Back in probably 1993 I was hunting 400 acres east of Decatur. This property had an old railroad bed cutting across it where teenie boppers used to go and party, among other things. Anyways one day I was in my stand when I heard a truck coming down the stone bed. It stopped even with my stand (about 100yds away) and I heard people start yelling "run deer, There's a hunter in the woods, run." I almost fell out of my tree laughing! They followed a deer trail into the woods,which by the way I could here them talking about how they found "a hunters trail" an were following it. About 50 yds from my stand one of them picked up an old rusty PBR can and stated " look at these slob hunters out here drinking with guns." That can had to have been there since Nixon was in office! Nevermind that it could of been kids, a farmer, someone cutting wood, anything! They got within 25yds of my stand, which btw is only 10' high, and they never saw me! One of these putzs made eye contact with me and it was he who decided they better go before they got in trouble. The week before another stand on the same farm was tore down and hidden, but I found it and put it back up and hunted out of it the same day. I missed a small buck that I wanted soooo bad bc I was gonna put an article in peoples voice thanking them for helping me get a deer by forcing me to move my stand. That would have been so sweet! Anyone else have anti stories to share?

I've so far been lucky enough not to encounter one while afield , though I have had a few run ins with them elsewhere . Each time I made an effort to be diplomatic and not instigate an argument , they apparently did the same since I don't recollect any dramas resulting from it . At worst we parted agreeing to disagree . This has always been individuals , they may behave differently when in groups .

I agree with the whole "wolf pack" mentality of some antis.

I ran into 3 teenagers (2 girls & 1 girly boy) a few years back at the end of a good morning of fishing on state property. I was minding my own business loading my boat & gear when they went out of their way to approach me to basically tell me that I was a vile person & fish have feelings too. At that point, I gave them the "ole greasy-eyeball" and firmly told them to back-off. They got in front of me again as I continued loading. At this point I looked up & said that they had better look around and notice that no one except us were around now to witness the beating they were about to receive if they continued getting in my face. As they were sucking air looking for words to say I got in my truck & left.

I've not ran in to any in the woods or out a field but I had a teacher in College that was one for sure. We argued each way and I proved her wrong most of the time. I thought for sure I was going to flunk the class but I couldn't believe it when I got my grade. I got an A. I've never been real vocal about to many things in class but after that I started being more vocal. The funny thing was we would get in a circle every class and she would start out by reading a topic and then looking at me and saying what do you think.... It was too funny!!!

Back when I was younger (read dumber here)and living in North Dakota, I got drawn for a moose tag. Had to choose bow or gun. Chose bow and the rut was late in coming, so it was strictly spot and stalk hunting. I was driving around and spotted a bull in the middle of a slough. Parked my vehicle up the road a bit and tried stalking it. Got to within 100 yards of the bull when a woman from Canada got out of her vehicle (her brave husband stayed in the car) and started running towards the bull clapping her hands and yelling at the bull to run. As this was day 20 in a 30 day hunt, I was pretty peeved at that point. So, I slung an aluminum arrow at a rock pile that wasn't in her direction but she heard it. The next thing all I see is her elbow and butt running as fast as she can towards the car yelling "He's shooting! He's shooting!" I was pretty ticked at stalking that close and having her ruin it, but I giggled to myself when I heard her screeching. I've since grown older and while the arrow was flung at a direction opposite of her, it probably wasn't the smartest thing I've ever done. I was able to harvest a bull on day 28 of the hunt however. So, the anti's didn't ruin my season.

I was on a bear hunt in Ontario one yr and had two girls on horseback come down the trail by my stand yelling you can't shoot the bears over and over. All I did was yell back that I could shoot horses and they were gone in a flash. My hunt was done for the evening but My sides were sore from laughing. Guid put me on another stand the next day and I took a nice bear. I can't figure if the guid was helping me or protecting the horses. LOL
