Keep an eye out

Just saw this garbage on Facebook. Apparently was east of red deer by consort.

If that person was killed and the person who made this booby trap was caught murder charges would be in order. Booby traps are considered pre meditated Method of killing a person if they are effective I do believe. And even in this condition an attempted man slaughter charge would probably be enough to lock this idiot up. You know it's a local person that frequents this area. Thankfully he wasn't killed

OMG, I would hope it's not an environmental activist that did that!!! Not that it's any better, but I would think that it was likely done by a frustrated land owner in the area.

A year or two ago, someone strung wire across the trails at Hell's Half Acre shortly after a guy come on Snow and Mud threatening to do something drastic like that. Some of the fine folks on this site figured out who the guy was and reported it to the RCMP. Perhaps the person behind this wire left a trail of hate behind somewhere?

What if someone does this type of trap on their own private land?
Can that be legal to do?

On private land with the intent to harm, probably not. Single wire to keep animals near or on land probably, depends on how you spin it to the authorities I guess.

I cannot believe someone could do something like that.
What in the hell were they thinking.
Glad to see he wasn't killed!

There's tree's by consort?
Not a big picture but doesnt look like vegetation that grows in special areas.
Would suspect a land owner but none the less if the intent was harm very sick. Were the rc's called.

A person shouldn't have to do something on their private land, if they are having enough problems that they resort to that then there is a much bigger issue to deal with. Anyone that doesn't respect private property needs an a$$kicking but this is going too far no matter where it happens.

In the eyes of the law, the only duty that a landowner has to a trespasser is they (the landowner) cannot set a trap for them. So it is not "legal" and the landowner could be successfully sued by an injured rider.

Ya hurting someone is way past proving a point




Years ago on the medicine River North of eckville, we where skidooing down it at night, farmer or land owner had a single wire across, took my buddy's clear visor off, if he would have been standing up, it would have been bad


We went back the next day, cut the wire and rolled it up with a note in a peanut butter jar... Hung them on the fence


U can imagine what the note said

I looked just like that guy does once when I was a kid on a dirt bike. Riding through the bush, middle of nowhere. Woke up on the ground and after looking around it appeared someone camped there in a tent or something and left their drying rope behind. Not fun. My brother got it once too from a 1" cable across a road back in the bush with no flagging tape, triangle signs or anything. Found out a local forestry company did it and they ended up getting fined and paying for damage to his atv as they didn't have permission from BC Forestry to even deactivate the road.
Some people need their heads examined when they pull this $hit.
