Default Wow what a day (anti hunter run in)

So it was a beautiful day in Kananaskis so I decided to go check a trail camera with my mountain bike and my dog. On the way to 406 I saw I piece of ridgid foam on the road so I stopped to pick it up. Wingnut comes screeching to a halt slides his truck up beside mine. I figure he is going to ask me if I needed help. He doesn’t role down the window just stairs. His huge ass dog hung out the back window ready to kill me. He then floors it driving down to the next approach. I start driving west to Kananaskis he flies out of the approach tries to hit me in my truck as I pass. Then proseeds to fallow me 15km to my spot that I am going to start biking. Blocks me in starts whistling at me gesturing me to get over to him. We argue about hunting and regulation and public land he tries to say I’m poaching and there is no hunting season open right now for 7 minutes. He threatens to let his two dogs out to tear my dog apart and my balls off. Then he gets right up in my face and I smell he has been drinking. Once I ask him if he has been drinking he says he has a .375 waiting for me if I come to his house, he says bring it on and drives away like a wingnut. Now I have to drive back out after him to get cell reception to call 911. Anyways RCMP today where solid A+ Gentlemen with my situation. I thank them for there service as they had to respond to a acreage with a guy threatening he had a .357 and was aggressive enough to use it.

I bet this guy hunts the area and thinks he owns the land. I hope the guy gets some help because it sounds like he needs it. Glad you are okay and that nothing worse happened.

I kept as calm as I could be. There where a few choice worlds. No dash cam. I don’t think this guy was ever a hunter he was making no sense with what he was spouting out about no open seasons and there is no bird season in
K-country. He kept repeating the he was trying to save this pristine place from people like me killing animals.

That's crazy. Nice way to enjoy a trip out.

Hope the RCMP catch up to this goof and you don't have to run into him again.

He first got it in his head that I was hunting when I was pulled over picking up the stuff off the road. I guess he thought I was shooting at something or looking at something. Then the chase was on for him, he was bound and determined to show me what he thought. Then when I was out of the truck I had kinda natural Colour clothes on and I had my dog, GSP that he was admit that I had Duke the dog trained to hunt down bears. Then he got into why would I want to kill a bear and on and on with all kinds of nonsense that there is no bear season and I am poaching and he is going to report me. Blah blah blah there was no telling him anything a tried to show him the game guide numerous times but he wouldn’t leave his truck because his defence against me doing something was pulling the handle and letting his dogs out. So he didn’t get to far from the back truck door. And he was wrong anyway I wasn’t hunting I was out for a bikeride with my dog to check trail cameras. But a guy is going to talk **** about hunter I am going to let him hear my opinion on him.

This type of crap is totally unacceptable at any level. Though your episode was a little more intense by the sounds of things, we should all be playing the harassment card at even the slightest bit of unnecessary confrontation.

Very interesting story.

Do you think this might be the same guy that has been trying to poison your dog, or perhaps a friend of that buddy of yours that ran off with $4,000 dollars worth of your hunting gear?

It would make some sense if it were one or the other. At least we already know that they are out to get you.
Seems a bit far fetched that a third person would join in this vendetta against you.

Of course it could be entirely true. But if so it may be wise to ask yourself why you are the target for so many nut cases.

The Dog poisoning case was not just targeted at me a few yards had been poisoned. The guy that borrowed and sold my stuff was once a buddy that I trusted and lost everything with a divorce and booze and I tried to help out he lives 3.5 hours away. The wingnut that had the fit over me being a hunter was a drunk and thought he Owns all the public land because he lives next to it. There are lots of cases of this stuff happening. I just put it up so people are aware that’s it’s out there. If you live in your own little world and never leave home or do anything you probably won’t run to crazy. Just drive though Calgary you will see crazy a few times in one trip. Work in public serve and dealing with crazy is your full time job. Let me know if you want some I will send some your way as my crazy people quota is getting full.

Yeah I know it's crazy around the big cities. I get down that way a few times a year as I'm sure you know.

Maybe it's my personality or just luck but I meet a lot of good people in and around those southern cities. In visiting them over a forty plus years time span I have not met even one nut case.

In fact the only real nut case I know about is a frequent flyer right here on AO. You might know him. He lives down around Calgary I believe.
Maybe he's the dude putting out poison for your dog.

He's kinda ugly, quiet stupid and thinks he's smarter then most. And he loves telling tall tails about bad dudes messing up his day.

Sounds kinda familiar doesn't it?
