I have posted signs and utilized the new purple paint law, yet people are still parking their vehicles on my property, and fishing along the creek bank that I own.
I have a problem with the "Bowfishing for Carp" picture and caption on the front page of the Oct. 9th Courier & Press.
Although the bridge might be public property, all the land surrounding the bridge is private property.
Where did those 30 people park? Where did Denny Simmons park to take that picture? There is no public parking near this bridge. I own a portion of the property along Little Pigeon Creek beside this bridge and I have been struggling to keep trespassers off my property because of the popularity of that bridge.
They don't stay on the bridge. The venture onto my property. ATV riders also trespass on my property regularly.
I have posted signs and utilized the new purple paint law to clearly mark that this is private property, yet people are still parking their vehicles on my property, and fishing/bowfishing along the creek bank that I own.
It is disappointing to see this on the front page of the Courier & Press and calling it a "hot spot for local bow fishermen," because it will most definitely attract more trespassers.
