Problem in Pardeeville
Recently we have had a problem in the small town of Pardeeville, just outside of Portage.
We were leasing property for our 2 horses. This property is at the end of a dirt road, there is a house but it is vacant. The property has ALOT of deer and turkey, and I guess someone was used to using it for hunting, both leagally and illegally. I say illegally because when we lived in the house briefly, our dog would drag deer hides, skulls (with 8 point antlers still attached), and other scraps out of the woods. Several times we noticed vehicles that would come down the drive, see the house occupied, and turn around and leave. We moved from the house but still had our horses there. For some reason, our horses kept getting out of 3 strands of electric fencing. The last 2 times, the fence charger was turned off, and the gate connected wrong. Strange boot prints were also found in the mud near the gate.
This has been reported to the Columbia county sherrif and the DNR.
If anyone has any information, or has seen any illegal hunting activity in that area, please contact the sherriff's dept. You can leave an message and not have to leave your name.
We have since then moved our horses to a secure boarding facillty about 10 minutes outside of town.
If you don't feel comfortable calling the police dept. just send me a private message, and I will relay it, and I will not tell where I got the information.
Thanks
