There's always some crap when hunting other peoples property. I have been hunting a good size of woods and swamp for a buddy going on 3 years now. I have full permission including keys to all the gates. I never have to call ahead and have never had to in the past. My buddy works overseas and is gone for 30-90 days at a time. He had told me in the past that 2 other people had keys but didn't hunt much. In 3 years I never encountered either of them. It's a big piece of property and I mostly hunt far back in the swamp on the ridges anyway. When we knocked off this afternoon me and one of my hands decided to go shoot some woodducks. We finished our hunt and headed back to the truck. As We turned the last curve of the trail we could see lights around my truck. As we get closer we were greeted by a sheriffs deputy gun drawn and light in our eyes. We had to go through the whole ordeal. Raise your hands, do you have Any other firearms on you besides the ones on your back? Are the guns loaded? Is there one in the chamber? He then removed our guns from us. All the while pointing his pistol right at my face. After that he Made us get up against the vehicle where we were frisked. Then another series of questions. What's your names? Do you know who owns the property? Do you have permission to be here? ( keep In mind my truck is parked behind a locked gate). So I tell him the owners name and he makes me call him. I get no answer. He calls a guy over from across the street. I know the guy but not from the property. The deputy ask him to call the owner. He gets no answer either. The guy starts telling the deputy nobody else has permission to hunt there but him and the owner. They are suppose to be the only ones with keys so the deputy should just go ahead and arrest us. (I really think the deputy thought about it. Don't forget now my truck is parked behind a locked gate that we had to unlock to pass through! Just as the deputy is finished thinking about slapping the cuffs on us the other guys phone rings. It's the owner. The deputy talks to him and gets the all clear. This has me floored tonight. #1 I don't take kindly to be harassed when I'm doing everything perfectly within the law and # 2 I don't like any goberment official removing my gun from when I ain't did a thing wrong.

End RANT!!

Sounds like they definitely overreacted by having guns drawn and POINTED at you.
Sorry you had a crappy afternoon.

Next time you see the guy that was trying to get the cops to arrest you he needs to hear a piece of your mind.

Feel free to walk in our shoes and see who overracts! I love how the deputy was called to the scene, but yet he is the bad guy here. He didn't just pick this piece of property to drive to, get out, and wait for TWO armed subjuects. He was called there and has TWO guys with guns. Yes, they were hunting, but how does he know that????

4 points of view:

From sheriff's standpoint:
2 armed subjects + unknown vehicle + NIGHT time = I would be a little more 'edgy' in the sheriff's shoes. No written permission, they tried to call landowner and no answer, so they were just following procedure

From MarshRats standpoint:
Didn't really do anything wrong or at least anything he hasn't done in the past, the unknown vehicle is what prompted this. Probably should have had written permission OR if his buddy would have answered the phone 1st time it would have been cleared up quickly

From W's standpoint:
Doesn't matter, the weirs are open so don't care bout nothing else

From MathGeek's standpoint:
This is clearly a violation of Amendment X,Y,or Z and the sheriff's department should be sued and held accountable for harassment and badges should be taken away from them. They should be tarred and feathered publicly as this is clearly an example of DRACONIAN SANCTIONS!

He didn't do anything wrong at all. Give me a break. This is nothing more than another case of over zealous law enforcement.

I have nothing but respect for law enforcement and agree that being on guard is always the safest bet.

However, I have always been taught not to point a weapon at something that you didn't want to shoot. A gun can malfunction or a loud noise could have startled the officer and then this thread would have never been started.

I don't fault the officer for being ready and even having his weapon drawn. But pointing a weapon (empty or loaded) at a person who is not being aggresive in the least bit is not right.

No crap I found it really funny that the two people accusing me of trespassing were the ones on the outside of a locked gate.

File a complaint for making a false report. The man who made the false report put you in danger, and he manipulated law enforcement in order to do it.

Wanna know how good I know ol' boy? Im one of 3 electricians in town. I have to go through him all the time when working on services. The fact that he knows me so well pisses me off the most. He only knows my gmc and not the Chevy so didn't recognize it.

and him callin the cops was a cowardly thing to do.

My buddy who owns the property did not have a problem with it. I can see your point if you would be worried about lawsuits and such.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems logical that only the owner of the property has the right to press charges on someone for trespassing. I think the ole boy and his buddy officer were just trying to get you off the property. No telling what the ole boy is doing on the property, without the owner's knowledge, while he is overseas. May be a good grow in them woods. Or a little shine operation. I would go searching. What took three years to finally cause this issue? There's always something else to the story.

One of the first things the deputy told me was the guy that takes care of the property contacted us and said there was an in known truck on the property.
