This isn't mom and pops growing the weed up here. These are criminals, some with connections to mexican gangs and illegal aliens. Recently just south of Rhinelander a field of 130 plants was found on private land and just south of Minocqua 150 plants were cultivated in the state forest. There's been a lot more. We have big drug problems up here with meth, heroin and rx drugs being some of the worst. How the hell do I know what I'm coming across in the woods when I'm hiking with my dog. I don't give a rats a$$ about what someone grows for their own personal use. I don't care if you use it. But what's going on in the forests are criminals using public land and most likely, have the means to defend it. I love it up here and I'm not going to let the criminals ruin it for me or anyone else. And you idiots that are defending this don't have a clue as to whats going on. Some of you are so f'n hypocritical. You get angry when the some cops harass you for doing something legal - carrying, yet you don't want to raise a hand to bring attention to someone doing something illegal. I'm sick of this group. There's been times I've avoided it due to the petty bickering but I don't think I've ever been so angry as I am now. What's wrong with you, approving of people breaking the law and wanting someone like me just looking the other way? Do you actually think that if you or I came across a guarded grow or lab, the criminal would also look the other way and let bygones be bygones?
I have never written a post like this but this topic really hits home. I am always out in the woods and I always have a gun on me or with me. Thank God I can do that. I'm not afraid to be out there, but gun or not, I don't stand a chance against the criminals manufacturing drugs up here. I'm grateful that most of us up here would do the right thing and report it.
