Ya, can you believe it?, ( you probably can ) someone knocked down a claim stake.
Thinkin' of setting up a game camera.
If I catch the S.O.B., what charges can be brought against the offender?
I put my stake back up, but it really ticks me off!

So far, I'm working on Calif. codes.
I'll get into the Fed. codes soon.

I have my suspicions as to who it was.
If I get proof, I'm gonna nail the S.O.B.!
I concider it a form of assault, and I don't take kindly to offenders.

I'm still researching the issue.
So, I don't think it was a critter of the type you describe.
