I called Eastland Co Sheriffs office ...

He is in custody for something else that isn't related to any of this. But game warden has enough with all this to make his new housing a much much longer stay. Just hope everyone that was taken by this guy files charges and that eastland county pursues it to its fullest.

We had a situation where an adjoining land owner's SIL leased on one of our satellite timber tracts. It is a mature timber tract what doesn't need much managment and is several miles from the majority of our property, so I guess he figured we'd never notice.

The worst part was the man he took advantage of. The GW told me the guy had saved all year to have a place to take his son hunting. They had worked together to put in green fields and a couple of shooting houses, and then found out he had no rights to hunt. I met with him to see if his storie was legitimate, big ol guy starts crying about letting his son down, 10 yr old boy who had worked with his daddy every weekend to get the place ready and practiced his shooting all summer.
As mad as I was at the guy that leased the property, I couldn't bring my self to crush that little boys opportunity to make those memories with his dad. This will be the third year they have hunted the property for just the cost of an insurance policy.

Maybe I'm getting soft, but i was not about to take away their place to hunt, talk, and build a relationship they would cherish for a lifetime. Those who grew up hunting with their dad or granddad know what I'm talking about. I'm 40 with 2 degrees, but can promise you the most important lessons I ever learned were from my dad in a deer stand or sitting on the tailgate of a truck after a hard days work.

When I was a kid in high school my parents leased their land to a guy who the first year was solid. I think it was around the third year that he took all the hunters money but didn't pay any landowners. Parents property is out by Lake Daniels in Breckenridge and he had land "leased" from Abilene to W'ford. I think it was the mid/early 90's and I don't think the guy spent a day in jail over the offense but I could be wrong.

Thanks for the heads up. This guy sounds like J D Cox reincarnated but just my personal opinion.

His name is Shane Roberts ...we leased a part of our property in carbon tx
ToSHANE ROBERTS for hog hunting and this scum went and is leasing our property as a yr deer lease to at least 9 people that we know of which he has no rights to lease this property so these poor folks are out $1200 each.. The game warden has been noticed and is looking for him for fraud charges
So beware if leasing from a guy in carbon or gorman tx
Message me for more info or if your looking in these areas I can confirm this is our property
