Bit of a click bate title the land wasn’t leased so therefore they’re not poachers

[slygun]

Go detect RIGHT NEXT TO HIM while someone else hangs out next to his vehicle

[mpmp]

I never understand why they find a piece and leave the spot to brag about it. Stay and look for more and you wont lose your spot.

[Nobody-Nowhere-USA]

Amazing how a hand full of BB’s would have ruined the poachers day!

[lonpearson]

The commercial fisherman on the Columbia River, used a technique called “corking” on other fisherman. By scanning the potential harvest location and placing one’s nets in a strategic location, one could affectively mitigate access to the fisherman who is late to the party.
Same thing could be used on other folks moving in on a location. By plotting their potential course and keeping just a bit ahead of them, you could possibly shut them out of some of the area..

I like to pick mushrooms and very often there will be other people there.. so deal with it or go somewhere else

[robertwolfe]

If it's pending ground.He's not poaching.

[HappyEatsWithDave]

NO WAY NOT ME I would have put Mom on one corner dad at the other and me in the middle and squeeze them into a small search

[johnmech]

Now she can afford a new pair of jeans

[slygun]

They left? Where is your community? Call I’m YOUR backup. Are you new to this because they just taught you a lesson.

[daddyandsonsadventures]

I would detect at the side of the other people like as the side of them

[neilstleon]

Anyone who is respectful to the bushland and Nature has the right to do some honest prospecting. Nobody OWNS the land unless they pay for it. Nobody should really be allowed to peg out huge leases of land!

[GatorMike]

Sorry but if it's open to the public or whatever and you leave that spot, it's fair game. Should have carried some walkie talkies with you so you could have called them to you.

[donaldvane]

if she didnt run off to show her father she wouldnt have lost her spot. also why are they being called poachers if they are not doing anything wrong?

[malcolmellis]

putting those folk on the dog list wasn't fair..for all these folk know the others were there yesterday n came back to their patch...anyway..if they walked 100 yards the other way they may have the brick ..pity...I'd taken a shine to this crew

[jamesmalloy]

Australia different weight on ounces.? 0z is 28 grams…

[alpeterson]

Not really a poacher though, if he’s there legally.

[michaelfish]

people doing exactly what we are doing better have a cry
big sooks

[TCool-into]

They should have quit complaining when they were on public land and kept on it

[jameshuneycutt]

It was her own stupidity. She should have never left to show what she found, she should have stayed kept going until the end of the day, move your feet loose your spot
