I found a guy in my deer stand in rural Tennessee one morning. The stand is in the middle of six acres I bought for hunting and when I asked the guy why he was there he told me it was his property. I replied "then why have I been paying taxes on it for ten years?". He then said "I guess you want me to move huh?". Duh! A few days later I was sitting in the stand when a bullet came whizzing by my head. I could see the guy who took the shot on a ridge a few hundred yards away. This was no mistake, he was shooting at me! I looked like a 200 squirrel sliding down that tree.
Did you report this apparent case of attempted murder to the police?
"I found a guy in my deer stand in rural Tennessee"
I lived on 200 acres in west Tennessee, and came to HATE deer hunters.
Every fall, I had redneck jerks from Memphis poaching on my property, and had to spend every Saturday chasing them down.
One that I confronted, made motions with his gun as to say if I did not like he, try and do something.
I did not even own a gun.
Well, I called the game wardens, and they pretty much spoiled the rest of his day.
I guess he hid in a ditch while they spent the entire day combing my property for him.
One older man that I caught one Saturday, had to drive back out on Monday, and beg me not to file charges on him.
He was actually paying some jerk lowlife to hunt on MY property.
You deer hunters can flame away at me, but most in my area are the lowest of trash.
