I have done this EXACT thing 35+ years ago, because the kids in the area would go back into our hay field and tear it up, several hundred cars/trucks, one sunday morning I drove out there, and they had found the board with spikes in it, but there were 10-15 cars back there with all 4 tires totally flat. LOL. It was AWESOME!!!
@@georgea6403 no, I didn't live there thankfully, I just worked for the farmer. But suprisingly no, they stopped coming, and never messed with any of the equipment, nothing. I was just a 14-15 year old kid at the time, and it did make me nervous that someone would do something, because I lived 2-3 miles away, and rode a moped to work at 4am to milk cows, so I was always worried someone would try something, but they never did. LOL.
My battle buddy was having the same issue, but what he did was alot more extreme . He had some contractors dig a deep ass trench and cement the walls...that thing was DEEP! And he had them install removable cattle grating on top of it. When he wasn't there he removed the grating. Had a couple "issues" with wreckers having to come and remove a few assholes, but he hasn't had any problems for a very long time! LOL God bless you and your Family, Brother!
My grandmother used to do this. Her and my grandfather lived in a pretty rural area and kids would come along and play mailbox baseball or tear up her yard, plus they would drive like lunatics because it was a straight road for about a mile. So my grandmother would take screws, nails, staples and everything in a thin board she painted brown and green an pl placed it in her yard right before the mailbox. She popped a ton of tires and one time the screws bent inside the tire and it brought the board up and smacked Into the front of the car and busted out headlights and grill, put a screw through the radiator. The kids actually pounded on my grandparents door at 2 a.m. and demanded they guve him money for wrecking his car. Well my grandfather, who was a WW2 vet, answered the door with a .357 Python and my grandmother had a .410 shotgun. He backed down immediately. Called the cops and threatened to sue, but he wound up getting arrested for DUI.
I used to work in the Bakken Oilfield in North Dakota and the best sign I have seen on farmers land was "Prayers is a great way to meet Jesus, Trespassing is the fastest". That sign does the trick even though when we ran across that sign we weren't intentionally trespassing. After reading that sign we turned back around.
This is awesome! Just use longer spikes/nails/screws than on your first "prototype". Rubber tires tend to be thinker and kick out sharp objects under speed.
People don’t understand! ITS YOUR FREAKING PROPERTY I have properties in the mountains of eastern Tennessee and Western NC. My last layer of warning signs say “You are no longer a Trespasser. You are a Target.”
AND THAT MY FRIEND CAN BE USED AGAINST YOU IN COURT--- BEST TO USE NO TRESSPASSING SIGNS AS DICTATED IN THE COUNTY OR STATE CODES- anything else can and will be used against u
I had crackheads hack my phone cause all types of hell burn my home down and the government tortures me and I'm the bad guy for trying to get the people absolutely crazy I just forgave everyone but they don't stop I think they hate America and Jesus or something crazy times we living in
@FarmerFpv Wrong, nothing set up as a trap, even tire spikes, are legal on private property. Look it up, you have the ability to verify thay traps are always illegal no matter the type, you just choose not to because then you'll have to admit you are wrong.
I had people coming up my private drive then they torched a old car i had . So i put hidden pot holes in with rebat spikes in them so far i see where 8 different people got flats on my drive and had too change tires . Works like a charm
ROB myself as well as my son are welders. We live in the Tahlequah area. We can get you fixed up quickly to stop all trespassing. Fixed and flip gates would stop trespassing. You can set up an electric gate with remote for around a grand. And place one way flip gate you drive over. Uou can lock the gates when you're not using them. And have a pressure plate to open the gates. Once through, just lock the gate back. Signs with "cameras in use" works well too.
Rob, don't forget you're in Texas. Purple paint legally counts the same as a "No Trespassing" sign. Get a few cans or a few gallons of bright purple paint and spray/paint a foot long section on fence posts and even paint any gates you might have. There is no saying "I didn't see a sign" if you have several marked fence posts and purple gates. I work in law enforcement and have also seen people paint rocks and space them out along the property line. It all counts.
@LunkersTV good question about OK lol. Texas is better so that's all I know 😂. (after a quick google search it doesn't appear that OK has the same law)
@@LunkersTV Purple paint originated in Missouri and has since spread to 15 states. Oklahoma is not on that list and purple paint does not hold law for "No Trespassing". However OK did pass HB 1135 which removed all requirement for No Trespassing signs. Which means, if you not allowed, your trespassing. There are exceptions, so read up.
Some people's misfortune with the rough weather was your blessing. Great to see it filled up. Can't wait to see in the flooded woods. Don't blame you for the "spike strips". People have no respect for others now, much less their property.
In Brazil, if you put spikes above your wall (fence) and the robber gets hurt by trying to jump your wall, you can get sued... If you shoot someone trying to break in you house, you can be arrested... Country full of jokes when the matter is home defense.
@@Takao84 Not much anymore. We aren't any better than the rest of the world anymore. Depends on the cop, judge, and lawyer. Freedom varies depending on your income and popularity. Its really bad now
If you can get their license plates, it would be great to get their address from the DMV somehow, and mail them a picture of them trespassing on your property.
Need to bring ur ass bro! Lol I know florida is pretty badass too, but us Texans need some more folks like you moving in to offset the blue haired Californians moving in
Hope you checked with a lawyer first before putting in any of those traps because I know in states I have lived in, it's illegal for you to do that and are liable for any damages regardless if they are trespassers...
Im in Arkansas on 68 acres with 2 lakes and we have had the same issues, duck, geese and deer poachers also pecan thieves. Also illegal dumping its taken us several years to g3t most of it stopped.
Did the same with a 2 by 6 and a 100 16 penny nails a 1/2 mile off road behind farm and neighbors farm . After several different people told me then seen a truck go by with great big flat off road mudder tires. He went about 15 miles back to town on ruined tires. And it was all because I was working 10 hr days 7 days a week in a foundry getting home at 2:30 AM , asleep by 3:AM and headlights shining in back bedroom at 3:15AM. They had drove in on neighbors farm tearing fields up and woke me up leaving.
Glad you’re back you’re one of my favorite TH-camrs you and John B are two of the best. Love it when you guys get together, but I also love each of you guys content. Thank you. It clears my brain when I watch this I get away.
If anyone walking is injured by your “ booby trap,” trespassing or not you will be liable and can be sued for damages. If a person wanders onto the property in the dark and has no flashlight, they may be disoriented and or lost, and then suddenly they find a spike through their foot. Consider this a warning, it is illegal to set booby traps, even on your own property. Word to the wise, don’t do it!
I used to work for a company building crash proof barriers. Had to install and fix some of those Tire Spike strips at BWI airport. People in rental cars be going over the Spike strip at like 45+ mph entering the parking lot. Eventually some of the spikes bend over time and keep them from retracting via spring pressure. About every six months we'd have to go bend them back again, cut and weld new spikes if some were damaged enough. Fun times.
Reminds me of a joke: farmer puts up a sign saying "one of these melons is poisoned" came bake a few days later and someone had written "now it's two" underneath.
My dad did this to some high school kids that kept using the front yard as a place to do doughnuts. And that was the day we found out that it was very illegal. Id recommend you pull back on this unless you want some legal issues in your future.
Finally I have returned to LunkersTV after a bit of a break from the TH-cam. Man have I missed out on some stuff, I'd love to be down there helping trespass proof your property.. trespassers would have 'nam like flashbacks for years after the things we could build...LMAO!
Some homeowners believe that they can set booby traps in advance to injure someone who potentially breaks into the house or trespasses on their property. However, doing so is illegal under U.S. law.
I think you made a good choice with the Bermuda grass as I used to work for an amusement park in California and that type of grass was the worst thing to find in the park because of the root system, it's basically a weed that the parks don't want because during the dormant period it turns brown and they don't like that they want a grass that stays green. But for your application it should work great.
Is there a spot to turn around? A cable gate is also a good option. The idea of the tire damage signs was an excellent idea. I a world a burglar can sue the homeowner if they break a leg inside your home.
I put buried nail boards on back dirt road to my property. Just 16d nails nailed thru some boards and just barely buried to hide. Week later I go back and at the nail boards there was a tire. Ha, I got one! They had to change out the tire and just left the flatten tire. Also put hidden nail boards around my cabin. That was not recommended cause I forgot where a few were and I stepped on a few. After that I had to shuffle my feet to avoid my own traps.
Sheet of 1/2 exterior grade plywood and a couple coil roals of 2 1/2" roofing nails. Load it full and put a dusting of dirt on top. That's what we would do at our construction sites on each side of the locked gate. Works great for trespassers.
Completely understand why you are doing this. My only concern is if you invite friends or family and they drive around and either you forget to warn them or they forget while driving and accidentally pop their tires. Same goes for any workers you may have out there for future projects/repairs. Just something to consider and make sure you don’t forget about them!
Had some knothead teenagers that thought it was fun to drive into the bar ditches around here including mine So pieces of 3/4" plywood roughly 18"x8" with 2.5" deck screws put into the plywood at an angle that is impossible to not bury some of them into your tired. Since they has all of the ones they liked to dip into, and get sideways until they brought the one side back onto the road. They all had deep ruts standing in water, and i went around talked to everyone who was on their route, and explained exactly what I was doing. Not even the Precher at the little community Baptist church had a problem with my methods. I also put a piece of 3/8" rebar in from the top with a right angle bent into it about 2", the piece that is used to anchor the plywood to the bottom of ruts is 12" long. I simply took my boot, after I has it picked to the level of the muddy water by hand, and applied just enough pressure to get it to the bottom. And with one aimed each way at the opposite end of each rut, because they had started going in one end when they were headed towards town, and later when they came back they'd drop off for a little fun. What finally pushed me over the edge was the two mailboxes they used a 2x4 on, and they got the church, as well as the preacher's home. My standard black mailbox that you get at any hardware store wasn't expensive, but the reflective letters and numbers on each side were very expensive especially when to mark both sides 3 times That's 7 packages of those, because they busted two destroyed beyond repair. Well number has a piece of 8" schedule 80 chill water pipe fabricated to hug the radius and straight parts of the mailbox, and a piece of 1/4" plate cut to fit front to back snugly They made the mistake of trying twice to knock it off the new pole it sits on that's 3"x 6'x 3/8" wall welded to bolts up through the bottom of the mailbox, and cut flush with the thin lock nuts i cut in half so they didn't interfere with mail lady putting mail on inside or removing what i sent out. The 3' long 2x4's the passenger decided was his weapon of choice, was found both times a short distance back towards my fence with white paint on the corner of each one. Mailbox messed up two numbers that I had to replace . How do I know all of this information Game gamers with full HD video both day and night attached to the big cedar tree just inside my gate. Makes excellent videos thdt😢i have the ability to slow down zoom in on anything on the videos So I knew exactly who was doing it after the first mailbox. The message I sent to them both personally through the agg teacher at their hs Kindly showed them a video with both their smiling faces, tag on his truck, and informed them that one more time not only was he going to have to buy another set of tires for his truck. They were going to meet the sheriff deputy down the road. But the uses investigators for destruction of postal property, and the deputy for damages to private property under $500.00 Funny after that they never did something but idle through our quiet county back roads
years ago, there was a camp on Lake Ontario that was broken into. it happened so often the owner rigged a crossbow when they broke the door down the arrow killed him. the law sent the owner to jail for premeditated murder.
a burglar fell from a skylight over the kitchen onto knives and cut himself.. he then sued the homeowner and won.. posted crackhead traps.. Risky business.. trusting the cops... EVEN Riskier...
See in Florida we use to have our buddies go sit in the woods and wait every chance they got to catch ‘em and what camera are you using the video is so clear and accurate
Please let me buy you a pack of Philips TIPS for your screw gun..... We are here listening to you strip those screws and tips..... 🤣😂🤣😂 Love what your doing. I had to do a similar thing on my florida property.
Legal Fact: IF a property owner sets a boogie trap on their property and it causes either property damage or bodily injury YOU, the property owner, are liable. It doesn't matter how or why the trespasser enters your property. The property owner may be criminally charged. The ONLY things you can do is alarm, fence, gate, post the property, capture photographic evidence, obtain eye witness affidavits, or have the trespassers arrested on sight. I realize this is disappointing news to all the former Viet Cong posting on here and to anyone who has dealt with trespassers (I have on a large family farm) but these are the facts. Consult an attorney, your local district attorney, or a criminal judge, before ou act in this manner.
In Texas, setting up booby traps is generally illegal, especially if they are designed to cause serious injury or death. According to Texas law, you can use devices to protect your property, but these devices must not be intended to cause, or known to create a substantial risk of causing, death or serious bodily injury. The use of such devices must also be reasonable under the circumstances as you believe them to be when installing them. For example, setting up a spring-loaded firearm or other lethal traps would be illegal. However, non-lethal deterrents that do not pose a significant risk of serious injury might be permissible.
@@MegsAdventuresPhotosVideosArt Using a spike or nail is illegal. You are assuming all the risk if a person damages or wrecks their vehicle as a result. It gets much worse if a trespasser is injured then YOU are screwed. Just because a person owns property that does not allow them the freedom to do as they wish re trespassers. Better to consult with someone in advance and I'm not talking about some idiot in a local sheriff's / police / DA's office.
MAYBE IT HAS TO BE IN SPANISH OR PICTURES AS MOST PEOPLE NOWADAYS CANNOT READ ENGLISH OR AT ALL... SAD BUT TRUE.... GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES GODSPEED (I AM AN OLD BLIND FART ,HENCE THE CAPS LOCK)
I did the same thing at the mall next to me that had drift drivers on Friday and Saturday night. I would lay the roofing nails along the yellow parking stripes so I could pick them up later. When I heard them down there I would go over to watch the show. The sparks the nails would throw off when stuck in the tires was awesome. It is amazing how many kids dont know how to change a tire on their cars. In the morning I would take my magnetic roller and pick up the nails before the businesses opened. It got rid of them. with an occasional retreatment every now and then.
Too bad you weren't home when you got notified of them being there... after all you are a sniper + a hunter = snipe hunter👍 The only issue I can see happening is that you will be the 1 with the flat tires.... cuz that is how your luck is 😂 I wouldn't have warned them of anything, it's your property and you have signs up!! 🇺🇸
The term "Sniper" originates from hunting Snipe in the days of British Raj in India. Hunters would shoot them at very long distances, which was an incredible achievement considering the rifles at that time (black powder muzzle loaders with open sights), the fact that Snipe aren't very big, they're very skittish and extremely well camouflaged in their natural environment.
I hope you don't catch a frivolous lawsuit. Courts can be ridiculous. My grandma's neighbor was sued when teenage neighbors rode their motorcycles through her yard and got injured.
Hi mate, you're doing the right things. But just use a thicker timber with 3inch nails on angles and upright and also drill a small hole to peg the timber to the ground. Good luck
Rob , why not put up fence/ Gates at entrance to the property? With no trespassing signs. And i would have the farmer plant wheat aroynd the pond to establish a root base and plant grass seed also. Just a thought because it did so well on your food plot.
We put a dock in on our property to put in the river. We bought a concrete ramp that was on poles that allowed it to roll into the river. Ck it out it is awesome. Any concrete company can point the right way
@7:56 I think you need a new Philips bit lol. But good on you protect your property! Anyone that thinks this is too much hasn’t owned property. I personally wouldn’t have even gave that much warning lol. I’d say one at the entrance and another 50 yards in, both clearly visible, is plenty.
This was the first time I watched your video. But it won't be the last. I think that you have every right to protect your family and your land from trespassers. As well as your animals and even livestock, etc. Much love peace and blessings to you and your family. 💋❤️💐🙏✝️👍💯
I have the same problem on our property in TN. I have thought about doing something similar. I worry about our deer population and other animals. Also, if one of our animals gets loose. I'm still thinking about it. We have had a lot of damage on our property.
I WAS the caretaker of a private piece of land that was between 2 lakes in minnesota back in the 1980's. one time i came home to find a restored antique car parked in my driveway within 50 feet of my home. he and the guy with him acted like they wanted to bow up when i told them that i had their car towed. when they started to get mouthy and act like they were going to get froggy, i pulled back my coat to show them that i was well armed, that shut them up really fast!! being a psychopath covered in white racist tats, long beard etc... i would have had no problem with composting them!

I think you made a good choice with the Bermuda grass as I used to work for an amusement park in California and that type of grass was the worst thing to find in the park because of the root system, it's basically a weed that the parks don't want because during the dormant period it turns brown and they don't like that they want a grass that stays green. But for your application it should work great.
Looks like Rye grass....usually mixed in because it sprouts easy and holds soil for other grass seeds to germinate...
Is there a spot to turn around?
A cable gate is also a good option.
The idea of the tire damage signs was an excellent idea. I a world a burglar can sue the homeowner if they break a leg inside your home.
I put buried nail boards on back dirt road to my property. Just 16d nails nailed thru some boards and just barely buried to hide. Week later I go back and at the nail boards there was a tire. Ha, I got one! They had to change out the tire and just left the flatten tire. Also put hidden nail boards around my cabin. That was not recommended cause I forgot where a few were and I stepped on a few. After that I had to shuffle my feet to avoid my own traps.
Sheet of 1/2 exterior grade plywood and a couple coil roals of 2 1/2" roofing nails. Load it full and put a dusting of dirt on top. That's what we would do at our construction sites on each side of the locked gate. Works great for trespassers.
Gett'em Rob. We have 1000 acres in May, TX. We did the same thing years ago. Most of these trespasser's use a teeth brush & not a tooth brush. LOL
Completely understand why you are doing this. My only concern is if you invite friends or family and they drive around and either you forget to warn them or they forget while driving and accidentally pop their tires. Same goes for any workers you may have out there for future projects/repairs. Just something to consider and make sure you don’t forget about them!
Why do support trespassers?
hey from Dublin ,
great to see you getting on with it . the pad looks sweet , that lake though , super .
living the dream Rob ,
be safe
Put one up saying, smile your in range 😂🎯
Had some knothead teenagers that thought it was fun to drive into the bar ditches around here including mine
So pieces of 3/4" plywood roughly 18"x8" with 2.5" deck screws put into the plywood at an angle that is impossible to not bury some of them into your tired.
Since they has all of the ones they liked to dip into, and get sideways until they brought the one side back onto the road.
They all had deep ruts standing in water, and i went around talked to everyone who was on their route, and explained exactly what I was doing.
Not even the Precher at the little community Baptist church had a problem with my methods.
I also put a piece of 3/8" rebar in from the top with a right angle bent into it about 2", the piece that is used to anchor the plywood to the bottom of ruts is 12" long.
I simply took my boot, after I has it picked to the level of the muddy water by hand, and applied just enough pressure to get it to the bottom.
And with one aimed each way at the opposite end of each rut, because they had started going in one end when they were headed towards town, and later when they came back they'd drop off for a little fun.
What finally pushed me over the edge was the two mailboxes they used a 2x4 on, and they got the church, as well as the preacher's home.
My standard black mailbox that you get at any hardware store wasn't expensive, but the reflective letters and numbers on each side were very expensive especially when to mark both sides 3 times
That's 7 packages of those, because they busted two destroyed beyond repair.
Well number has a piece of 8" schedule 80 chill water pipe fabricated to hug the radius and straight parts of the mailbox, and a piece of 1/4" plate cut to fit front to back snugly
They made the mistake of trying twice to knock it off the new pole it sits on that's 3"x 6'x 3/8" wall welded to bolts up through the bottom of the mailbox, and cut flush with the thin lock nuts i cut in half so they didn't interfere with mail lady putting mail on inside or removing what i sent out.
The 3' long 2x4's the passenger decided was his weapon of choice, was found both times a short distance back towards my fence with white paint on the corner of each one.
Mailbox messed up two numbers that I had to replace .
How do I know all of this information
Game gamers with full HD video both day and night attached to the big cedar tree just inside my gate.
Makes excellent videos thdt😢i have the ability to slow down zoom in on anything on the videos
So I knew exactly who was doing it after the first mailbox.
The message I sent to them both personally through the agg teacher at their hs
Kindly showed them a video with both their smiling faces, tag on his truck, and informed them that one more time not only was he going to have to buy another set of tires for his truck.
They were going to meet the sheriff deputy down the road.
But the uses investigators for destruction of postal property, and the deputy for damages to private property under $500.00
Funny after that they never did something but idle through our quiet county back roads
Blessings!!!!, very excited to have my own place Lord's willing 🙌 🙏 happy for you and yours!!!
Make up a sign that says: property owned by a sniper. Get out of my crosshairs.
guns here come look
Youll go to jail, but good try.
Great sign
years ago, there was a camp on Lake Ontario that was broken into. it happened so often the owner rigged a crossbow when they broke the door down the arrow killed him. the law sent the owner to jail for premeditated murder.
I like the spike strips, but why not put up a heavy duty, lockable gate at property entrances?
It’d be near to dig a ditch so front wheels would drop in and they’d have to get a tow truck. 😂
a burglar fell from a skylight over the kitchen onto knives and cut himself.. he then sued the homeowner and won..
posted crackhead traps.. Risky business.. trusting the cops... EVEN Riskier...
See in Florida we use to have our buddies go sit in the woods and wait every chance they got to catch ‘em and what camera are you using the video is so clear and accurate
Late to the party but the garage and house are sweeet! You can fit a massive two post lift if you want to work on your own rigs there.
White clover is relatively drought tolerant, fast to cover and resilient. Maybe mix some with your grass seed.
Please let me buy you a pack of Philips TIPS for your screw gun..... We are here listening to you strip those screws and tips..... 🤣😂🤣😂 Love what your doing. I had to do a similar thing on my florida property.
Yess I was thinking the same thing....
@@BOAExplore can't wait to see what he catches on camera
Legal Fact: IF a property owner sets a boogie trap on their property and it causes either property damage or bodily injury YOU, the property owner, are liable. It doesn't matter how or why the trespasser enters your property. The property owner may be criminally charged. The ONLY things you can do is alarm, fence, gate, post the property, capture photographic evidence, obtain eye witness affidavits, or have the trespassers arrested on sight. I realize this is disappointing news to all the former Viet Cong posting on here and to anyone who has dealt with trespassers (I have on a large family farm) but these are the facts. Consult an attorney, your local district attorney, or a criminal judge, before ou act in this manner.
In Texas, setting up booby traps is generally illegal, especially if they are designed to cause serious injury or death. According to Texas law, you can use devices to protect your property, but these devices must not be intended to cause, or known to create a substantial risk of causing, death or serious bodily injury. The use of such devices must also be reasonable under the circumstances as you believe them to be when installing them.
For example, setting up a spring-loaded firearm or other lethal traps would be illegal. However, non-lethal deterrents that do not pose a significant risk of serious injury might be permissible.
@@MegsAdventuresPhotosVideosArt Using a spike or nail is illegal. You are assuming all the risk if a person damages or wrecks their vehicle as a result. It gets much worse if a trespasser is injured then YOU are screwed. Just because a person owns property that does not allow them the freedom to do as they wish re trespassers. Better to consult with someone in advance and I'm not talking about some idiot in a local sheriff's / police / DA's office.
MAYBE IT HAS TO BE IN SPANISH OR PICTURES AS MOST PEOPLE NOWADAYS CANNOT READ ENGLISH OR AT ALL...
SAD BUT TRUE....
GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR LOVED ONES

People are just too lazy to read. Try selling something on marketplace!
I know it’s too late but you really should have put overhangs in your shop. It’s really beneficial for rain runoff
I did the same thing at the mall next to me that had drift drivers on Friday and Saturday night. I would lay the roofing nails along the yellow parking stripes so I could pick them up later. When I heard them down there I would go over to watch the show. The sparks the nails would throw off when stuck in the tires was awesome. It is amazing how many kids dont know how to change a tire on their cars. In the morning I would take my magnetic roller and pick up the nails before the businesses opened. It got rid of them. with an occasional retreatment every now and then.
Thought you were going to put out toe poppers 😂
Please set up multiple cameras on that board 😂
Whoever invented those tailgate workbenches is a f***** genius who deserves a million dollars at least as a bonus.
Rob, the Lake looks awesome. 👊🏼
I love this. They shouldnt trespass. Honestly I think you are being too nice with the signs
I have missed Rob, glad I'm back.
Too bad you weren't home when you got notified of them being there... after all you are a sniper + a hunter = snipe hunter👍
The only issue I can see happening is that you will be the 1 with the flat tires.... cuz that is how your luck is 😂 I wouldn't have warned them of anything, it's your property and you have signs up!! 🇺🇸
The term "Sniper" originates from hunting Snipe in the days of British Raj in India. Hunters would shoot them at very long distances, which was an incredible achievement considering the rifles at that time (black powder muzzle loaders with open sights), the fact that Snipe aren't very big, they're very skittish and extremely well camouflaged in their natural environment.
I love it. Wish I was closer I’d help ya create some epic deterrents 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
I hope you don't catch a frivolous lawsuit. Courts can be ridiculous. My grandma's neighbor was sued when teenage neighbors rode their motorcycles through her yard and got injured.
You should look into what the locals do during the Baja 2000!!! Those hidden logs can work too!!
I used to work with several ranchers that did that to deter trespassing. Its called, "making the road bite".
That's not a lake, it's a pond! 😂
Downsizing and getting rid of material crap that we don't really need is one of the best feelings.
Probably the rain washed your seeds away and birds, re seed then throw straw over it so seeds have a chance to grow 😊😊😊😊😊
Hi mate, you're doing the right things. But just use a thicker timber with 3inch nails on angles and upright and also drill a small hole to peg the timber to the ground. Good luck
Rob , why not put up fence/ Gates at entrance to the property? With no trespassing signs.
And i would have the farmer plant wheat aroynd the pond to establish a root base and plant grass seed also. Just a thought because it did so well on your food plot.
Because what fun is that?? Making people stranded, pissing people off, and then making them fork out money.
Gabe is the man!!!
We put a dock in on our property to put in the river. We bought a concrete ramp that was on poles that allowed it to roll into the river. Ck it out it is awesome. Any concrete company can point the right way
It's your property, protect it. I had a bunch of stuff stolen from a locked storage unit. So NAIL it to them!
Up next,
Rob builds a pressure plate
Loved the video, just subscribed ❤
@7:56 I think you need a new Philips bit lol. But good on you protect your property! Anyone that thinks this is too much hasn’t owned property. I personally wouldn’t have even gave that much warning lol. I’d say one at the entrance and another 50 yards in, both clearly visible, is plenty.
This was the first time I watched your video. But it won't be the last. I think that you have every right to protect your family and your land from trespassers. As well as your animals and even livestock, etc. Much love peace and blessings to you and your family. 💋❤️💐🙏✝️👍💯
It's honestly wild people have the balls to drive around on private land with a rifle poaching.
Also one of the signs should be "got ya"
This video should be “ how to catch a crackhead” 😂❤
SPEAK THE TRUTH!!! The stream wants you back as Matt's Co-Host!!
Wine corks with finish nails 💅 work real good . I know because i use them, no more uninvited guest .
Man I love your toolbox set up on your truck. Nice 👍
County Attorney said to put up a sign that says "Tire Destruction Devices in place on property"
I have the same problem on our property in TN. I have thought about doing something similar. I worry about our deer population and other animals. Also, if one of our animals gets loose. I'm still thinking about it. We have had a lot of damage on our property.
Rich people problems
I WAS the caretaker of a private piece of land that was between 2 lakes in minnesota back in the 1980's. one time i came home to find a restored antique car parked in my driveway within 50 feet of my home. he and the guy with him acted like they wanted to bow up when i told them that i had their car towed. when they started to get mouthy and act like they were going to get froggy, i pulled back my coat to show them that i was well armed, that shut them up really fast!!
being a psychopath covered in white racist tats, long beard etc... i would have had no problem with composting them!
lol can’t wait for the next video titled “my new pet crackhead I caught”
