So I have some land that I do a little hunting on and let friends hunt on, just a place to get away and cut firewood, shoot the hullabaloo, do man stuff. I have some trail cameras out there that my nephews run and like I said, nothing to serious just a place to mess around.
Here's the problem and I need to know how it should be handled or how you would handle it. On Sunday some punks stole both trail cameras. They were on 2- 4 wheelers and on a dirtbike. From the size of the tires I can tell the dirt bike is probably a smaller kids size and don't know much about the 4 wheelers except that from the look of the tires ones probably a 2 stroke because it had sand tires on it. Well I have been know to track a dog back to the liter as I'm probably the only non indian indian tracker in Kansas. I tracked these 3 dumbasses back to a gate that is directly 2 miles from my property. Of course the gate was locked and there's no house there but it's obviously a rec. place that I'm guessing their family uses. How should I go about handling this? I'm guessing the 2 kids were out joy riding and going in and out of land illegally when they ran across the trail cameras. They didn't take the feeder that was there as I'm guessing if they brought that home to Pa he would whip their ass. Should I find this guys number and call him? Should I contact fish and game? Call the sheriff? Shoot up his gate and cut his lock? Burn down his pasture? I'm really pissed about this and have been known to have fits of uncontrolable rage when dealing with thiefs........any advice would be good as I don't want to go to jail at such a young age...
