Cell phone location or any other location device is not enough evidence to convict you. Your big mouth will though. If questioned, do not lie. Simply say "I am not going to make a statement". Then ask if you are being detained. If they say no then you say "I want you to leave" or if you are not on your property just walk away, get in your truck, and leave.

Once you say you are not going to make a statement, don't.

Your big mouth can certainly convict you and some officers will add their version of what you said.

This is one subject that I know whereof I speak.

No, it isn’t enough, but it is enough to put you in the time and place and to draw scrutiny. And when they dig that 6.5 bullet out of a tree and match it to the brand and lot of ammo you purchased before deer season at Academy, you will be schit out of luck. Or whatever else they figure out by looking at you a little closer and leaning on some of those around you.

You must assume with wolves these days that considerable resources will be brought to bear to find a killer. It will be more akin to a human murder investigation than something involving an animal. They’re the feds. They have unlimited money and unlimited resources.
