Unless the property is crossfenced there is no reason for him to cross the fence. The guy was tresspassing and he knew what he was doing. I would like to know how long he has been hunting your stand and how many deer he has taken.
I would like to know what your landowner has to say about it.

Report it to the GW ASAP. Turn in all the stuff. If you wait, your credability shrinks. The suspect gains credability if he calls and reports his stuff stolen.
That's my .02...

Why bother buying a hunting license if you are going to 'hunt' illegally.
Glad the good guy won on this one!

Update folks! I stopped by the landowners and asked if she was letting anyone else hunt. Man, she got pissed to hear what happened and explained I was the only one with hunting rights! So, I called the game warden and sheriff and explained the situation. I met the game warden last night, I gave him everything that was left behind, bow, backpack and license. I could�ve kept it, but the game warden explained it could come back to haunt me. When he confronts the man, he�ll ask about his belongs and he said it�s easier if he says the state has it. I�ll be looking over my shoulder enough while I�m out there, I don�t want to make things worse.
In the end, he�ll get arrested for trespassing and the landowner will press charges � so better him than me. Just sucks that now I have to worry about possibly dealing with this idiot in the future.. I�m hoping for the best, but if I run into him again things will be different.

I think you handled it perfectly.

One last question - do you have a concealed carry permit? If not, couldn't the GW have cited you for carrying a firearm during bowseason?

You did the right thing often times such people are cowardly about their actions until they get the option for revenge. Now if you run into this guy at the local store, bar, feedstore ect and he starts some nonsense you have documented your correct actions. Keep us posted with a new thread if possible as this unfolds, you might just help another hunter deal with a problem they have in the future.

JR I thought the same thing but I bet you the GW doesn't blame him one bit. I don't. I don't own a handgun but I have always thought that was a stupid law. If I had one I would dang sure carry it while hunting.

Awesome....and please keep us posted.
I might be inclined to put your pop up back in the same spot but also put another one near by on the same feeder. I would not hunt the old one but have it up to see if he comes back for revenge. I would be worried that he but a few bullet or arrow holes through it is why i would NOT be in it.

Good going, think you handled it great. I might have given the GW everything but the bow, though. If the perp asked about it, I would be like, "What bow?"
