See the parish the OP is from ?
Also the one's that are above and below Vernon, Private land owner's owned most of the frontage acre's that bordered the road's.
Most of the time you would cross private property to get to the state and timber company owned hardwood bottom's.
This land was not hunting club's but open range until the mid 1980's,That's when everything changed and was leased up.
Leased land changed the way we hunted from then to now, Most sit in a box.
Back in the early 80's we would walk up the deer, Find were it's bedded down,Go back early the next day and wait for a shot.

I'm a jerk I guess because I would have her arrested for trespassing.
She did not make it to the backstop to shoot because there is another game cam before the backstop at the camper, and she did not show up on it. She came and went from the entrance. Probably 80yds into the property. This is my brother's thread.
This was also my advice. Outlaw bikers think alike

This all might be a big misunderstanding and will blow over. But it might not. It would behoove you to get a police repot to have a documented record of these events.

I can see that you city boy's will end up with your crap burnt to the ground, I missed nothing, I'm from up there,
These redbone's can be your good friend's or if you pull petty crap on them, They will burn you out.
These people have been going where they want to go for year's.
Beside's this thread is not about me,I don't wish to see the O.P. loose his camper.

I like the idea of inviting them over to shoot. Talk about about the game cam pic and make it clear that you'd appreciate a heads up if she sees the need to walk around you land or shoot at your back stop. The other actions people have give. Can still be taken if things don't work out.
You might actually end up having a good relationship with your neighbors. I think that's worth a shot.

I have only had one "personal" experience with these neighbors. We had the land for about a year and my daughter was riding the golf cart around on MY land and she stopped my daughter from the road. She asked my daughter what she was doing there. My daughter told her that her parents were on the land. The lady told her to go get us. My daughter came to get us. I went to the road and she was already on the cell phone with the sheriff's dept.. She asked me if this was our land, I told her that I was. She told the sheriff dept. nevermind and hung up with them. She told me "sternly" that someone had been on thier land. I told her that it wasn't us and she agreed. That is the kind of people that I am going to have to deal with here. SOOOO, I don't really know what to do here. She wasn't crossing my land she was just plain ol' Tresspassing. She wasn't shooting at my backstop. I am afraid that this could get nasty if I call the P.D.. I am away for 28 says every other month so I can't rely on being there all the time. I would like to find out if she was looking for a dog or something like that. And I wouldn't have a problem with that kind of thing, Contrary to popular belief, I am not an *******.
Her **** is flammable too .
While it is trespassing, illegal and annoying take a step back and think about everything being said on this thread. Then go over to other sites like "BayouBucks" or 'LouisianaSportsman" and search for Trespassing and see that everyone has had an encounter like this on their land that they currently do not live on. The people that live next door or near have been using that land before you owned it and probably had a unspoken trust with the previous owner to access the property. When you're not there, they can make it hell on you and being in small towns, the law seems to not be on your side.
I'm in favor of the suggestion of inviting them over to utilize your range or some other way to "break bread" with them and bring it up in conversation that you have game cameras watching for wildlife and caught them on the camera. No finger pointing, no allegations or "fighting words" need to take place. Maybe best case scenario is that she was just taking a walk, keeps a firearm as protection and was just being neighborly by checking in on your property for you. Keep them on your good side, because as said, file a report and prosecute and they can/will make your life hell there. In time if you feel like they're abusing your hospitality or are getting paranoid you should mention it that you would like to have your privacy and not have anyone come on your property without being notified or asked first.
