He never confronted me but did see me and went ahead and came to within a hundred yards of me and set down and started hunting. That being said, I ran the scenario through my head of asking him if he had permission to hunt there and the out come for me didn't seem to good.lol. One reason i am sure the land owner would not want the hassle of dealing with it. If he had permission 10 years ago then maybe its still valid in the states mind I dont know. Confronting a law enforcement officer in the middle of no where with no witnesses even though he is trespassing seemed like a good way to end up in jail or worse. On duty or off doesn't matter he is still a law enforcement officer and I'm sure he could care less what anyone thinks or says, he is going to be right and you are going to be wrong. Who is a judge going to believe? Especially with no witnesses.
Now if the land owner told me to say something to him, I would. But just to the extent that he needed to talk to the land owner, Thats all I would say though.
Like I said before, Its frustrating but I suppose the best thing to do is let the land owner handle it if he chooses to do so. After all its not my land ,all I can do is let the land owner know that he is in there.
