Some of you may remember this one. When combined with a paint can you can mark trespassers.
PAINTED DEER HUNTER TO HAVE TRESPASSING TICKET DISMISSED, LANDOWNER ALSO CHARGED
March 31, 2020: This is perhaps the most viewed hunting-related video of all time. Here’s a look back on how this all transpired — more than six years ago. Scroll past the updates to find the original story by D&DH’s Daniel E. Schmidt.
UPDATE 5/22, 8:59 AM:
In Web replies to posts on this topic, landowner Michael Condoluci is apparently offering more insights into the incident from last December.
Yesterday, in reply to DDH.com poster Craigo, emails from Condoluci’s email address offered these comments:
“He [Ogin] never had [expletive] permission, doesn’t own the land doesn’t pay the land owners taxes, never asked for permission to hunt. He flat out refuses to leave when he was told he was trespassing, [it] sounds like your one of the guys that hunts on public land. Good place for you. Why dont you go back there and keep your [expletive] mouth shut.”
He also commented, “…It’s trespassing. He doesn’t own it. If he wants to hunt the property, let him pay the taxes; have the common decency to ask permission to hunt.”
UPDATE 5/20, 4:44 PM:
A trespasser’s son has responded to the unfolding events. Leroy Ogin Jr. contacted D&DH just now and offered these comments in a direct message on Facebook:
“I’m just [upset] because … one video can spread so fast … to top it off, there are people [who] have no idea of what happened and don’t know the true facts … saying how funny this is and he got what he deserved. I wonder if it happened to them or one of their children if they would think its funny. Then they say they deserved it. I deal with people on my in-laws land where I hunt(110 acres) and all I do is let them know they are on private property and tell them to leave. We don’t put out traps like this guy did. That’s going too far!”
UPDATE 5/20, 2:43 PM:
In a D&DH forum and subsequent email exchange with a man stating he was Michael Condoluci and said he did, in fact, warn Ogin previously about trespassing on his land.
On the forum, he wrote: “I’m the one who did this to this idiot. I’ve owned the land for 6 years. He’s been hunting on my land every year. I tell him every year he is trespassing, he refuses to leave and tells me he’s been hunting here his whole life. My land is posted and I even have signs trespassers will be painted, and patrolled by Sherwin Williams, maybe the jerk can’t read and if that’s the case, he shouldn’t be hunting. Don’t think I will see him next year.”
D&DH responded directly to the email address, asking Condoluci if he wanted to make further statements on this situation.
“Talk to you in 6 months after the hold period,” he replied. “Just have to say he was warned about trespassing before.”
The woman who uploaded the video onto YouTube added these comments on that site this afternoon: “This man has been warned for being on private property. He chose not to listen. There was [sic] many signs posted about the paint. Unfortunately, you cannot see in color, but his clothes were not ruined. They were old, stained and ripped. What you don’t see is another young man who actually destroys a few things in [sic] the property.”
