I always plant in a huge patch of 3 foot poison ivy . If jimmy cruzin through the bush looking to rip knows anything he is doing a 180' and that way nobody thats out for a hike will stumble in on itWell I will reserve judgment in this particular case, as I dont know if this was in fact a booby-trap or just an unfortunate accident involving a support line. And my thoughts go out to his family and loved ones especially since he was obviously blasted by the media already. However I wont deny that he was doing something terribly stupid...
Now for people that use traps with the intent to hurt others, I have no sympathy for, I couldn’t tell you what I would do if I was on a family hike and we accidently came across a grow and one of my children was hurt. People like these I wish do fall into their own traps ... I agree with the post above that we should use non evasive deterrents .. like poison ivy, fake poo , ect.
Hey it's the man's own property , I support his right to defend it. It's not like these 'traps' were on public property
Personaly, I suspect the artice is blown way out of proportion. The coyote trap the artice stated was a leg hold type , these traps would not stop , slow down , or injure anybody. the trap was likely set for nunisance dogs/fox/coon which is legal on your own property.
The piano string across the trail is a common deterrant for ATV riders tresspasing on private land
Personaly I LOVE bobby traps
That's fine and all but every time ive gotten poison ivy, It was after I got out of the woods I realized I encountered it. even now when I notice it it Ill just blaze though it if I got long pants on. I always go by the fact that all animals(humans included) will take the path of least resistant, its instinct. So I venture to areas of considerable resistance, (not so much that I cant get my shit in and out of there, but enough so that most others would be pissing and moaning within 5-10 of being there, swatting the swarms of insects away)I always plant in a huge patch of 3 foot poison ivy .

I don't always decapitate trespassers but when I do I leave them for the buzzards to clean up
