TWRA non response

[MickThompson]

I've called them many times. And if I get a call back at all. It's usually a week later. Tell me how that's gonna help anything. Guess they figure they have nobody to answer to. Or they could care less about any situation you call them about. I think they need a restructuring like the federal government does.

or maybe it's because there's 1 or 2 of them to cover the county and they're probably maxed out on OT because it's the end of deer season and they're taking leave?

I wonder if you called and said " I have trespassers lurking on my property, I am armed and going to confront them if you'd like to join me".

Property is very well marked with NEW no trespassing signs, purple painted trees less than 100' apart.
The guy knows no one will do anything since landowners are mid 70's and non violent types.

Had two trespassing guys hunting out of season on trail camera this morning.
Called two different numbers for TWRA and one private officer's number.
No response, no callbacks, crickets.
Guess folks can hunt anytime they want, anywhere they want.

same for me three times!

Same here. The game warden in Henderson County is very responsive. He may tell you he's tied up elsewhere, on the other end of the county, etc. but he will answer your call and follow up when he can.

Can confirm. For both Henderson and Madison County.

If you can't properly mark your property and there are no fence lines it's hard to say where the lines are a lot of times, in NCO school we told a story to a student then they would pass it on, surprising how much it changed by the time it got to the last 1, same thing happens with boundary's.

Property IS fenced, and painted and marked with new obvious placed and located no trespassing signs.
These guys are walking right through the yard to access the woods.

Need their nut sack cut off, that's a total disrespect to the owners

Why would there be wire 20' up in the trees?

If you can afford to own large tracts of land you should at least be able to afford to run 1 barbwire run around it and some signs imo, no fence posts needed most of the time as a staple will hold up for a long time, have seen wire over 20' up in the trees over the years,

Payments for my property were precisely why I couldn't afford to run wire around my property...

Fence or no fence if you lease or have permission to hunt a place simply put you need to know the boundaries. Ignorance is no excuse. Even if the fence is 20' up the tree….

I hate to be negative, but this is one of the dumbest statements I have read on here in a while.

I need apologize for this statement toward mike243. Lack of sleep and many shots of cold and flu medicine over the last week has had my brain in a fog.

 

[mike243]

Don't worry about it, trying to remember what holler I seen that, have seen fences up 3-4' before but never that far, maybe next season before I get back there to take a picture. I got a deer mount with a mane that some folks can't believe too

 

[BigAl]

I wasn't talking about wire being 20' up in the trees. I was thinking about if you can afford a large tract of land you should be able to run barbwire around the tract of land.

You might be able to, but you shouldn't have to.

 

[mike243]

Marked in some way is all thats needed.

We had a young buck with a short mane here this season, got several trail cam pics of him.
