Vandalism at Cow Bay

[jethro]

After this mornings hunt i decided to check out a couple of the other hunting spots in the area and see how the other guys did opening morning. When I pulled into the Blackley Farm public hunting area, a fellow hunter flagged me over. Apparently while he was out hunting some jackass took the valve stem out of his tire and let all the air out. He asked if I had a jack and tire iron. "of course" I replied, always willing to help out a fellow hunter. As I was helping him out he mentioned that the same thing was done to another vehicle earlier.
Last year me and a buddy were hunting about 1km away, and when we returned to the truck, someone had let the air out of one of our tires as well. Its hard to say if these acts of vanadlism are random, or if they are being directed against hunters. I have heard of altercations between hunters and antis in the area in the past.
I just wanted to give my fellow hunters who use this area a heads-up, and hopefully if we all look out for each other we can catch the culprit and put an end to this senseless vandalism.

Throw on some camo, sit in a bush with a paint ball gun and use frozen paint balls. And don't forget to put a big stick in the spokes of there bike.

You could always try baiting them with sandles, candles, yogurt and patchouli

I have heard of conflicts with some local residents in the area as well. The idea of hiding out with a camera may not be a bad one.

I had a few yahoos yesterday standing about a 100 yards off from me taking pictures of me and my set up. Nice bright yellow and red jacket makes it great for decoying birds.

I had a note in my windshield last fall stating that I should have called. I'm not sure if I was parked on Reserve land or not and may have crossed it while on to the spot I hunt. I've heard of others again losing their tire valves in there.

It might be a good idea to pick up a set of spare valve stem inserts and a portable tire compressor for the vehicle.

Setup a trail cam nearby... Catch them in the act.

eco friendly treehugger type !!!

What a burn!!! I can't stand these type of people. These are the types that as soon as they are confronted turtle up and call the cops crying.

Check the regs, I don't think you are allowed to bait treehuggers. I think you can hunt them with dogs though.
