I have too many cattle

 

[wundudnee]

When I was younger I had a farm with three nice ponds on it. I often had people ask for permission to fish. I rarely turned anyone down. I liked to hunt pheasants in Western Kansas and appreciated getting permission to hunt from those farmers. However, I have run a few folks off.

Once I took my pickup to the back of my place to check my cows. My large pond was at the back of the place and out of sight of the house. When I got back there, there was a party going on. There were six or eight people fishing, some more cooking on grills and a motor home just over the fence blasting music. I asked who gave them permission for this get together and they said my new neighbor, who I hadn't met yet. I told them to pick up their stuff and git. .......If only they had asked.

From what I have been reading WV is a pretty good state to live in.

It's almost Heaven

Oops, sorry I forgot you had a cattle farm. Too bad; I'd love to see the trespassers having to push an ATV with a flat tire a mile back to their truck.

Caltrops can be Easily made from under side wire " screen" on some box springs. Cut out a " cross" and bend wire with pliers. Have yet to try them out but as things are going may give them a try, lol.

Fence it, post it. When someone crosses they know and have no excuse. In NM you need written permission to hunt private property of others.

How about new signs:
P320s in use on property

UGH I have one

Actually by code it is suppose to be purple paint 2"x8" vertical with center of paint between 3' and 6' off the ground on trees, fence posts and road border areas. No distance between painted areas are specified.

I seem to remember something about spacing. My perimeter is miles....that's a lot of rattle cans

I didn't mention it in the ranting but the amount of trash that the "fishermen" leave is really annoying. Sneak on, fish a little, leave (like I did as a kid). but when you leave piles of trash and break in and steal things and destroy property I have no mercy. And when I drive onto my driveway/gravel road and you're parked in it blocking my access and have lawn chairs set up under the no trespassing signs it gets me a bit pissed. And when I take pictures of your license plates and you get angry that is just the wrong response.
