DNR- private property

[Scout11]

Have 50 acres of woods- owned for 30 + years- DNR have been walking around when I'm not there, walked up on my son in his deer stand opening morning. Ask for normal info. This has happened 2 years in a row. Both times to someone on my property. How is it these guys can stroll around on private property with no cause? I have never seen them or I would probably be in court right now. Someone have an answer.

If it was DNR Po-Po, I think they can do just about anything they want. Even arrest the POTUS.

 

[Scout11]

POTUS?

 

[360]

President of the United States.

The DNR is a LEO so they still have to follow the rules. They would need probable cause to come on your property or have a warrant.

The Conservation Officers can pretty much go wherever they want, no warrant needed. Luckily there aren't that mamy of them and they tend to have better things to do than cause trouble.

They have been in my cabin with out me there- walked through my property. Not that they are causing trouble- just seem to like my property once a year. Know a DNR officer- asked him how they can do this- he said because we can.. Use to be a nice guy before the he got the badge. cocky-bstrd.

"Investigating hunting, fishing and poaching" pretty much. I don't have the regs handy (as I don't hunt) but if they suspect you of hunting (even on private property) they can ask for all your info. If you are just walking around armed, you tell them to pound sand... if they can't articulate why they think you are hunting.

Most states give these wildlife officers a vast amount of power and the ability to trespass almost at will.

Back in the day you had to get a license to hunt because all the animals in teh forest belonged to the King.

Today we need a license to hunt on private property... why? Public land? Yes I can see that, as it is public... but private? Why should I have to get permission and pay tribute to the oligarchy to hunt on my own land? Friggin tyrannical if you ask me.

Slaves. Todays hunters are slaves asking permission from their masters to hunt on "their" land.

If you know they are doing it and who is doing it, why haven't you told them to get off and stay off?

Then if they can do it you'll find out pretty quick how.

they seem to see everyone but me- my son is 12 years old- first year deer hunting- these guys walked up on him opening morning- he told them I was in a stand over the ridge- two DNR guys walk up on a 12 year old with no orange on- asked him for his license- scared the **** out of him- they didn't even bother to come over to me- Rights we have are none on our own land...your right- I will find out what the law is when I see them.

 

[IndyMonkey]

repeat after me.....Its the kings deer.

 

[Scout11]

......Agreed.....

 

[Indy_Guy_77]

Should be pretty easy to find out what district that you're in...and then to look up that district commander...

 

[50bmgshooter]

DNR......CAN and WILL come on to your property. They are allowed by law or statute(not sure which one) to do so.

 

[Ashkelon]

Power corrupts. Good thing they are usually dumb as the corner post of your cabin.

 

[sptland]

Have you upset a neighbor? If so, that is a popular form of "probable cause". They do need probable cause - but it sometimes comes from improbable sources.

 

[singlestacksig]

The DNR is specificaly allowed by law to enter upon private land to enforce game laws.
the question is why do they keep coming onto your land ? is something going on out there that they are looking for, does someone keep calling them out there?

You just said for the second time it was DNR. They have telephones and offices you know.
