Call the sheriff or the local game warden. Hunter harassment is illegal in MI.

if its your land, call the police and have them charged with illigal tresspassing and hunter harasment

Up here in Maine that type of thing is illegal so I'd call the warden and tell them where they can find the body!

Wrap him in duct-tape and bring him to the law.

Execute a citizen's arrest before calling the law and hope he resists. I may not have pepper spray with me but I'd gladly squirt the whole bottle of Doe In Heat Super Pee in his face and he might even fall down on my rattling antlers.

I hunt on private land, so he is tresspassing.

I think I would show him were he can put that whistle.... Actually I would tell him if he doesn't stop I am going to have to execute citizen's arrest.

If he was on my property though I would probably arrest him myself and make sure he resisted so I would have an excuse to beat the $#@% out of him.

Heck yeah matuse3...do whatever you can legally to take care of the problem.

has this ever actually happened to anyone, first hand?
(not a friend of a friend of a friend)

or is this just a hypothetical/ fantasy situation?

I don't doubt that there are stupid people out there, but this one seems exceedingly stupid.

Piss off a man with a gun while breaking several laws..... sounds like a great idea!

Ken, it happened here in NJ during both of the much needed Bear hunts that took place several and a few years ago. I do not know of anyone personally, as that was in the northern part of the state, i'm in the southern end, Bear still being rare here, but it recieved a good bit of media attention and the offenders actually got tough sentences, some of them jail.

best bet is use superior woodsmanship to lead him back towards the road and away from my spots and stands while waiting for the law to show up.

LEad him toward the road where the law will be. But lead him through every patch of brambles thorns and cold mud along the way.

I'd leave before one of us got hurt.

Start filling out the "tresspasser/poacher" tag on my license. ;-)

Take that sucker so far in he would never find his way out!

I would tie him to a tree, and then tell the warden/sheriff where he is.

i'd just laugh that would be funny i pray that happens to me. might be a ruined day of hunting but it'll be the story you can tell your hunting buddies for years to come

i break his nose with the butt of my gun, hopefully knocking him out. then i just leave.

Try this again, opened up another file and it changed my settings!

country road,

that’s too violent and we can’t do that!

Better yet, call back and have the gang locate his
love bug, winch it up a tree and tie it off next to a yellow jacket nest while taking him deep into the woods thru poison oak and poison ivy then swatting a critter nest as you walk by it and as "IT" is trying to outrun the bees and wasps slip into the woods leaving "IT”, HIM, HER or whatever they call themselves now days!!!

This did happen to me and some of my friends while grouse hunting. This animal right group followed us around banging on pots and pans calling us murders. I posted this story awhile ago on this site. They brought the warden service and a television crew with them.

I'll be totally honest here, I hunt mostly on posted/private land, so I would beat the shi@ out of him, then call the law. I've attained hunting rights to several pieces of ground based on the premise that I'll keep tresspassers OUT, and I take that duty very seriously, plus, if I'm hunting, and someone walks in and screws up my hunt, I go ballistic. I cherish the time I get to hunt, and I can't afford to lease or buy land, so if myself and my kids get to hunt a piece of ground as long as I'm a total A-hole to tresspassers, hippie or not, then you better watch where you tread. If it's a chick, I won't harm her, but trust me, she'll be leaving quickly, and won't be returning.

violence would first come to mind, but i know better than that (we all do). the best thing to do is what most of you have already said. call the game warden and get them arrested, maybe hog tie them so they dont run. assulting them would just make matters worse for yourself. we are better than that. dont take yourself down to the same level they are. just be smart and act like a true sportsmen. dont shine a bad light on the rest of us.

then again they dont mean to help us they are trying to help the animals thay don't realize that most of the time we are on the same side. i can honestly say i agree with about 3/4 of the protests they have like the ones against dog and rooster fighting which is around here. i just don't agree with the whole hunters are murderers any one who eas meat is a killer kind of stuff

I AGREE WITH 2POPPA! IM AFRAID IF I STUCK AROUND I MAY FORGET MY MANNERS.

Call the police. I'd have him removed for tresspassing.

document everything about the incident; who what where when and how. if the harrasment occured on federal land then it is a federal offense (to interfere with a lawful hunt on federal land).asap contact the local sheriff department, and local forest service and fish and game. followup is crucial. you have to be willing to stand up and testify against these folks. make em pay.

I would go find him a grizzly he can play with.

Hunter harassment is illegal in most states. Get an accurate description or a name if they will give it to you and contact the local Conservation Officer. If you harm the person the media will make him a martyr for his cause. You can leave and hunt another day, but if you harm him you probably won't have another day to hunt. As a retired Conservation Officer take me at my word.

Walk to the bear cave and tell the bear its lunch time.

I would break a stick off a tree and burn it right in front of his face and see how he likes that

I would bet "the hippie" the $20 I keep in my survival kit that he couldn't outlast me in a distance run without saying "uncle" first beginning then and there. We would both have to run with everything we had on and were carrying with us and couldn't stop until one of us gave up. I'm hoping for about 18 inches of snow on the ground. I would also make him show me his $20 first. He should take the bet because I would likely be older than said hippie. Wait a minute. Aren't hippies extinct?

Tell my cousin to "go get a job, or go check on his plants."

Call the sherrif or wildlife officer.
