good luck. Poachers and trespassers are the worst
I didn't want to say it, but yeah this ^^^ 100%.
We are in west Hickman just a couple miles from 50 and I know guys that know a lot of people…is this more W Hickman or E Hickman?
One of my neighbors got into an altercation with a coon hunter, the dogs had chased a coon up into his yard, and they were shining lights into his windows, middle of the night. Coon hunter had the nerve to tell him he had permission from the landowner to hunt there. My neighbor is the landowner.
Yes, not sure why people think they can go wherever they want. I like to ask them if they want me riding through their yards. Trespassing is rampant here, mostly just riders. Guy came riding through with his boom box blasting, claimed to be lost. Ruined my turkey hunt for the day.
I deal with trespassers all the time at my place. Not just hunters, walkers and treasure hunters with nice detectors. I love all the excuses and names of people that gave them permission.
Hope you can find out who it is.
If you don't chase a gobbling bird, you ain't much of a turkey hunter. LOL
Coon hunters are worse though.

Yeah so we found him. Kudos to TWRA called me back the night it was reported and did great work!
Don't want to divulge too much info on the interwebs but we are working on the next steps..

^Good. Hopefully that'll be the most expensive turkey he's ever killed.
I've never understood landowners/managers that tolerate trespassing. Word gets around pretty darn quick when enforcement takes place.

Looks like a bird on his back as well.. Really pisses me off because this is one of the birds I was going to take my 9 yo son after.. Anyways TWRA notified and we have people on it.. But if anyone recognizes this knucklehead off Hwy 50 in Centerville let me know? I bet he is a local.....I use a step ladder to hang my cams. Most tresspassers wont haul a ladder into a woods they shouldnt be in.
Hope ya catch em!!!!!

Hate that! I hunt public in Nashville and actually had to yell at a guy because he was poaching but didn't see me on the adjacent public. It's guys like that who mess it up for everyone
I hope they make him pay a hefty fine and throw all they can at him. At least enough to make him think about it the next time the thought pops in his head.

I mean he messed up by not keeping that face mask on 
sad thing is , he will probably just get a slap on the hand .
Guessing it makes a big difference on TWRA's end that you had the land posted—otherwise my understanding is, they can't do very much.
