[QUOTE="Dennis, post: 5699214, member: 20424"] I’m not in this situation, but as I am not one to roll over when I am in the right legally, this is how I would handle such a situation. I would establish expectations prior to hunting, I would print out the AG guidance, which is online and easily understood. I would call the game warden next and invite them out to the property. I would explain the way in which I intended to shoot and with what weapon. I would get agreement that it it a safe shooting situation in writing. Then I would call local law enforcement and tell them of my intent to hunt. I would record every conversation. If they said they would not allow it, I would ask for that also in writing . My next step would be to take this evidence to the local district attorney. Again I would record everything on a tape recorder and request any decision in writing. If the D.A. was not helpful, I would take all the evidence to the state attorney general. The A.G. will be in your side. After all that, I would hunt it. If anyone harassed me including local law enforcement, I would immediately sue and also insist that the warden issue hunter harassment tickets. And I would never, ever back down. But I’m one stubborn SOB. [/QUOTE]
