My family has a ranch in the Big Bend area and we catch all sorts of similar activity on cameras. A couple months ago a neighboring ranch had someone who crossed illegally burn down a building on their ranch as they were tired and hungry and knew the smoke would draw in people. The poor planning arsonist was fed, given water and was released on the condition that they pinky swear to come back for a trial that's set for sometime before the year 2035. Somehow I don't think they'll be showing up for that court date.
Yes-- the court dates and the pinky swearing are like some kind of bad comedy. If you wrote some kind of a Dr. Strangelove script centered around the practice, people and critics would blast the film, saying it was just too ridiculous to pass the smell test.
