Second to the last weekend of our general season I took my soon to be SIL and my son on a place I have permission to hunt. The rancher also lets a few other people hunt as well. After we arrived and were half way to our listening spot I heard a truck drive up. We were the first in the parking area but this place is pretty big and there is room to roam. My son headed after a couple gobbling turkeys while Jason and I went after another group. You could hear 30+ turkeys from our listening spot. So there was enough turkeys to go around. My son ended up killing a turkey and headed back to the truck. Where Jason and I were at there was no cell service so we couldn't communicate to each other what was going on. Jason and I worked a gobbler for several hours and had him at 60 yards and coming when 3 Jakes decided to run the gobbler off. Dang it I hate when that happens. So we headed out to my truck. Since I have a company car to drive, and they pay for my gas, I don't drive my pickup much. When we got back the other guys truck was still there but my son was gone. Me and Jason threw everything in the truck and headed out. We only got a few yards down the road and I could tell we had a flat tire. So we got out and I had the young buck do most of the changing and we were on our way. Unbenounced to me Jason took my tire to get it fixed, thinking he was just going to plug it for less than 10 bucks. When the tire guy checked it he came back and told Jason that somebody had slashed my tire and it was not fixable. There was a 3/4" wide cut in the tire where somebody took a knife and run it into the tire. I guess the other guy was not happy that some other hunters was hunting and killing turkeys where he had permission to hunt. I can't even contemplate that type of thinking. Hopefully we don't run into each other next year. He could end up having a real bad day.

Congrats on your son's turkey.. Sorry for the haters! In the end they will get there's. Carma is a .......
If that happend to me u best believe I would be going back to that area and draining the oil out of his truck while he was hunting. Payback is a xxxxx. I would go there everyday I could just to see if hes there. But that's just me. I'm just that kinda person where someone does something to me or family or property. they will get it 10 times worse.
That's sucks someone did this. I hope u get him.
That's some serious boo-sheet right there. I come unglued over crap like that.

Amen, I am the same way
people are unreal and i thought pa was bad
What in the world? That is ridiculous. About the only reason I can see for slicing someone's tire is if they were a poacher and I wanted to stop them from escaping. I think I would give the ranch owner who gave you the permission a head's up phone call.
I would certainly speak to the land owner.

Sounds similar. Had all 4 of my tires slashed at once by a trespasser I caught last year. I was turkey hunting, he was mushroom hunting. Needless to say...I'm still looking for that Jeep Grand Cherokee!
That sucks Joe!
there are all kinds in this world karma monkey will get him.
That's terrible! Congrats on your sons Tom.
Haters gonna hate. I wouldn't dare stoop to their level, karma on the other hand is a son of gun....
Pass that info on to the land owner. I'm sure he'd like to know that someone he's letting hunt his property is vandalizing vehicles. Could be a trespasser.

Congrats!!! It's a shame that someone would stoop that low.
That stinks Joe. I agree with contacting the land owner. He might know who that weasel is and take care of the problem. Retaliation is the first thing that comes to mind but could worsen the problem. Hopefully the end result will be in your favor. Also congrats to your son on his bird.
set you a game camera out next time you go there
Man that sux. I agree with contacting the land owner but...I'm a vindictive son of a gun when it comes to my family or my property. That fella would better hope karma got ahold of him before I did. And I'm a peace lovin kinda guy ;D
Congrats on your son's gobbler too!
I would calmly call the land owner and inform him of what took place. I let a land owner know once that his neighbor was vandalizing my stands and stole a trail cam. I honestly told him that I enjoyed hunting his place but wouldn't be back if my stuff wasn't staff. he was 50X madder than me about it and gave that guy a serious talk.
This whole unsavory scenario makes me wonder what each of us would do if we happened upon somebody doing something like this? It would sure make a person want to take matters in to their own hands, but I suppose taking it to the authorities would be the prudent thing to do.
Unfortunately, with those types, they would probably get a slap on the hand,....but then you would have to be looking over your back for them all the time after that. It's just too bad there are people like that in this world,....and that we can't just take care of the problem ourselves.
Either way, that sucks, Joe!
Hey he has 4 tires on the ground and a spare. I would just loosen all 4 valve cores, (no property damage/legality) and let him walk. Or you could drain the oil....

Joe: A very polite call to the land owner with a nice description of the vehicle that was there when the incident happened might do the trick...and hopefully it wasn't one of the landowners relatives!
