There proably afraid of the dark .

I suggest that anyone who has someone point a gun at them and threaten them while hunting take appropriate action to get these a-holes out of the woods! rather than confront them imediately , wait for them to come out and get their backtag number or go get a second person to confront them and get their backtag number. To threaten someone with a firearm is a felony!

This happened 20 years ago and I was very nervous. Getting back tag numbers wasn`t a high priority at the time. I have talked to several other people who have had simular confrontations with hunters in the woods. Just because we hunt a little different than they do.

i live in sw pa ,i moved here four years ago, the first year i ran into the same sorta problem ,the thing was is i had permission ,and the group runnning the deer with quads and giving me a hard time didn' t ! needless to say they don' t hunt there anymore ! it' s sad but true thats why i thinking of bowhunting only again, i gave it a second chance and i' m not real happy with the results of the kind of a holes there are out there![:' (]

Chalk up antother person who had problems in Sproul State Forest. I went on the opening day with a buddy two years ago Near Snow Shoe. He had scouted the area and picked out some spots for us. Well I was sitting in my spot and just after daybreak this guy came trouncing through the woods and stopped at a tree 100yards in front of me and proceeded to unchain his climbing stand and climb the tree. I flashed my flashlight and coughed many times but no reaction. So I got up and walked over to him to confront him. I asked him if he saw me, he said yes and that he wasn' t going to move on this day. Then for some stupid reason he proceeded to ask me how long i' ve hunted there and where I was from like it mattered for some reason. Like I had to be a local to hunt there. Yeah I' m from State College and I know that for some reason people from up on the hill (This is what we call the people who live around that area) feel inferior for some reason. I proceeded to tell him that If I was in his shoes I would have moved, and I really would have, no big deal, there are plenty of places to hunt. So I just walked away and hunted nearby. I never did hear any shots from that direction, HA HA I guess that spot wasn' t that good afterall. There must be something in the water up there to make them act like that.

I had a simular experience in bear season a few years ago. It got day light and next thing I new there was several people within 100 yards of me. It`s a big woods so I moved to a rock about 600 yards away. I was standing on the rock when a person came and setup about 30 yards from me. This pissed me off, but I didn`t say anything. I sat on my rock and about 10:30 he left. I stayed on the rock and about 1:00 he came back and set up in front of me again. Well this really pissed me off and I setup 30 yards bellow him and coughed, sneezed, played my radio moved all around to make as much noise as I could. I evan farted very loud. He finally shook his head and left. I would never setup on anyone else and if someone is going to do this to me its fair game.

Warning... anybody stupid enough to point a gun at me better use it, because I know I wont hesitate to fire back. For goodness sakes dont point a gun at anybody. You may end up pointing it at the wrong person.

i know a state, not penn. that i hunt after our season and most of the hutners there despise treestand hunters and i have no reason why ive been in a stand and have them come right under me and stand and ive heard them make some smartalec comments to but just wait till the big buck comes otu cause i can see way better then they can from my view, i just wonder what the deal si with anti treestandites
