^^That would be hard to do with me, even on the ground. I'd for sure hear her or see her since I look around 360° continually.
Something that stupid has to be on the internet somewhere, can you provide a link to it?

A few years back I hunted a certain spot and when this one person would see my truck they would slow down and continuously blow their horn as they went past. They did this several times. One of my best friends is the CO in the county and I told him about it. He said the next time you hunt that spot let me know and he would park down the road a bit. Needless to say it quit after that.
Another time I had a spot on the Govt land I had hunted for years and I had made a mock scrape and tied a grapevine over the scrape that I brought in from another location. I had a camera up in a cedar tree on this scrape. When I went to check it the grapevine was torn down and nowhere to be found. Then my camera was turned off and all the pictures on my SD card were erased. This happened twice so I removed my camera and have not been back since. Poeple irk me and act like they own the public land. Can't we all just get along.

Something that stupid has to be on the internet somewhere, can you provide a link to it? Don't have a link or anything, it was something my dad had heard of a long time ago. However you should go to YouTube and look up hunter harassment videos. S Many of them are your typical hunter harassment videos (people complaining, blowing horns, being loud), and some are wildlife harassing hunters, but there are a few out there that will get you wondering what world these people live in. Some of the best are goose and duck hunting. Warning though, the language from the Karens and many of the others is colorful to some degree. Some of the best were anti-hunter neighbors who weren't happy about goose hunters in the fields near them even when the hunters were following the law. Some of them show what happened after those harassing got a talking to. They also unfortunately show how clueless many LEOs are about hunting and wildlife laws. |

Very stupid and painful way to learn never to harass hunters and to never ever put your hand on the muzzle of a gun that is loaded. My phone is an old school Android that doesn't have the best internet and doesn't have an easy way of copying links or I'd provide one. |

I was on the way out of the woods at a lease I had a few years ago when a constant horn started blowing from the direction of my truck. It was an older lady from down the road that wanted to make sure that I didn't shoot "her" deer. Apparently there was an albino doe that she fed and claimed as her personal pet. I informed her that I would not be likely to harvest an albino since they are normally small and offer little meat, but I would be well within my legal right to do so if I so desired. She wanted to argue with me, but I had no interest. I handed her a business card with my contact information and invited her to ask a LEO and have that LEO contact me if I was wrong. I never saw her again, but there was always a horn or two blown when I hunted there.

Never deer hunting but man I have a few off the wall stories waterfowl hunting. One time a man and his wife drove out in the field we were hunting to tell us we weren't wearing our hunter orange and couldnt shoot a gun where we were. We had permission to hunt there and promised the land owners we wouldnt drive out in their field. I invited them to call a CO out to resolve our issues and explain the laws. They ended up with a trespass and hunter harassment fine, never were bothered by them again.
The second time we werent harassed, other than them sitting on the side of the road until the CO arrived( they were probably 400 yards off of where we were hunting) but someone called the local police station to inform them that "these people had to have drugged these geese because they are, picking up geese and stuffing them in bags".... I wish I were joking, someone saw us picking up our decoys and thought we were bagging live geese. The police called the local CO and he came out just to get a laugh with us telling us what was reported.

Twice I've had land owners tamper with my traps that were in the road right of way. No houses close, below waterline set traps, one was cited for trap tampering, other issued a warning. Both times the landowners were waiting at the sets for me to arrive and had pulled my traps out, I remained calm, quoted the law to them and respectively disagreed, both time's I called the wardens and asked them to come out. I tried to pressure the officers to cite them for hunter harassment but both said they did not want to "go down that road".
When I was 16-17 years old I was hunting a new property, shot a buck that then jumped a fence, as I was climbing thru the fence a fella came walking up the side of the woods and ripped my behind for trespassing, would not let me retrieve the deer (that we could see), I stood there and watched him field dress the deer and start dragging it off. A couple weeks later I was telling the farmers son and he said "we own both side of that fence!!". He then showed me the property line's.
Following year I find same fella in MY stand and he tried the trespassing card again but this time I called him on it, we argued for some time, I ended up hunting a different stand because he refused to admit he never owned the property. (property line was 200 yards away). That evening the farmer and I paid the fella a visit, did not go well for the neighbor!!! It always made me scratch my head because I thought the neighbors property was much better hunting land, why would he not hunt his own, why bother trespassing on less quality land?

I wish I were joking, someone saw us picking up our decoys and thought we were bagging live geese. The police called the local CO and he came out just to get a laugh with us telling us what was reported. 🤣 I have one a bit similar to the last one even though it's not hunter harassment. I was with a group doing nighttime wild hog eradication in Louisiana for a few days. The last night I was sitting in the follow car with my dad and some friends we were with while the rest of our group spotted with the chase vehicle in a suburban field thy had permission on. The chase truck's lights were on the green setting so the hogs wouldn't see it coming. Well the field is right next to a major highway where everyone could see. We were sitting near a power station just off the highway, hidden somewhat though so that people wouldn't stop and ask questions. Well we saw a car pull off the road on our side and wondered what was going on. About an hour later we were sitting in the entrance to a field in the country waiting for the chase vehicle to finish making a round of that field, when a police car drives past, sees us, stops, and comes and asks us what we're up to. We told him, and I'm pretty sure he was about ready to laugh inside once he heard. He was on the lookout for aliens with green lights in a field! The car that we had seen pull over had seen the green lights and gotten quite a fright, so they had called police. And that helped us out because the driver of the chase vehicle realized he's forgotten to check in with dispatch (which the company is supposed to do in case any calls come in like the one I just talked about). Dad and I and one other in our group switch vehicles and we're heading to another field beyond a small town when we get hung up at a stop light for about 11 cycles. The drunk guy in front of us had fallen asleep. We went and parked in the nearby gas station and called on him. It got interesting when right as we were asking for police a state trooper drove past and he managed to stop and turn around very quickly. Never looked for an update, but we watched the guy get arrested, probably for DUI. Drove past later and his car had been towed to the empty parking lot on that street. It was at 11:00 at night. |

The worst I've had was on a stand I had that was about 50 yards away from a property line. It was on public adjacent to private. The stand was facing and set up to shoot into a field on public. I thought it could be an issue since I could see small food plots on the sat view a few hundred yards away so I had an older stand and used sticks instead of a ladder. They had painted the trees to mark the property line and decided to paint about 3' of my lifeline and carabiner.
I had a CO in Kansas tell me that a woman who owned property next to where I was hunting liked to harass hunters. Typically she would lay on her car horn I guess. Her brother was a mechanic so the CO told her he would write her a ticket unless her brother disabled her car horn.

Look up hunter harassment Muzzleloading Forum. I just found it. Very stupid and painful way to learn never to harass hunters and to never ever put your hand on the muzzle of a gun that is loaded. My phone is an old school Android that doesn't have the best internet and doesn't have an easy way of copying links or I'd provide one. Thanks. I have a friend that lives in Oklahoma City and does hunter safety classes. I sent it to him to see if he can verify it. Here's what he said, and I asked him if he knows what year it happened. I will update when I get a reply. "Dang had to really dig into old newsprint to find it and yes it seems true, an older woman did put her hand up and got it shot. Was in a small town in eastern Ok near Atoka but the story was thin and didn't have many real details other than she lost her hand and got a 30 day stay in jail for her actions. He was on his own land too. so, she got the jail time for trespassing. " |

And it was hard to find so may not have been mainstream news back then." |

Yes I have, I was hunting public land & being old I don't hunt in the deep woods anymore. I was hunting from a tree stand about 50 yds from the road it was a weekday during gun season so I was wearing orange so I could be seen from far away it was about 2:30pm a truck came by & slowed down, the (thump thump) music got louder they started honking the horn & then got out of his truck to start screaming to me "How's the hunting going, you shot anything yet". He got back in the truck & burned the tires off as he drove out of the woods.
He was too far away from me to get a licence plate number but I will remember that truck.

Take your pick, but it’s either brave or stupid to irritate someone that you know has a gun. My bet is that Darwin will catch up with that guy.
