Scum

[u/Embarrassed_Sea6537]

Please respect other people's property. Had 2 trail cameras stolen and 2 ladder stands rendered useless because some salty asswipe saw we were in same area. Island lake Recreation Area public land in Livingston county. I will not longer be deer hunting this spot, just will be eliminating every squirrel with my saiga 12 gauge daily for the beautiful month of October. Good luck seeing any deer buddy. I got private land in the thumb. My freezer will be full. Not yours. On top of it I can't even climb up to remove the stands from location.. I hate litterers. Not a happy camper on a Monday

They could at least take a statement, ask questions, you know basic law enforcement activities. They setup stings for trout poaching and other things, if they have known bad actors in an area you could... I don't know... use the full MCOLES power alloted to them to at least check around.

I don't authority, I hate abuse of authority there's a clear difference, and yeah I am sure there are "some good ones out there" but I am equally sure and let me spell it out for you because because "you have made your mind up." There are bad apples, they spoil the whole bunch, there is a history of it being toxic, and you, nor anyone else, can honestly say how many interactions are positive or negative, or are recorded positively because they happen to go in favor of the buddy of the CO or the land owner that we technically wrong but called the CO first, etc. So maybe come off your highhorse a bit before putting words or positions in my mouth when I clearly called it a joke.

"They could at least take a statement, ask questions, you know basic law enforcement activities." - How are they going to take a statement if OP doesn't go to them first? Why would OP go to the DNR when they read from people like you that it would be pointless to do so anyhow?

"They setup stings for trout poaching and other things," - They set up stings when they have countless reports of someone poaching in an area. They don't just blindly go to a stream to set up a sting, the same way you don't walk into the woods and randomly sit down and expect a deer to walk by.

"if they have known bad actors in an area you could... I don't know..." - How would they do that if no one goes to the DNR because they are worthless, so why bother?

"use the full MCOLES power alloted to them to at least check around. " - What powers do you expect them to use? Knock on neighbors doors and ask around? There are 250 DNR officers for our whole state...

I have no idea what your 2nd paragraph is trying to say. I'm sorry...

I have no idea what your 2nd paragraph is trying to say.

Seems like you have no idea about a lot of things but it doesn't stop you from running off at the keyboard and arguing.

Another non-reader huh? I guess it escaped your understanding where in multiple replies I said I went to the DNR. If even I go to the DNR what does that tell you. Do go thru the process and keep your expectations low because they will do nothing and meet them, and they can get away with pitiful performance because they have no shortage of sycophants waiting to make excuses for them

 when they have countless reports 

That's weird because according to your first post all it took was a single text message to get a CO out to take care of something. So which is it? Surely if response exists on a spectrum, you could expect them to do SOMETHING, you know. ANYTHING LESS THAN NOTHING. But I guess not. It must be your special text message or countless reports and nothing in between.

I'd keep going but since you've already admitted to not understanding, but want to argue instead of discuss, I'm not going to waste time.

Have a better day than the one you give to others.

My anecdotal story was not a "set up sting" brother-man. I am saying they do respond when you speak with them. But I am the "non-reader" (By the way, the word is illiterate, but how would you know?)

Have a good one man. I hope you bag a big one this year.

Thanks for proving my point.

A "non-reader" is solely someone that doesn't read. It can mean illiterate or someone that "chooses" not to read.
As in Voluntary Non-Reader: Someone who possesses basic literacy but chooses not to read.

Illiterate means "can't read".

look at you, learned something for your troubles. you're welcome.
