Not sure if you all remembered my rant about hunting season and finding a guy on my land with a rifle -
Well today I was reading my textbooks and my dog's started acting real funny - so I fed them - it wasn't that - gave them "fresh water" wasn't that - so I let them outside (mind you this is the Rott - who was trained to protect- and Luna the mastiff.
They took off running and barking but stayed in the yard. Then they went over to the deer trail that goes off the side of our land to the road coming to our house. I called them back but then Luna - the mastiff went running up our driveway, would bark and look back at me.
So I put my shoes and a flannel on and started walking up the road, where I found three cars parked ON MY LAND right next to the No Trespassing and No Hunting Sign. Now this "road" is an easement that we have allowed for others to access their land behind ours - but ours extends out about 5 acres past their cars or so. So here they are all parked on my road blocking it so that I can not drive on MY land which is where I dump my old hay and bedding. (Mind you that was my chore for today was to finish cleaning out all the bedding so that I could spray the area and then medicate my animals)
I asked them if I could help them as my mastiff and rott are standing next to me barking. They said no that they were going back there to camp. I asked if they were going to "so and so's place" they said no that they were going to ______ 's land. I asked them if they were planning on shooting and that we would prefer that there was NO hunting up here.
One guy decided to get a little smart and said that he could do what he wanted on the other land. So I decided to inform him that I was "allowing" him to access that land since they have to cross mine to get to it, and I was being nice.
As I went to walk away, I heard one of the others say but if the dogs..... I immediately stopped, spun around, and told them that I would REALLY not even start that crap with me!
I went to the barn where I can see their vehicles and watched for a while. Now what kind of idiots would go "camping" in the middle of the winter in the middle of a huge snow storm when it is below freezing?? I think there are 4 or 5 or them and 3 vehicles. That I saw. And again, my husband is not home. I honestly think that one of them is the same one that I busted up here before during hunting season. But I am going to send my husband out there to "have a chat" when he gets home, as now we can not even access our own land. I also am going to go out and take pics of the vehicles, license plate numbers, and where they are parked, and the signs not 5 feet from their vehicles.
It just makes me so mad that they would act like this instead of getting an attitude. I would not have cared at all if they parked where they are at, if they would have just come to the house and said, you know, our friend owns some land back here, and he said that we could camp - do you mind if we park our vehicles here till whenever. We won't be doing any hunting, as we saw your signs and obviously you are against it (17 signs to be exact) and so we just wanted you to know we were here. I mean really how hard would that be???
Sorry - had to vent a bit, because now I have no where to get rid of the barn stuff to try to erradicate the lice issue.
