What would you do?

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.

im with him 100%........if it is true and you know for certain its true then do what needs to be done..........its not ur fault he screwed up!

A felony charge and a felony conviction are two different things. A convicted felon cannot possess a firearm, he may hunt with a crossbow, bow and some different kinds of muzzle loaders, so make a decision that you will not regret.

why does she have to be cute? She has land to hunt

X2. if it is a lot of land, might be worth it. You will be out hunting during day light hours, you will only see her in the dark. does the dad have money too? all the better

[eradicator]

Let me get this straight. You would like a felon hunting on your propety/lease just because you pay a minimal trespass fee? It's especially worse since the farmer's daughter just loves the 'bad boy' and he gets to hunt for free. I hope everyone's safety and integrity is in check. This seems like a really bad idea!

I have the operation game thief phone number saved in my phone. And, I have not turned down a reward yet. What you may find really interesting is that law enforcement, to include TP&WD, is very good at following up on leads with the utmost discretion.

Lets just say that some "random" visits to hunting camp, fishing locations, or other recreation areas, are not really so random

Yes.

Do the right thing -- even if it does hurt you.

It constantly amazes me how many people will get on a public forum and say they can just turn a blind eye to an offense that means state jail time. The price of the lease has absolutely nothing to do with the situation.

Please tell me how you can explain that your kids.

I guess right is right, unless you can get something good out of something that is wrong......

Get the facts and do the right thing, make sure he is just not bowhunting. If he truly is a convicted felon and has a gun in his posession then it's a no brainer, his mistake and his penalty. Overlooking this type of thing is one of the many reasons this country is messed up right now.

What Thumper said...

Honesty and Integrity are the only roads to walk.

Y'all crack me up! lol They were "10"s when I went to sleep......the sober fairy came and dusted them with ugly......

Please, not while I'm enjoying my morning coffee. That's funny.

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.

Are you considering turning him in because he is a felon or are you considering turning him in because you don't like him,he hunts for free and this is a way to get rid of him.If he paid and was a good guy to be around would you still consider turning him in?

Before you knew he was a felon did you have a problem with the guy? Was his conviction a rapist or did he screw up in college and ride with the wrong guy with a little speed in his pocket. Not saying he was right for doing that either but why is it your responsibility to judge that. How do you know that it wasnt many years ago and he may have a pardon from the governor just to hunt. In Louisiana my cousin is a detective for the sherriffs department and there the Sherriff can allow a felon to hunt with a shotgun but needs pre-approval

[netxbuck]

Just curious how many here call the police every time they are at Chilis and see someone leave that has had two beers? Or if you see a grown man pull out of walmart with his seatbelt not on. Are those your civil duties also?

[hoythunter02]

Look like from your statement above that he hasn't done anything wrong. SO what are you going to turn him in for?

[Red Wing R/C]

Flip a coin. Heads, you say nothing. Tails you say nothing. A win,win situation. If you do drop a dime on him, who do you think will be the biggest loser?
