Pictures soon

[44trxfun]

Richard,

Just a note to say I'm sorry for the loss of your best friends to you and your family. I didn't look at all your pics, but I remember similar tragedies when I was a kid growing up. Led to me being very vigilant about posting and monitoring my property as an adult. Like you, I have no problem with respectful hunters, but unfortunatley swine like this gives hunters a bad name.

Know that our thoughts are with you and yours...

the first two rocks I put down (last pic) were the ones that caused two hunters to call the sheriff and complain. the Sheriff then called TVA and the TVA dude came out, looked at the 2 rocks and said, yep, that's about exactly like I told him to place them...and yes mr. Sheriff, he has my written permission to be doing all of this" (YEAH BABYYYYYYYYY...that was said right in front of the complaning hunter!)

Realizing they will simply park in FRONT of the rocks and on the roadside... I decided to alter it a bit more and help entice people to NOT do that

Now these rocks are literally 100 feet from my mailbox and I see them daily coming and going...so ANY yahoo that tries to move them will not only likely be heard, it will be but hours before I SEE it and will apply appropriate pressure BACK on the rocks, such that they resume their blockage patterns.

The 20 tons of rocks cost me $198 and some odd pennies delivered same day

this is the other part of road where we have issues and where I can not find the pics of the TREES I had across here. They were entire (though very dead & brittle) pine trees that I put here initially. this day, I moved them to that trail and replaced with the remainder of the rocks

 

[Richard]

This is the other opening they use. they circle around the two openings, going through a deep mud puddle tossing mud all over the road, making the ruts larger...worse..they will do this at 2:00 am, waking the neighbor (my nearest) who's house is directly behind me, a mere 100 feet away. Oh..and the yahoos that come out late at night like that, ALSO have open pipes on their 4-wheelers, very polite thing to do at 2:00 am.

 

[Richard]

This was the first, origional opening they used. You can clearly see one of the two large rocks I dropped there (again, at my expense) I had several trees (cedar) dropped INSIDE the puddle they were making larger & larger. you can see the butt ende of one of them next to rock (trees laying away from the view).

Well, I have about 4 trees in this puddle to keep them out, and other day, some yahoo felt he could ride the log, go between the rock and the tree... seems he was right.

Soooooooooooooooo, now that I see my weakspot, I adjusted it a tad by adding the branch that you see going crossways. All the other trees (one can be seen in distance) are straight back, blocking the "road" (cough cough) that goes back to "no mans land".

I've already decided that since the quarry is maybe 2 or 3 miles away, I'll just putter over there on a Saturday morning to pick up 2 rocks like this at a time (roughly $5.00 each) and place them in "holes" that these considerate people create. Personally, I think the road would be attractive if the whole road had a large boulder placed about every 4 feet.

guess Rome wasn't built in 1 day either... maybe someday I can bounce my grandkid on my lap and talk about the day "before the rocks" /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Richard,

I have miss typed my thought and you found it!!!! I meant to say ......just sitting around sulking and feeling angry......I left out the sitting around part. I totaly heard your anger. This makes me want to load up the Kubota and come help with placing the rocks. But I would have to buy an FEL and a trailer. I guess that would be a good thing!!! /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

Again..... I really feel your anger and pain and I find those bad words muttered from my own mind when thinking of the idiots that have caused this pain.

Rob

Richard,

My sympathies go out to you and your family. It truly is an outrage.

After reading your story I have become quite sick /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I think your anger is fully justified and then some /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. The kind of person who would kill your dogs for fun is the same kind of person who would kill a human for fun if they could get away with it, the same kind that tortured Jews in Natzi Germany, the same kind that killed innocent people in Iraq, the same kind that tortured slaves here 200 years ago. They are the lowest form of scum and there is nothing more I can say for them. If someone were to hurt my dogs I would go bezerk and that could likely take a lethal form.
That said, please don't allow your dogs to roam free. I am absolutely certain the people behind me would kill my dogs if they got the chance and thought I would not figure it out. Fortunately, I have already explained to them EXACTLY what would transpire if they did but I don't trust them at all /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I got another "neighbor" who I think would hurt them as well. He even came over one day and told me he would poison my dogs if they did not quit barking at night--let's see---I work nights and my dogs are in the house--NOT outside barking /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. Well, he was also explained to by this Louisiana redneck the ramifications of poisining dogs and animals. Can you imagine the audacity, he is a big shot lawyer and moved to the "country" for quiet /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif. I explained to him he might want to move a bit further out /forums/images/graemlins/mad.gif.
There are some bad people in this world /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. I am sorry that your pups came across one. The best thing to do is keep your dogs and kids in your sight at all times unless they are in the house or in the fenced back yard. I have a huge fenced area so they can be outside. Of course, we go on long walks several times a day between me and my wife and my vet neighbor lady who walks them also with her dogs. I figure this is much better than my going to jail after I dealt with some yahoo that hurt them. If I let them wander around though they would not go far but dogs and kids often don't recognize property lines and it is trouble waiting to happen, trouble I don't need.
I hope you find out who did it but then again I hope not because then what will happen after the legal system refuses to do anything to them. Maybe it is best you never know who they are. I am sorry for your pups and your family /forums/images/graemlins/frown.gif. J
