Yeah, can't take this stuff too seriously. But then again it was a confrontational scenario that led to several hunters getting wacked out by that Montagnard with an assault rifle a year or two ago.

And a bunch got shot in wisconsin a few years back! 7-8 guys got killed over an argument! Dont point guns at people unless you are in the process of shooting them.

Generally, I try to keep it low key when I deal with trespassers -- never certain who your are dealing with, and a fire can do a lot of damage to a forest. Plus, this guy was just a kid -- 18 or 19 years old.
For those of you who would seriously consider pointing a gun at someone over trespassing - it ain't worth it. I carry a side arm, but wouldn't dream of escalating over something as minor as trespassing -- kicking his ass, yes, pulling a gun / shooting someone... cause if you pull it, you have to be willing to use it.

people say.. "dont pull a gun unless you plan to use it"
my opinion: SHOOTING is Not the ONLY "use" for a gun.
Just Pulling a Gun (if you must) and Not having to pull the trigger.. to prevent any further damage to anything or anyone.. i belive this is a GOOD USE FOR A GUN.
After you pull it.. its there Choice to either leave w/ no further trouble.. or TEST YOU to see if your ready to shoot.
most of the time, the Gun serves a good purpose without even pulling the trigger.
as long as you ARE WILLING to Shoot, if they test you !!

I wish they would jack up the price for a tresspassing citation. If you think about it, many of these idiots can sneak in and hunt on prime property with the only risk being getting caught and having to pay a $250.00 - $1000.00 fine. sounds expensive...until you think about what it costs to go on a guided hunt or to lease "average" hunting land. I wish mylease only cost me a grand. lad
