let me tell you a short story about P.e.t.a. People. About 20 years ago I was deer hunting on my land (posted accordingly). The time was just after day break and i was seated in my blind when I started hearing car dooors being slammed, pots and pans banged together and just outright load noise.
I was able to see (with my glasses) a group of folks standing by the road and I knew instantly who they were. After a few moments I noticed that this group started to approach and then enter my property. They proceded. What a mistake.
Little did they know that there was my 2 brother-inlaws and myself in the woods. Little did they know ( nor I ) that my wife was awaken by the noise and that she called the police.
At this point I sent a signal to my brother in laws and once we got together we came up with a plan. 2 of us started towards them while the other went around the side and he came out behind them. All 3 of us had weapons in hand. My wife came out and said the police were on there way. We kept them in a corral formation. I was P O'd and had no tollerance for this kind of folks. My wife went back in and called the police and told them what the 3 of us had done and the position we were ready to do.
Sirens in the distance heard , and seconds later the police and a DNR officer was on site.
Peta people said we threaten them with thier lives and a couple of them became real, real ****y with the officers. Big Mistake for them.
all of them were citted for tresspassing and for disturbing the peace. One of them was arrested because he spit upon an officer.
The DNR officers told me afterwards that this was not the first time he encounter this group and that a few of them had been cited several times for tresspassing. He informed me that my property was properly posted and he is out there trying to protect my rights for hunting.
These peta people are from the big cities and they come out to the "sticks" to do thier thing, thinking that we are a bunch of uneducated, untallented, unskilled Hicks. I guess me being a paramedic, & my wife a cardio vasscular lab tech fell into that sterotype... That is fine with me. I'm a country boy and enjoyed living out there.
Shortly after the incident was over we back to hunting, and within 30 minutes my one bro-in-law shot a nice 8 point.
Funny thing happened about 3 weeks later, my partner and I responded to heart attack. Upon arrival we discovered we were at a p.e.t.a. meeting. I recognized a couple of them from being on my property that day however it wasnt untill I went to start the I.V. when someone in the crowd recognized me. I told the man that he was going to feel a "prick"... yup he sure did. I cant tell you how good Im felt inside
