Trespassing Hunter Beat Up Landowner, Sheriff Says

[TTravis]

I've had hunters and ATV riders try to throw me off my property in Kentucky***, until they saw I was well armed. She sheriff I spoke to in Muhlenberg County Kentucky said he could not even control his property. Unfortunately the story below is not all that uncommon.

Sick.

One of the reasons I walk my property with my M-4gery...

Sounds like 45 year old Stevei Daniels needs a dose of Kentucky Justice.

I'd hate to hear he choked on it.

If that Sheriff was Mayhugh, it's because he owns about a quarter of the county- kind of hard to keep that under control

The rest of the county has been taken by Mr. Peabody's coal train. (It's actually now taken by the National Guard)

To the story though- a 73 year old man! Come on people! It's incredible what people will do on property that's not their own. Last year me and some friends were tracking a deer one morning that I had shot the evening before. All the sudden a guy busts up in there with his kids and goes crazy. We're fairly certain he would have tried something on us if we weren't armed. He told us not to come back and everything settled down. We got in touch with the actual land-owner of that property and he said he had no idea who that guy could have been!

Yes it was Mayhugh. It was several years ago. I think he left to consult for some movie and then came back and got re-elected sheriff again. He is one tough dude and it got my attention when he said he couldn't even keep people off his land. Big problem with meth down there and I found remains of a meth lab on my property. I was impressed because he took time to talk to us. The previous sheriff wouldn't make time for us. I would like to know the name of that movie. Something about a murder down that way.

A common trick is that people will say they own the property (my property). A GPS and google earth picture helps with that argument.

If you know that area, you probably heard of Merl Travis, my grandfather's cousin.

Really sad that some guy would beat up a old man. Really hope he gets what he should have coming to him.

 

[abnk]

It's a shame people don't have more respect for others' property.

 

[raggedoutcummins77]

sounds like he needs a dose of Kentucky Justice.like arm america said

 

[J_Wales]

Friggin thugs are everywhere.

Be ready.

Be armed.

 

[Titanium Man]

Don't you know, your property is everyone else's property. Geez, my neighbors wife said their property was 2 foot on ours. I showed her the true property markers, and hasn't spoken to me in 7 years. People are pathetic.

 

[Black_Wolf]

Shoot him.

POS needs it.

 

[Uconas]

unreal, all they had to do is ask for permission. i hope they throw the book at them

I was born and raised in Muhlenberg County and all my family still lives there. Meth is a real problem there (well, just about everywhere, but really bad there). There's a reason it's become known as "Methenberg", which is sad.

And, yep, I know of Merl! There's a convetion/music center named for him down there now.

 

[Chefcook]

The ultimate in disrespect, I hope that old man has a son or grandson to make this right...

My Great Grandfather's name was William Penrod and he established a farm there in the beginning of 1900's. The farm has been in our family for over 100 years. It is being overrun by ATV's from Gregory Lake which is nearby to the north. About half the land was stripped before my time, but now my father and I have controlling interest and we will not allow the rest to be mined. There are lots of deer, turkey, and even some quail there. My father was born in Beech Creek when my grandfather was a coal miner and lived in the company housing. My father went to a two room schoolhouse in Beech Creek. I make it down there about once a year. We don't mind people hunting or fishing if only they would respect the place. Lots of stories about my family there.

Interesting history! I think it's really cool of you and your Dad to allow people to hunt and fish there. Crying shame they won't respect the land/landowners.

So many People wonder why Landowners will not let them hunt...

Sounds like someone needs to disappear into an auger hole.
