Had a minor expense with a chair I had built and placed on a neighbor's property This chair was placed below a rock face and sat on a shelf. From the chair I could see the fence line between the three properties. This chair was made with a five eighths exterior plywood seat. The seat was connected to the frame with 8 one and a half inch screws. Now this seat has been up there for the last twelve years.
On opening day of the deer season, I climbed up the wet slippery leaf covered hill to find that some no good had torn the seat completely off the frame. The screws were still in place. There was no sign of the former seat.
My conclusion is that the son of the new owner of the second adjoining property didn't like the fact that I could see there property and destroyed the seat. The new owner is from out of town and not the most impressive individual. Seems to think that he is better than these country bumpkins. Comes across as Mr. Big Shot.
My solution to the problem will be to place four telephone poles along the property line and erect a nice big high deer stand with plenty of windows overlooking his property. Will also have plenty of trail cams overlooking everything. I have the telephone poles that I got from the REA when they replaced them with taller ones.
May not get a lot of satisfaction out of the project, but it will be fun to pull the Big Shots chain. Might even catch his kid in the act an have him arrested for trespass. In WI we don't have to post our land. All land is considered closed to outsiders unless they have permission to be there.
As an aside, WI landowners are not liable for anyone who enters or recreates on our property. You can't set up traps to injure the trespasser. All I would need would be a picture of someone's back tag number.
