I have some land in SE Oklahoma that some people seem to think they have rights to hunt on and trespass. Does anyone recognize these guys? They have been trespassing on my land in Hugo, Oklahoma for over a month. They have seen the cameras and still keep continuing to come back as I've caught them on other cameras on different days after this. Date is 6 days slow in the cam. Any help would be great. I might offer a cash reward for anyone that can tell me who these people are. I found 5 9mm casings in front of one of the cameras when they were there on last Friday. The game warden has all of the pictures and has been notified, I just need to find these guys before they shoot off an AR-15 and my kids are running around in the brush.

They don't look very bright to me. Hope you catch them all. Not right trepassing on someones land. It's happend at the ranch I hunt before a couple times.

Yeah, for sure....and I don't understand why they didn't take my cameras or the SD cards as they knew they were being pictured.

Looks like time to turn pics over to local law enforcement and file a complaint.

Game Warden has them but I can't file a complaint until they have been identified.

What poachers are bright, need to give the pics to game warden and SO and ask around in the area.

The times it happend to me. The first time I got pics of them and contacted GW. Second time they took SD cards and I'm guessing a third time happend when my cameras were just broken up.

they almost act like they want you to know they are there since they are hanging around your cam atleast you have pretty good pictures of them so you can hopfully catch them

Print out some of those pics and make some "WANTED" signs and put them up at all the gas stations.

Offer a small reward for names and addresses.

Now that will get you some info in a hurry, good idea!

That is going to be next on my to do list for sure. It is a pretty small area/community for the most part, someone should know them, it is just a matter of wheather or not they will cough up the names. Minimum I guess they could warn the people I am after them.

You might check at OU or OK State. They look like dumb Okies to me.

To the OP, that just sucks. Hope you catch them

Man that would drive me nuts. Above idea on the wanted signs is a great idea. I might even go the extra mile and rent out a billboard for a month or so just to humiliate them. Also homemade and very painful booby traps keep coming to mind. If it was me I would inject a non deadly but very potent poison thru a syringe to a popular bottle of liquors plastic cap but leave unopened. Rub a small amount of epoxy glue to fill needle hole an place the bottle in the areas you know they frequent. Also you can buy tracking devices and put them in something you know they'll take. Easy fix

Thats just it....they have had opportunity to take two cameras so far and they haven't touched them, not even the SD cards, very weird as I don't know what there intentions are.

Great ideas. Then you'll be someone's "buddy" in the graybar hotel instead of the poachers having that honor.

Check with the Sheriff Dept and inquire if any off duty deputies would be interested in working security on your place. You stated that these same dirtbags have made return trespassing trips. Determine a pattern ie weekends, during the week, midweek, ect if possible. May have to pay off duty deputies or they may want to volunteer thier services. Usually a county sheriff's office wont have enough deputies to devote to watching one property but they can extra patrol the location in hopes of possibly locating trespassers vehicle or entry point. Game Wardens usually like a good trespass case and should work with you. Good luck let us know how it goes. Most likely they are from one of your neighboring properties.

I didn't say deadly. Why can't I leave a bottle of something on my property. It's not my fault they drank it. I'm not implying to kill them just make them suffer. I'm sorry I do not live my life based on fear of the law when it comes to scumbags like these.

that sucks but all in all at least they didnt steal you camera maybe they are respectfull poachers

Yeah, or they are just that stupid to not realize they are game cameras. I can't fathom the thought of a hunter not knowing this but I guess it is possible.

Catch 'em and let them go around my house... I'll take care of them for ya

They aint too smart, shouldnt take the GW much to catch these idiots, hang em high when he gets em!!!!
