This is how my Saturday morning of hunting started. I was in my pop up around 5:45 Saturday morning. Plenty of time to relax and catch a cat nap. Well, around 6:30 I hear my pop up slowly starting to unzip!! I jump up grab my pistol and flashlight, as I turn around someone's head is already in my blind. I turn on my light stick my 10MM in his face and invite him in to chat. Need less to say he turned inside out getting out of there. I heard when he ran into the barbed wire fence then silence. I figured my hunt was finished so I got out of my stand and found that this sorry jack wagon left me a gift. A new Mathews Z7 Xtreme totally tricked out 6 carbon express arrows tipped with grim reapers. Plus a backpack with ranger finder, 3 knives and sharpener, and the best part.... His hunting license!!! Seriously I was LMAO!!
Now I figure that cost him a little cash and I figure he'll back.. So I picked up my pop up, and my game cameras lord knows what he'd do to them when he finds out I kept his belongings. Before I kissed my feeder goodbye I taped a letter explaining I had his things and I'd be more than happy to return them, all he had to do was call me.. I'd arrange a place to meet just he, I, and the game warden or sheriff. I went on to say I knew who he was and if my feeder was damaged I'd be knocking on his door.. To make sure he believed me I left one of his tags in the zip lock bag.
That's the first time something like this has happened to me.. Let me tell you it was one heck of a wake up call.. I'll keep you updated on if I hear from this DB!

That's probably the best thing to do in that situation. Make it suck to be that guy.

Holy cow!!!!!!! What a d-bag. That will wake you up for sure. That was one expensive trespass event for him, not to mention the barbed wire encounter.
BTW. Im in need of a range finder. What county is it?

That is awesome. However, I wouldn't return his stuff if I was you. What is he gonna do...call the police and say he was trespassing and dropped his stuff? LOL! I'm sure his gear cost much more than any trespassing ticket will cost...I doubt you'll ever hear from him.
Is this a private lease or your own land? Surely there is more to the story if he thought no one would be there....

Local guy? I hate poachers. Of course he's out about $600+ in gear at this point. Serves him right.

Hardly any deer, but a ton of hogs.. At one time I thought someone else had been in my blind, things were left differnt. But I have camera's every where, and never caught him. I'll keep you in the loop if I hear from him.

Yes! Sorry about your hunt but it's GREAT to hear a story that goes against the poacher or thief. Definitely keep us up to date.

I was thinking that was going to happen to me this morning after hearing people talk till 630 last night about 200 yards from my pop up... Needless to say there was a pistol with me this morning
Isn't it funny how day by day nothing changes but when you look back everything is different.
Nowadays people know the price of everything and the value of nothing.

I'd go ahead and let the GW know. No sense in handling this on your own, man. That's what they are paid to do.

Awesome, I agree that you should post his info. Heck, I would scan his license and post it for anybody to use as they see fit!

I would send him a Christmas card posing with the biggest thing you kill this season....and HIS BOW! regardless of if it was rifle or bow killed.
Then another of you gutting it with his knife; if you really wanted to mess with his head get his address from the tags and see if you can get one of the local sheriffs dept to pose at the local street corner pointing at his house with the range finger....
58yds to your front door....Man this thing is accurate!

Sounds like the early bird caught the worm.
Just to make sure that it is done thoroughly, I go both ways.

At the very least it looks like he's done hunting this year. Make sure you contact the GW ASAP so he can flag him so he can't go get a replacement liscense. Hopefully he runs him in.... Stuff... what stuff...
