East Texas? Not me. You could never be sure your stuff would be there when you return.
It can be as bad at the places I've hunted around
Pecos, Sweetwater, San Angelo, Freer, etc. etc.
A lot of people never notice that there's been
trespassing at their lease unless something is
missing they're looking for.
The one I hunted in Coke county had the oilfield
gaugers helping themselves to whatever game
they wanted since they had a gate key and knew
the place from one fence to another.
If you don't live on a place daily, I can guarantee
the neighbors all know when you come and go.
Many that hunt will trespass during the middle of
the week when you're not there. Many times it's
not the neighbors that pillage your goods, it's
their dopehead kids, or somebody that hunted
with them as their "guest "
One place I hunted, the lease "manager" that
handled the dealings with the land owner
had brought his brother-in-law for a Christmas
trip as a guest, and the brother-in-law just took
it upon hisself to come hunt whenever he
decided that he wanted to, and eventually
started bringing guests of his own even
though he wasn't a lease member.
Stuff happens everywhere, sometimes you
just don't see it happening
