Some game and some trespassers.

Actually at the cottage I have a game camera on my boat at the dock. I have seen many pictures of the neighbors kids,(3 aged 8-12) a couple of doors down fishing off my dock when we are not there. Does not bother me, as long as they do not do any damage to the boat. Yes I do understand why people do not want others on their property when they are not there .

It's shocking to me to see how many folks think "ah they look nice, no biggie". These people are breaking the law, plain and simple, they should buy their own land, pay property tax on said land or stay on public land. Is that such a hard concept for people these days?

In a word? Yep!

Regarding another thread, just wondering if the couple are on a road allowance that runs thru or adjacent to the property.

This trail is clearly marked private land and they had to go under or around a gate to get where they are. I'll check the camera again in a week or 2 and maybe have some more.

ASK first to go for a walk chances are you will be able to.

Exactly. Unless there's a sign that says Welcome for a walk around, stay the hell off others property. It's called respect.

Frankly I have to agree..trespassing is trespassing. If you don't own it. Don't have permission to be on it. Stay the hell off it. I've had so many issues in and out of hunting seasons... it's very frustrating

Making generalizations like " You must be an only child" is an uncalled for ad-hominem attack that lends nothing to the discussion.

Go buy 100 acres of prime mixed bush, full of game and possibilities. Post it, and then watch people ignore that, and use YOUR property illegally.....let's talk then....

Well said. I have 100 acres and get pictures of kids climbing on my tree stands and blinds. I understand sometimes people follow a trail and end up somewhere they shouldn't be but when you get pictures of the same people a second time you start to wonder.

This does remind me of the Sunday Hunting issues and debate a couple years ago. People were arguing that they wanted to go for walks and enjoy nature and not have to worry about hunters. Yet Sunday hunting was only going to be allowed on private property. Guess it was the trespassers enjoying these uninhibited walks in the bush...

I wouldn't worry about them going for a nice nature walk, no harm to anyone. I would worry more about the thieves or unethical hunters trespassing to steal or hunt on your property.

just my opinion anyways
