So all you tough guys go walking onto his land after he has told you to stay off. You tough guys say there will be a fight. You start heading for the guy and he pulls out his pistol. How many of you tough guys piss your pants now? Suppose he shoots you.....all for this deer....now the kids have no father, the wife has no husband and you (anyone), you dumbass, you still have no deer.
How many of you wouldn't hesitate to pull a weapon on someone that you told to stay off of your property and they came on it anyway, threatening you. We can look up old posts and find out
As much as it sucks, twildasin you did the absolute right thing. Now, if you retaliate your just as big a part of the problem as that guy.
