I found this story on a hunting web page: it’s a testament of what kinds of hunters are out in the field. It’s a shame that not everyone has social graces or follows the laws that are written. Remember hunting is a privilege. Hunters like this are the reason there are trespassing sign propping up all over the state of North Dakota.

This guys was a piece of work. He told us to hit the road. My friend knew that was not going to fly with me so I grabbed his Chessie by the back of his collar and threw him in his crate.
The Chess was not happy. My friend ID's himself as the landowner and offered to show him on the plat book. Again his reply was so? This guy just did not get it. He proceeded to get ready to get his dog out of the crate when I told him to hit the trail. He then got his dog out and they started into the field. I just took off my heavy jacket and was going to go knock him on his ass when up pulls a Sheriff deputy. Turns out the deputy are a friend of my buddy.
Well he calls the warden and holds the guys until he shows up. All the while the guys were being a wiseass. Well the deputy writes them for trespassing. The warden shows up and its game on. He nailed them for no plug in their guns as we were in ND. He goes through their cooler and bites them for not leaving on a leg, wing or head on some pheasants and finds two duck breasts. Well lo and behold no water fowl lic. for ND. He wrote them up for that as well. No Lic. no federal stamp, no wing or head on the duck The warden was on a mission after the guys were being such smart asses. Well finally the fun had to end. The guys got in their truck and tore out of there.
The deputy and warden were smiling and shot the breeze with us for a while. Life was good that day. If they would have asked by buddy would have let them hunt some of his 2800 acres and shoot all the birds they wanted but being a jerk got them in hot water. as for a tough guys my buddy was Marine Recon as was I, that’s how we met. Well you never know whom you are messing with. I found that out when i got in a fight with two guys in San Diego. I got my but kicked. They were SEALS. Always someone tougher out there

Believe me, we have the same type people in Mississippi. I think they are all related.
I am sure your right. The funny thing is the guy probably could have just left but since he decided to be an ass he got his but rung up.
Another great article and probably what most people with no guts to ask permission to hunt do is just sneak in on property they want to hunt and hunt until they get caught and usually just as these guys did they take whatever game they can and hope they don't get caught by a warden.This goes on everywhere and thats where we ( the true hunters of the land ) come into play. By doing our part and helping to stop the poaching in your area. Report all suspectious activities going on in your area and you soon will have a place you can hunt without any unplesant mishaps while you hunt. Although there is some people that actually hunt game for food cause they can't afford the license or any other food they only need to ask and I'm sure someone will help so they don't get into troble with the law.Your friend might try ussueing written permission slips signed and dated by him which will tell him who is hunting his property at any given date and keep the number of hunters on the property to a low number at any given time for safety reasons. Thats what most farmers here in Tennessee do and it works great.
