So I am a member of a hunting club I joined this year. The president sent out a memo that there was to be no joy riding or we would lose the property per the property owner. I am sitting up there Sat evening and hour before dark I hear an engine revving like someone mud bogging and playing in a vehicle. Heard a few holler and shouting carrying on. I finish my hunt and head out to leave. I come out where I have to turn right onto a powerline and drive to the gate and there are probably 10 - 15 folks standing there with 4 or 5 vehicles, one bein and old crown vic interceptor they had painted up covered in red dirt and mud. As I turn 3 or 4 approach asking what I am doing in there and I infromed them I was a member and deer hunting. They asked to see my membership card, these folks you could tell were up to no good and not hunters, much less members and if anything would pass for crackheads. I told em I had no idea who they were and wasn't showing them squat as I head on down the powerline. One of em yelled we the law up here and we own this property. Here comes the crown vic like sheriff Roscoe on Dukes of Hazzard. Flies by me slinging dirt, slides her sideways in front of me almost hitting him. Now I guess the good Lord was the reason I left my pistol with my wife Saturday. The guy jumps out of the vic, while 3 or 4 more come up from my drivers side back about the same time, not sure where the others are. I am basically a sitting duck, cornered in my truck with rifle in passenger seat and knowing if I get that across me it is going to hender me movin at all. Well the guy in the vic, comes to my window, slaps the roof of my truck asking if I want my tail whipped, while the others gathered round. Then one says that's enough back off. Tell them again I am a member and show my card and the one that said back off takes a pic of it and I introduce myself to him. He is like 18 years old semi cleancut. After getting out of there I speak with the club pres and find out he is the property owners son and he calls his daddy. Calls me back and says that he had heard comotion and sent his on up there to resolve the situation. Turns out all the trash folks there were the owners employees and the son joined in with them instead of stopping the issue. Owner was pretty hot and said he would deal with the employees this morning first thing.
I am still pretty hot about this cause had I had my pistol there is no telling how this would have turned out for the guy at my window and/or me. At this point I am 50/50 if I even go back to the property or much less even stay in the club. Have considered calling the owner myself and talking with him in a casual conversation personally. Would y'all advise this? I know apologies don't mean much to some but dog gone it I want a personal apology from the hick that got up in my window and my bubble TBH. God help these hicks when/if they pull this on someone else.
