Swamphunter Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 My first case of Hunter Harassment by some anti! I was in the woods hunting about maybe 150 yards from the road over this trail that runs down to a brook on the property that I was hunting. While I was there I heard a vehicle drive by blowing the horn for about a minute and a half. It kept turning around and going back and forth I think because it seemed to be moving. It wasn't loud enough to bother anything in the woods and these antis are so stupid thinking that deer are afraid of a horn that they hear constantly throughout the day on roads. The realize these horns are sounding from a road and not inside ther domain... antis/treehuggers are idiots. I'm tempted to go to there website and post recipes for whitetailed deer, furry gray squirrels and sweet lovey dovey bunnie shish kabob.

HuntingInMaine Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Experienced my first I would have gotten their license plate numbers. Don't know about your area, but that is illegal here in Maine. If they want to make their statement against hunting, I would make sure they also had to pay a fine for it!

Swamphunter Posted October 15, 2004 Author Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Experienced my first [ QUOTE ] I would have gotten their license plate numbers. [/ QUOTE ] I was 150 yards into the woods and did not think it was going to continue. Still it only last for about 90 seconds and after the first 30 (while I was expecting it to quit), I would have had only 60 seconds to cover the distance and no way could have I made it out in time. Plus like I said, it was not very loud at all to me, just loud enough to let me know they were there. Wasn't worth messing up my hunt for.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Experienced my first I would have gotten down and went over to them and had a talk. At least got their license number. Its a shame people have to be that way. Last year I experienced my first hunter harrassment and it was from another hunter. He apparently didn't like my stand selection and started clapping and breaking every rotten tree on the way out of the woods. He then went and got his 3 wheeler and drove back into the words and made a ruckus. I should have reported it but I didn't want to ruin the rest of my season as they live up by our land we hunt on and we don't. Sometimes I think they know our land better than we do. Hate to see people act this way, their mentality is unreal but maybe a trip by local law enforcement would make them change their ways. Next time this guy mess with my hunt I am calling the DNR on him. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/ QUOTE ] Like I mentioned in my earlier post, there is no way I could have covered the distance to get to the road on time. Not too mention for the first 30 seconds or so, you expect them to leave. It would have given me only 1 minute to cover the distance. And again, it wasn't loud enough to really bother me or my hunt.. I just got irritated.

AdvantageTimberLou Posted October 15, 2004 Report Share Posted October 15, 2004 Re: Experienced my first Swamp, When I posted my topic you didn't have yours posted so I could see your dilemma in not getting there. We must have been typing and posting as the same time. What you do is put together a dummy and put it in your treestand to make it look like your hunting. Then you hide near the road and give them the scare of their life. I would think about a cam corder as well as video holds up real good in the court of law. Taped them anti's doing it and see what laws can be applied and make an example out of their stupidity. Lou Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

archerjg Posted October 16, 2004 Report Share Posted October 16, 2004 Re: Experienced my first Here it is illegal to mess with a hunter while they are hunting. Some people aren't wrapped too tight though. It would have been a funny irony if they actually pushed something to you though.

Tetro Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Experienced my first I have it lucky the landowners where we hunt, all embrace us hunting deer, and like to see some shot, becuase it means less getting into fields and bothering their crops. But the area where I am most of the onwers are all related and even though we all cover all lot of property, everyone knows who hunts where, and who they're related to.

RangerClay Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Experienced my first Swamper If they can see from a 150 yds away you must not be very well hidden? If they can see you the deer sure can. All joking aside. BE SURE to carry a cell phone with you from now on!!!! They know where your stand is an it may get worse. Be sure to check it for b00by traps.

fisherguy Posted October 18, 2004 Report Share Posted October 18, 2004 Re: Experienced my first That is really too bad, hopefully you bag a deer htere and can proudly and slowly load it into your truck beside the road. Maybe theyll come by so you can show it off to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
