I don't have any answers, and to me it looks inevitable. Anybody got ideas??
I can make a few suggestions. The have nots don't have much in the first place, so thats why there trying to take advantage of whats yours. With that in mind, a lowlife trespasser/poacher is easy to profile as you all should know. he's the guy with the pick up truck with the gun rack in the rear window. In most cases this is one of his finest possessions next to his singlewide.
So I would suggest implementing a judiciary like form of punishment. 1st offense: find his truck while he is in the woods on your property and smash the windshield with a baseball bat Remember not to leave the bat because he may beat his wife with it when he gets back to the singlewide. 2nd offense: find his truck and run your knife through the sidewalls of all 4 tires Chances are he will drive away on the flats, then steal 4 more to replace them. so... 3rd offense: take a empty gallon milk jug and fill with gasoline. Tape a M-80 firecracker to the side with duct tape. Place the jug on the front seat of his truck and delay the fuse with a cigarette. If you feel like it, stay close enough to the truck for when it erupts so you can videotape the event and mail the tape to the a@@hole later.
If the trespasser comes back to your property after all that, call the cops
