Another wild hog hunting adventure. This morning myself a 2 buddies are setting up a tree stand in a new location within my leased property. We had just entered the jungle when I could hear someone from the highway saying something to us. I ventured back out to the highway to find a man in a pickup truck swearing and threatening me. He told me I was on private property
and was trespassing. I tried to explain I had a hunting lease on the property. He said I did not have a lease and if I continued to disagree with him he was going to kick my ***. I told him to just call the Sherriff. He continued to threaten me so one of my buddies called the Sherriff. Finally the encounter heated up and the neighbor exited his truck and approached me with his fist clutched and drawn back. I was reaching for my conceal carry weapon and remembered my conceal carry class. I held up my hands and said, "look, I don't want any trouble" then went for my gun. The assailant finally stopped his advance. The gun never came out. After a few more threats and more swearing he goes home a hundred or so yards down the road.
A Sherriff deputy shows up and we began discussing the encounter. Next we hear 4 shots fired from the assailants home. The Sherriff deputy takes off running at full sprint towards the assailants home. I yelled at the officer, "better call for backup". Seconds later police cars are coming from both directions. 4 more shots are fired. The recently arrived officers are pulling
AR-15's from the trunk of their cars and running toward the assailant home.
Finally, one by one the officers leave and the last one approached myself and my 2 buddies. The officer sayed, "as far as I'm concerned, you fellas are okay hunting here". It told the officer we are not hunting where we are not welcome. I told the officer I was conceal carrying and was ready draw my gun when the assailant finally stopped the assault. All the office said was,
"the assailant is lucky not to be shot". The officer never asked for my name or anything, he just left. Never hear what happened to the assailant.
So how has your day been so far. Jim
