Invite them in and offer them some venison and beer. Then show them my deer heads, fish mounts and then my collection of guns.

Since they already have a bad attitude about who we are and what we do, I would continue being polite and cordial to them... try to sway their opinion of us as sportsmen. Once I've established that they will not sway my opinion, and I can't sway theirs, I will ask them to leave. If they refuse to leave, I will (remaining polite) tell them that they are trespassing on my property and that they need to leave before I involve law enforcement. If they don't take the hint, then I will follow through with that ultimatum. Again, politeness is vital.

I agree with combat.medic. Can't imagine anything would benefit you or your cause more than being polite. They likely won't change their mind, so midaswell not give them more ammo for their next rally or whatever.

First of all if someone from PETA is at my house in South Georgia, I know they either have no fear, or they are horribly lost.

Kyle, remember those aren't fish mounted on your wall, they're sea kittens...Know the difference! LOL

Combat & WV, y'all are both right. I will be on my best behavior. However, if this person is brainwashed beyond repair and redemption, I reserve the right to invoke the "It's not my job to educate all the stupid MoFo's in the world" clause.....Combat, I'm sure you understand we can only save the ones that are savable.

There's no such thing as "Will not Leave" as far as I'm concerned. I have had someone so persistant I've just closed the door in their face. I'm not generally a very rude person, but there's only so many ways to say "I'm not interested." if they can't understand.

from firehawk532 wrote 2 years 2 weeks ago

I would politely explain to them that I am an avid hunter & fisherman and they were not welcome on my property. If they would not leave after this then I would tell them if they did not leave immediately I would have them arrested for trespass. If they still persisted then I would call the police and press charges. I admit it might be tempting to let my dogs have some fun with them or to show them the business end of 1 of my guns but that would only end with trouble and me probably in it. Also as mentioned above it is lost cause trying reason with these people because they are not going to change their opinion.
