the poison arrows were just a hypothetical in my last post smile... I agree, anyone can get lost or be on private property innocently and that is why I could not use the spike strips. It might be my own boy hotrodding on the garden tractor and I may end up spiking my own tractor tires and spilling all the beet juice out of the tires smile

It is strange though how there seems so much legal precedence to protect the wellbeing of those who are in the act of doing something illegal.

I often wonder if my dog was the aggressive type and bit the guy who was sheepishly sneaking in and bucket stocking my pond, would I have been in a lot of trouble?
