This is a new problem for me. I own a small 5 acre spread that butts up to land owned by my parents. They don't allow hunting in on the land for liability reasons to anyone who isn't family. The land totals about 40 +/- acres with all of it being owned by my parents except my 5 acres and a 5 acre corner lot. The corner lot is the problem. The guy who bought it from my grandfather has no qualms about going into the woods owned by my parents to hunt. I've taken down 3 tree stands this year and repaired "tree damage" to the fence on more than one occasion since he moved in. I've never caught him red handed, but I've tracked his trail to the fence that joins up to my parents land. My parents are older (later 60's) and don't want him in the woods but don't know what exactly to do. I act as steward for the land, cleaning up dead fall, keeping the trails and campsites that we like to use clear, and doing fence and other repairs. I've told him to stay out, my brother told him to stay out, and my parents have told him to stay out. Frankly, I don't know what else to do. We've contacted the sheriff, but unless he's caught in the act, he can't do anything. Any suggestions? Its worth mentioning that the afore mentioned fence is an electric fence my grandfather had set up for cattle. Maybe up the voltage to Jurassic Park levels?
