RE: You have to LOVE hunting in Massachusetts!!!!
Do you guys really think it was overboard? My dad is a private investigator in Central Maine and this scenario has happened to him probably 100 times in the last few years. Not SWAT teams, but local police with guns "available". He now calls the local police on a daily basis when he will be in thier town, tells them where he will be parking his car, and where he will be in the woods if he is doing surveillance. This is daytime stuff....if he were doing it at night there certainly would be a greater degree of police suspicion. I think it was good police work in this day and age and once the situation was understood it seems things deescalated quickly.
