RE: how to deal with problem?
perhaps i wasn't very clear on what i meant when i said i pointed gun at ground, i mean i was literally between him and the downhill where it was pointed at, as in gun was carried in crook of my arm aimed down in front of feet and i said exactly" I am gonna to shoot my gun into the ground to scare every deer away with the noise so you will not see a deer all day unless you please put you orange on, (in PA it is Mandatory 250 inches of orange on head and chest,plus license Must be displayed on back)when i said that i turned so that the gun was pointed as far away from him as possible, as I will agree threatening someone not good, i didn't think that this a threat to bodily harm, maybe to success of that days hunt. but anyway if i am in the wrong on that so be it, but then how in the world do you deal with jerk like that especially when you have several guys there bringing their kids along to your camp and you don't want their hunt to be ruined by running into and having to deal with guy like this, as for calling WCO's i have tried that in past on people seen poaching out of season on our property, next thing we get next time we go up is nice deer head tossed in broken window of cabin and State cops say "huh well no way to find out who did it" and we simply have another idiot that could vandalize camp while we not there. I like to not involve authorites because have not had success, simply gotten more grief (wish it wasn't that way but oh well), is there a different tack to talking to this guy i should have used? or just starting carrying camera every time i hunt up there to get photos, and leave at that with the hope that camp not burned down by guy after he caught and fined.
