i wouldnt worry until get served papers..
but do keep in mind, that now he has your plate # and the next time somebody comes out there at night and destorys his nice little seed patch and he doesnt catch the guy, he does have your plate #. and when people are pissed, the mentality is usually "somebody will pay for this!". also, ignorance of the law is NOT an excuse for breaking it. however, if you seem really really sincere about how sorry you are for having not thought about how somebody else might feel about your trespassing, most of the time they will go a little easy on you.
or, you can take the fine and go about your business...
in Louisiana, private property does NOT have to be marked as such. if you are on some property that doesnt belong to you, you are trespassing. period. and you can be prosecuted. and to the fella with the 4wheeler that keeps cutting my fence and letting my cows out. due to the fact that i call a fence company to come and fix my fence every time you cut it, it has now become criminal trespassing. a felony.
so, thats all just one rednecks opinion.
i would join a deer lease and go mudride there...
goog luck.

Every square inch of ground in this country belongs to someone. Whether it's private, state or federal. Best bet is to find some real crappy land in your area that no one can do anything with and get with some of your other mud boggin' buddies and lease it or buy it.

Well, yea that does suck for him to have my license plate number, cause if somebody else tears it up and they don't catch him, I get blamed for it, but what can a truck like mine do? Its got no lift, street tires, and the engine has plenty of miles on it, I barley left tracks on where I went. But I really appollagized first time I had done it and everybody told me my truck couldn't go through stuff that 4 wheel drives could, and I proved alot of them wrong, until I got stuck....lol but hey I won't ever go back there again...only legal grounds or w/e

The high tension power lines here are usually constructed over crown land and the power company are granted an easment . The only thing they own on the ground are the towers which one can be charged for messing with .
Many of our mudding runs are on these easments and quad trails etc. without any difficulty from the company . We even have a 28 mile mud run that is a competetive yearly event without any hassles .
nightowl_52 : When land is State or Federal Land that means it is your land the same as what we call Crown Land here . It belongs to the people who comprise the State or Country . Although the Gov. involved may impose restrictions on some areas of it for a determined use of some nature such as a park or military activity it still remains land that belongs to you and each and every one of your fellow countrymen . This is just one of the facts of a democratic country that more than enough of both our countrymen have given their lives to preserve .

I have never have figured how people feel it is a right to MUD on others property- public or private. Buy a tract of land and tear up your own backyard....Trespassing is just that- You don't own it. I seriously doubt anyone would want to seed anything all torn up....Nor would I seriously doubt they write down plates for something to do...
