nowhere near the same scenario.

We have another big field that is off a main road. It’s very secluded once you pull in. I’m hoping GJ will set up there and the “farmer” accidentally leaves the gate open. Probably for nought, but one can dream. Hopefully I can update this down the line with an arrest report. Very doubtful.
Sitting by the fire now hotter than it is.

It may be what YOU do, but it’s not what I do. Around the first of November I head to Missouri and hunt the rut until mid Nov. Then around thanksgiving I head to north la to hunt the pre rut through the rut and continue moving south, following the rut until Feb 15th.
I’m not successful on public land from sitting around, hoping a deer gets hungry lol

We had an a-hole on this very board brag about killing a deer that swam by his boat while crossing a river; he was rightfully castigated.

If you know where he is accessing the field with his truck I'd set up a cellular trail camera in such a way that it would capture his license plate.

If it’s at night the reflection of the license plate along with the flash of the camera (even though most are infrared flashes now), and the lights on the bumper for the plate, render a license plate unreadable.

We get them coming on our land on the Tombigbee. Guys will come up the creek then claim they are fishing when we see them. Fishing in full turkey gear with shotguns

It is much better because it is legal to do in much of if not most of the south on private land. Maybe not sporting, but certainly more sporting than spotlighting, Night hunting of game animals is illegal in every state in the US

Ah, I see, trying to justify your illegal behavior. Got it.

Careful buddy, being able to actually own land and wanting to protect it is oddly frowned upon by a few on this board.
And I'm pretty sure the same people on here who always throw a fit about it would freak out if I drove across their little quarter acre lot in the subdivision

“We had an a-hole on this very board brag about killing a deer that swam by his boat while crossing a river; he was rightfully castigated”
I didn’t shoot it but one morning right at daybreak my son and I were fishing on a river under some steep cliffs. We heard a terrible noise and huge splash as a deer either fell or jumped down the cliff into the river.
That thing has a terrified look in its eyes as it swam right past our boat to the other side.
It was about a 20 foot drop, and the water was 25 feet deep. We spent the rest of the trip discussing if the deer jumped intentionally, slipped and fell, or was being chased by something.
I don’t know who was more frightened when it hit the water the deer or us.
It was in early April if that matters and the deer was female. So we didn’t think it had anything to do with mating. But I’m not a Hunter so I don’t know.
