Rick, take a look at the link I posted. I witnessed these things personally, I sat in a very hostile woods with this element of people breaching the perimeter at will. Its mountainous and was a large tract covering several hundred acres, a nice herd of whitetail and some really nice plots to hunt over, besides the woodland areas which were also really nice.
There is a hidden inference in this article, when he says he was threatened, he was. Having been well trained, one of the first things he did was infiltrate this element of people, such fools, they openly ran their mouths with opinion and open threats as to what to do about the guy that bought the old H....er place, I witnessed it first hand by doing the same thing he did. Those people were good at hit and run, and ambush, I'll give them that, but they had loose lips and is why one of them did get arrested, but then the barn was burned and it just kept getting worse.
They could not accept that this land had a new owner and one that portrayed himself like Mr. Rogers, soft spoken, reserved, quiet, a poor forlorned landowner beset by a bunch of bullies if you will, he came across like that to make you feel complacent and off guard, all of it for a reason. You won't see the other side coming trust me.. its just surprising that none of them got to experience what he could have done, the man lives and breathes for these things too, but apparently took a different stance. I think it was to let the line out and let them take the bait where possible. One did get arrested.
Situation shows the worst of people and its entirely sad. I mention it because at some point there is danger and a person never wants to be in a risky situation over nonsense like this, all of it childish.
Reason I mention this is, there is a very real other side of this that is not just a bunch of exaggeration.
Given that more people live near this place, I have very little problems, where the place mentioned is in the article is very rural and it is like dodge city, so much for the rural life eh ?
I've run into some ornery drunks in the mountains north of here, all with firearms, one of which incited a reaction to take cover and observe their camp, needless to say I do not hunt public lands or way up north any more, no fun when you walk through a group of 12 drunks, with one running his mouth about having your back tag on, ( in the adirondacks I guess you don't need to wear one, so I came across as a city slicker )
A well armed and capable city slicker, I knew what was out there and "dressed accordingly" never again, these people are out there trust me.

Today's Featured Article - The 8N and the Fox - by Zane Sherman. Dec. 13 1998, Renfroe, Alabama. Last niht I dreamed about the day that I plowed the field of about 10 acres over on what Jimmy and Dandy called the Ledbetter field. I was driving the 1948 8N Ford tractor that Jimmy bought in 48 new This was prebably in about 1951 and maybe even befor the house was built. This would have made me to be about16 years old and I drove the tractor for nothing and would have paid to drive it if I had had any money which I didn't, but neit
