[QUOTE="Lowlander, post: 2018706, member: 115963"] I would recommend getting in touch with local LE, most likely the local game warden in the area your property is in. If you need help getting in contact with someone, PM me. I live in central WV, was born here and have lived most of my life here. I have some contacts in LE if you have any issues. Also, WV does have the purple paint law. I would recommend that you hit trees around the perimeter of your property along with posted signs. We own a similar sized piece of property, been in my family since just after the Civil War. We have dealt with these same issues with poachers. To some, it seems to be a way of life around here. This guy obviously thinks he can get away with it, most likely because he's been doing it so long. Some have posted about locals having a lack of respect for out of state land owners, this is true here. The majority of us aren't like this, we deal with the same morally defunct poachers as you. But we are here to keep an eye out as well as have decent neighbors that help us do the same. I wouldn't dare to go on to anyone else's property around here with a rifle and night vision. That is something that will get you hurt or worse in a hurry. So this guy obviously thinks he's safe trespassing on you because your not there to bust him full time. Anyway, if you need any help just let me know. Most game wardens in this area will hammer him for what he is doing to you. He just needs to be put in his place and know your not going to just roll over and take it. But let the game warden take care of him, they have been good about working with us over the years.
