Smile, say have a nice day, and pull the trigger
I dunno, when she says "You guys are a-holes," the first reply in my mind was, "Well, yer dog sure seems to like us." :)
Take a giant crap in her garden.
Well in Ontario it would be illegal to do what she did. They have video proof so I would report her and have charges laid. They handled it well which frustrated the crackpot even more, too funny.
Or, my buddies and I would have held hands, danced around and sang happy birthday, yellow submarine or some other random song to watch her head explode in frustration.
I heard from the proprietor of Gun Mart years ago they has a similar situation near Brockville during Turkey season....lady went out with pots and pans and walked thru the field a couple of hunter had set up their decoys in.
They called the OPP and they showed up while she was in the 'act"....she was charged and fined.
I think one of the best things you can do in this situation is to take out your cell and call the cops. Let them see that you're doing it. Ask them to wait until the cops get there to sort it out.
It's never happened to me hunting but I did have a guy confront me when doing photography for a documentary project. He was quite irate and demanded I cease & desist, accused me of taking his picture without permission, offered to implant my camera where cameras should not go, and then made a remark about calling the cops. I said, hey, that's a good idea, you can even use my cell. Held out the phone to him and he walked away.
The hunters handled the situation perfectly. As much as I'd love to see a person like that pretzeled and thrown off the property, staying calm and using your brain instead of brawn is unquestionably the right decision.
A friend and I were on a bunny hunt on Public Land in early Feb of this year and after firing at a fleeing cottontail we had an irate fella start screaming at us from approx 200-250 yds behind us. He marched all the way over to us with his 2 dogs demanding to see our licenses and a slew of other nonsense screaming the entire time. When I politely stated he had absolutely no authority to demand to see licenses from us and that he's interrupting a legal hunt he closed the distance of the last 40 yds like he was going to start throwing punches. To make a long story a little shorter I managed to talk him down and in the end claimed he's actually a bow hunter and that he apologized for having an emotional response, and said "you guys look like you know what you're doing and good luck". In the end I kinda felt bad for the guy as you could see in his eyes there was nothing going on in his head....only emotion(s). Just a wide eyed screaming face. What a rush though, lol.
I hunt the eastern section of the Ganaraska Forest several times over the season and usually run into folks like that a couple of times a year. It's best to let them blow themselves out,wish them a good day and ignore them. They only embarrass themselves usually in front of family and friends and I just love leaving them with egg all over their face.
rcmp do run in ontario... mostly in ottawa area though... but i do believe that the hunters did the best thing they could... film her and ask her to leave politely the way they did... they get my thumbs up
