Did I over react?

I live on a small lake. I was out fishing last weekend. I see a boat going really close to my shoreline. I then see one guy jump off the boat and run onto shore. I make my way over there and the guy was taking a dump on my shoreline. I was mad and went off the guy. Keep in mind this is a rural lake with only 2 or 3 houses on the whole lake. In my opinion he didn't need to go right by my house. The guy says that's what people do when they are hunting and fishing and that I should get over it. I was a little upset!

Thoughts?

The fact is he is trespassing just by being on your shoreline without permission, besides what he did when he was there. You did not over react. I would have done the same. Get the boat registration # for a TIP call, or a call to the sheriff, if it happens again. Seems like there are too many slobs out there.

This is too funny. I've seen people hang over the gunwall and let a floater go. Not sure which is worse.

If you don't want to deal with the authorities keep a paintball gun handy. Give him a few welts on his behind as he is running towards his boat with his pants around his ankles. I bet that'll teach him.

To answer your question I would say you under reacted.

I would've ended up in jail over that one...unreal how disrespectful some people are. I don't condone violence, but not sure I could have stopped myself from pounding on his melon if he didn't apologize and clean it up.

Eh. if it was right in front of your place like in your yard then yeah go off on the fella. In the woods, or down the shorline a ways, I would have had a good chuckle and just told them to stay off my land from now on.

Ziesmer, I think you deserve some votes towards sainthood. I go off when the guy leaving the access or pulling his kids behind the boat runs my line over when we try to fish from the dock (I'm not proud of it). We have a place on the lake and a lot of times I yell at the offenders saying "We are trying to enjoy the lake too". How hard is it to see someone fishing on a dock and give them a little room? It doesn't occur to them that anyone else is also trying to enjoy the lake. Some serious SARS syndrome folks out there. They really get an ear full if my kids are swimming and they drive right next to the dock. There should be a class that everyone takes called 'don't be a selfish A-hole'. Sorry last weekend got me a bit cranky with the inconsiderate boaters.

Minnesota Statutes: One who defecates on private land without permission of the owner is guilty of Terd Trespassing and subject to a suitable fine. Dumping without permission on private land is considered a Foul Felony. Squatting on anothers land is deemed illegal squatting and the squattor is subject to appropriate punishment. Shoreline squatting is grounds for spud gun blasting.

Note however: anyone who has consumed too many prunes; has eaten a bad greasy pizza or who has drank too many warm German beers is deemed to have an Elimination Emergency and is qualified to go where and when neccessary.

Some of the posts here suggest that anything short of the image below would be "under-reacting"

In seriousness... is the land posted? is it obviously private property there? You mentioned the lake is small/remoteish and has only a handful of homes on it... could this be a simple case of confusion?

If I were you I would have made a joke about it with the offender, and made sure he picked up after himself, and of course asked them kindly to find another place to do their biz.

Guess I would have got the numbers off the boat then found out his address and returned to him what he left behind wink

Seriously I would have called the Sherriff for trespass violations and also would have phoned the DNR.

      Problems with Yetti

      By rundrave · Posted

      got this tackled today took about 3 hours to get both sides done. Didnt even get to use a torch....   Thought I was golden with just jacking it up and I could get to everything but no luck. Had to remove the entire axle hub and brake assembly to get to what I needed. Was a pain but still better then taking off the entire pivot arm.    Axle bearings were already greased and in great shape thankfully. Got both leaf springs installed and its ready for the road again.   Probably going to have my electric brakes checked, I am not touching anything with the brake drums. Based on what I saw it doesn't look like my electric brakes have been working anyway. Brakes are nice to have if its slippery out

      It’s done automatically.  You might need an actual person to clear that log in stuff up.   Trash your laptop history if you haven’t tried that already.

      we had some nice weather yesterday and this conundrum was driving me crazy  so I drove up to the house to take another look. I got a bunch of goodies via ups yesterday (cables,  winch ratchet parts, handles, leaf springs etc).   I wanted to make sure the new leaf springs I got fit. I got everything laid out and ready to go. Will be busy this weekend with kids stuff and too cold to fish anyway, but I will try to get back up there again next weekend and get it done. I don't think it will be bad once I get it lifted up.    For anyone in the google verse, the leaf springs are 4 leafs and measure 25 1/4" eye  to eye per Yetti. I didnt want to pay their markup so just got something else comparable rated for the same weight.   I am a first time wheel house owner, this is all new to me. My house didn't come with any handles for the rear cables? I was told this week by someone in the industry that cordless drills do not have enough brake to lower it slow enough and it can damage the cables and the ratchets in the winches.  I put on a handle last night and it is 100% better than using a drill, unfortatenly I found out the hard way lol and will only use the ICNutz to raise the house now.
