Dang it I believe I'd have to explain a dead body. When I heard the zipper I'd a started shootin

wow

I'm not sure what my trigger finger would have done when I saw a head sticking in. All instinct at that point. Scary stuff!

I looked it up, by TX law, both the carrying a dangerous weapon while trespassing and entering an occupied structure would be Class A Misdemeanors for Criminal Trespass. You would need, intent to steal, to upgrade to burglary and a felony charge.

i think you shoulda at least shot a couple rounds out the window into the air or sumn.... itd b music to your ears hearing that much music out of a barbed wire guitar

Haha great story glad your alright serves him right nothin like a good birthday present.

Yes, call the GW ASAP. You have his license. When you turn that in to the GW, they have his address. If you just keep his stuff, and wait for him to contact you it might turn out bad. If he grows another pair of balls (he probably left his on the trail out of there), he may come looking for his stuff when you are there, and he may be better prepared for a confrontation.

Do you pay to lease the property, or do you simply have the OK to hunt? Either way, it might be a good idea to check with your landowner to see if anyone else has permission to hunt this property.

Sounds like the guy is a tresspasser, but you never know.....

actually a good point. otherwise, i think to keep you safe i would call the gw. it is amazing what criminals get away with nowadays.

Congrats, on the new Toys!

I am glad you are alright. I'm afreid I would have shot him.i would turn in his lic and back pack to the GW. I would not want to deal with this nut any more.

How much you want for that bow?

Look I won't ever hunt your stand again, please can I have my bow back?

That DB is lucky to be alive.
I'll be watching for an update.

Sounds like you have a case of abandonment. He clearly left all that fine hunting equipment for your troubles and the disruption of your mornings hunt.

Wow, glad I wasnt in this situation. I tend to be rather grumpy and slow witted after a nap. Not sure what I would do with the gear, but I would definitely call the GW.

Wow. Glad your okay. I don't believe you will ever see or hear from him again. Congrat's on the new bow.

Wow, just Wow, glad it worked out in your favor!

If he was trespassing, I'd keep the gear in a heartbeat.

I'd definitely turn his license in to GW.

And, I'd definitely talk to the land owner, just to make sure he had not allowed anyone else to hunt out there.

bet he is still running like forest gump!

atleast take a video of you dry firing the bow to show us what it does..lol jk

Dang this is crazy, so what happened?

Call the GW/Sheriff first thing this morning. Every second you hesitate is to the criminal's benefit. BTW what are the odds he is a member of THF and reading this forum? THF does have over 40 thousand members.

TURN HIM IN!

Check with the owner first, wouldnt surprise me at all to find out someone else got the ok to hunt out there. If thats the case all you "shoulda shot him fellas" would be singing a different tune.

Wow!! I bet yall both had to change your pants.
