I have long suspected that the guy who owns the cattle on our lease has been poaching on us. Im constantly finding evidence of this including a pic on one of our trail cams of some guy none of us recognize. Unfortunatle we have not had the pleasure of meeting him so I have no idea what he looks like. I guess I need to place some cameras in hidden places and padlock the blinds. Any other suggestions ?

Find out what's his name (if you think its him) through the land owner and just ask. Nothing better than being blunt and get straight to the point.

Stands or blinds you can't lock up, put something on the seat or chair, or anything that would have to be moved in order for somebody to hunt it.
I would sometimes leave a stick stuck inbetween the expandable metal on my climber. No wind or rain would be able to move it. If it was moved or gone, then I knew somebody had used my climber. It's a start, but if you have some cameras, just place them looking at the stands. They may not even expect it, therefore, never even notice it.

Place a trail camera high up in a tree facing your stand. I did that a very long time ago and caught a guy hunting my stand. I also would take my seat off my gametamer when I was not hunting.

Just curious as to why you say you can't lock them up?

I think he's saying "on the stands that you can't lock up, do this..." puncuation sometimes makes a difference.

If you have no faith in the land owner,no telling who's hunting it

[LovinTxHuntin]

I dont get to deal directly with the landowner so thats part of the problem

Most importantly, find out if the land owner said he can hunt the land. Cameras don't matter if the owner has said he can hunt. If not, also try to change up when you go to the lease (i.e. if you only hunt Sat/Sun, try showing up on a Tuesday). Rotate with other guys on your lease just enough the cattle owner isn't sure when you will be hunting.

So does capitalization

The cameras only help if he truly can't be hunting there. I would start with the landowner and be certain this guy is breaking the rules. As was said, talking to the guy might get you a long ways too.

This Works GOOD.....Suprise is the element ...But if the Land-Owner gave him the OK then u either have to live with it or Move On

Should be a agreement for everybody involved.

You should have or need to get a copy of the agreement.

How do you lock a tripod set up or a box blind that has no door??? I don't know what kind of stands they have set up.

Somebody has to. Go to that person and talk.

Reason for the agreement.

...But if the Land-Owner gave him the OK then u either have to live with it or Move On

If the land owner has leased the grazin rights to one guy and the huntin rights to another guy, more than likely he doesn't even know. I know a few people who lease land for their cows and tell their friends "I got that placed leased, so yeah, go hunt"!!!
