What would you do?

[tpack]

I just found out that a person on my lease has a charge from his past and cannot even posess a firearm. He is family of the person that we lease from and we don`t have any say who gets to hunt. We get to hunt for 350 per gun so we can`t complain to much, but the person with a felony is full of bs and gets away with whatever he wants because he lives with the owners daughter. I don`t think he can even buy a liscense if he has a felony conviction, but I may be wrong.Do you think I should drop a dime on him to the GW and get him real trouble or bite my tounge and put up with his bs from now on. I really don`t want him to get in serious trouble, but I would like it a lot if he wasn`t on our lease . I forgot to mention that he hunts for free as well to. The owner added him to the lease and didn`t go down on the price per hunter either.I really don`t want to jepordize my hunting priviledges by telling on him so I thought someone might have a creative idea to how handle the problem so it wouldn`t come back to bite me on the back side. I really don`t want to let the jeanny out of the bottle and not be able to get him back in.

[Mayhem]

the only problem with telling on him is you might be screwing yourself out of a place to hunt.. not to mention i would do anything until i had all my facts straight and knew everything about the situation.

[Ol Thumper]

Maybe he just bowhunts?

[Bubbabowhunter]

Sounds like it is time to find another lease. You're supposed to have a great time at the hunting lease! JMHO

[stymie]

you may end up liable in "aiding and abetting" if he is on the property with you with a firearm and is truly a convicted felon. But we only know one side of this story. Good luck.

[Tuffbroadhead]

Before you say anything to anybody and cause trouble, you had better make dang sure your facts are true..

[mikemorvan]

Based on the recap above: Drop an anonymouss dime to the sheriff and / or game warden and be prepared to hunt somewhere else. I'd probably just find another place. But long term, i don't see anything good coming from this situation. Good luck.

Unless I had ALL the facts and I didn't think he posed a danger to the public i'd mind my own business. There are a TON of variable that you probably don't know reguarding the situation and just because he annoys you is no reason to stir a bees nest.

Or tend to your own business and don't worry about it if it does'nt effect you.

I would keep my mouth shut if I planned on staying there.

That's what I was always told by those older and wiser than I.

The problem with the "minding your own business" thing is that if he is truly a convicted felon and cannot posess a firearm, he should be turned in. You didn't do the crime, he did. Have to pay to play. Too many people just turn a blind eye and that has become an accepted view throught society. I wouldn't stand for that, but that is just me. I would get all the facts first though, regardless of what you decide.

Treat others as you would want them to treat you!

I see a win win situation here. Rat him out, while he is in the pokey start keepin company with the owners daughter and then you can hunt for free!!
