[RJP_R6]

Hi. We've gotten harassed by anti hunters last night in 250. by a man and woman. If this happened to you as well could you pm me please. they were in a dark truck. They told me they've spent all day chasing hunters out. Only problem is were allowed to hunt there.
Thanks Ron

Call the police. It is illegal to interfere with a lawful hunt.

[Og Dumi]

Yeah report it and don't react might be hard to do.. Some people

Get their license and report them to police. It is illegal to interfere with a lawful hunt....at least for now anyway..

[Skybuster]

Interesting. What was their reasoning for chasing you off the property?

[Alberta Bigbore]

That man and woman live on rr211. She is an old correctional officer. Buckmaster and buckmasterjr have been harassed by them as well. Last time I was on 250........ they tried to give me gears. If they do it again I'll pull my card out and have them charged for interfering with a subsistence hunt lol lol lol


Were they in the brownish gold dodge ram with lighter colored fender flares?? I know they have been zipping around in a darker one too.

[Alberta Bigbore]

They are trying to have the area turned into a non rifle zone.. and thier one rcmp buddy is on the same page with them.

If this is in bruderheim natural area, i also had a confrontation with this man/woman. Blonde woman?. If so, call doug winkleman; he is the rcmp officer in the area. his number is 587-337-1680.

[Alberta Bigbore]

They have doug on speed dial though. Lol

[recce43]

If I saw you I'd harass you too, but not because you're hunting.

[Dacotensis]

Isn't Doug based out of Sherwood park?

He's an easy enough guy to talk to.

[Hevishot]

Edited. This was supposed to be in a diff thread!

??? Great news about being harrased ?

Curious - what sort of stuff are they engaging in? Planning on heading up that way in a week or two to a buddy's family homestead property & wondering what to expect.

[RJP_R6]

You can expect to get your life threatened. Just walk away!

[Hat in the Cat]

Might have to start wearing a GoPro as a hunter soon and not to track your hunt.

Pathetic really.

[sns2]

Well, I own land on RR11 and am heading there now. Hope they don't show.

I wouldn't even bother I would be contacting both F&W and the RCMP ASAP however.

Perfect, uttering threats is a criminal act.

They will tell you there is no hunting allowed and they are trying to get the main roads shut down lol. Even if you are on private property they will still pull up to harass you

[NEWB]

Throw this out there for fun... See what they do...

Good gravy, really? Well, put that way I should maybe bring my buddy with me (doesn't hunt, but owns the land). These guys roll up on his property and try pulling something like this & it'd be totally YouTube-able fare. Picture an R. Lee Ermey-sized chewing out, only not so warm and fuzzy.
