I simply hate people any more. The vast majority are just like the morons in Skunkedagains experience. I’ve decided most are helpless and hopeless and couldn’t do for themselves, so they see others and come crowd you to find success. Zero courtesy in today’s world. I went hunting waterfowl at a state land wildlife management area a few years ago. I arrived well before dawn and broke ice in the dark to set out my decoys. Settled into my hand built blind and listened to Canadian geese talking in the predawn. I was the only person on a 20 acre pond and I even went to trouble to have written permission from a neighbor to access the land by crossing his. Some idiot showed up ten minutes before shooting time and came all the way to my open water before he realized my decoys weren’t real. So he throws his decoys out ten yards from
Mine. Two honkers came flying up the pond and he stood up and dumped them both. Gathered up his stuff and went right back across the private land to his truck. He was still there when I left. I asked him if he had permission and he mocked me for thinking the private land wasn’t state land. I lost my temper and told him off good. He decided to physically threaten me and that ended well. I knocked him on his a$$ and when he threatened to call the sheriff I handed him my phone. Deputy showed up and I figured I’d be going to jail. He talked to the guy and then to me and then he told the guy he’d arrest me for assault but he’d arrest him for assault, trespassing and shooting prior to legal shooting time. Suddenly he didn’t want to press the issue. I am not saying violence is the answer, but I will admit it sure felt good on that day. I go hunt and fish and camp to get away from people. And I live in a remote part of Utah with few neighbors. When idiots crowd you, regardless of pubic land, it sure ruins things quickly. Skunked- I’m happy you could take your FIL fishing with all the challenges. You will surely be blessed and made a big different in his life for those few hours. You’re a fine man and your handled thing much better than I did.
