Has been on my mind, had some less specific examples lately and one that got my attention. I searched and really didn't find any talk on this.
Was deer hunting with a friend this weekend. He was with someone else earlier in the week in a town forest when people dog walking tried to tell him he couldn't hunt there. Lot of conversation took place but he didn't sway them.
Then I was with him Saturday and I bumped into different dog walkers. They said the same to me. Then a separate woman arrived and said the same to me, though it is legal hunting. She called the police, didn't stay for them to arrive, and walked her dog. My friend came out of the woods, he arrived at my truck as the police arrived, two cruisers, four officers. They were fine, we were right. But it got my goat. I told the lady that hunter harassment is illegal, she didn't think she was doing anything. I've already sent a letter to the selectmen to get understanding of the town forests publicized better.
So, anyone had lousy incidents?
Good part of day though, I had arrived because my friend called to help him take away a doe he had shot earlier!
