Their dogs woke me up at 1:30am this morning with a coon treed just 100 yards from my house. The SOB's where shooting at it! My house is in plain sight. I grab a spotlight, go out on the porch and light them up. They see me and then proceed to nonchalantly walk across the pasture 50 yards from the house like I wasn't even there. My german shepherd and heeler were going nuts. I yell at them to get off of my property. They say that they didn't know that they were on private property. I said well you crossed two 5 strand barbed wire fences with hot wire to get where you are at so I ain't buying the BS. I saw my bull in the pasture coming at a run toward them. He was probably thinking that they had a bucket of feed because sometimes I feed by flashlight. He ain't mean but I figured it would be funny to yell out to them to watch the bull because he is very aggressive. About that time they heard him coming and swung their lights that way. The rest is priceless. It was a foot race back to the fence. The bull looking for a snack and the three trespassers thinking they were in for a trampling. I heard at least one guy get hung up in the barbed wire trying to get over it. He was cussing a blue streak yelling " ouch, sh1t! get back, get back" while that wire was singing! Made my night. Mr. Bull will get an extra dose of grain tonight for a job well done. I imagine 1,800 lbs of muscle running at you through the darkness, made even bigger by the effect of their spotlights, caused some serious underwear skid marks. Now I have to go check my fence for damage and I am sure they used a piece of wire to short out the hotwire like they did last time. I enjoy a good coon hunt as much as the next guy but every hunt I ever participated in we had permission to hunt the property and would call the dogs off of a scent if they went somewhere we were not allowed. These guys park their truck about a mile down the road where the bridge crosses a creek and they hunt the creek up toward my property. Next time I may just have the local DNR warden sitting there waiting for them to come back out.
