This!
I do not suggest, by any means to shoot someone. Although; its my land. Your TREASPASSING,. On my Property, with a firearm.
I catch you. You will be held. Until the GameWarden, County Sheriffs Take you to Jail.


Criminal Trespass while carrying a deadly weapon is a Class A misdemeanor. Not something you want to mess around with. Don't detain him. Take a picture of him on your land, follow and take a picture of his license plate. THEN call the sheriff. If he wants to escalate, be ready. The second he points that weapon, it's on. YMMV

If he was committing a felony (like burglary) then you could theoretically detain him.

Criminal Trespass Statute 30.05

Texas Penal Code 20: Kidnapping (20.03) and Unlawful Restraint (20.02)

(learned this stuff in CHL class, useful to know)

Pics of the vehicle and plate to the warden will help.

^this. If I felt in no immediate danger, I would call the GW or LEO.

If they happen to get a hole in their radiator then you have a trail for the sheriff to follow.

Don't be stupid. This hardly ever happens. Play it smart. You'll be better off and you and yours will be alive.

You'd be surprised sometimes.

Would be interesting to follow the court case relating to some of the suggestions in this thread.

My experience with poachers and game warden was sad at best. Called game thief and they asked for their names. Who on earth knows the poachers name? Its ridiculous. She said they couldn't do anything. As for shooting at someone, my leo friend said shoot to kil, never fire a warning or injury shot(leg,arm, etc...) plus if the poacher just never retrned home who is to say he would ever be found? They still sell shovels last time I checked lol


Just doing it for fun now.
