The policy posted all over the place, ropes across the trails, agreement all pass holders sign, and common sense clearly aren’t enough.

But if you want to stop people from breaking into houses you put up neighborhood watch signs and you advertise about the new video surveillance system. Then houses don’t get broken into which is what you are trying to prevent. And in this case the poachers are your customers so you really should want to do everything you can do to keep them from doing something dumb and ruing your relationship with them.newpylong1 wrote:I agree. It's kinda like getting caught breaking into someone's house because they didn't have a copy of the trespassing laws taped to the door, and then saying "I didn't know".

Yes because that’s how you make money. Every business would be a lot easier if it wasn’t for the customers.Mister Moose wrote:Wut?

Killington is using cameras installed for one purpose (real time situation monitoring) for a secondary purpose (poaching). It’s like using a Ring Doorbell for crime solving. There’s nothing wrong with either nor does the secondary use need to be announced.Eddytheyetti wrote: ↑Dec 16th, '23, 15:02But if you want to stop people from breaking into houses you put up neighborhood watch signs and you advertise about the new video surveillance system.

I heard a rumor the town is putting automated speeding cameras on the access road. 1 mph over and you get a ticket. I bet this will have your full support.daytripper wrote: ↑Dec 16th, '23, 13:12 Why should K have to tell people how they may catch you poaching? Closed trails are closed. If you decide to duck a rope then you decided that that trail is worth a 2 week time out. No different than speeding on the highway. If you get caught it's your problem. Saying management has to tell you what they may be doing to catch you is ridiculous. If you do the crime and get caught you do the time. Crying about it is something a spoiled brat would do. If you got a speeding ticket are you going to tell the judge it was unfair because you didn't know how they were going to catch you?
