[QUOTE="Jogeephus, post: 716738, member: 4362"] Angie its just cause I'm a bad a$$ SOB that has that look. :lol2: (just kidding) Seriously though, I think people who have something to loose are a lot different than dealing with someone has nothing to loose. This "hunter/poacher/trespasser" might be stupid in some respects but most of them are law abiding people who get a Daniel Boone type hair up their buts come hunting season. Many, and I suspect this guy is falls into this category, have careers and families and are nothing like the hardened criminals that you have to deal with who have no respect for the law. Granted he could have been one but this was not probable - after all we have laws that don't allow felons to carry firearms so no felon would be able to go hunting. ;-) (sorry, couldn't help myself) The Why of it is that he knew he was wrong and he would not produce any ID or a hunting license so I told him I was taking his rifle and told him how he could get it back. I remained firm but calm and didn't threaten him. I was taught it is very important to remember that a caught person's adrenaline is running high so you gotta be careful till it subsides. In summary, I simply caught him and he knew he was caught. From there it was just a pure concession of defeat with no humiliation. He knew the rules, he knew he was breaking them and he was willing to pay for his transgression. What else was he to do? Allow his crime to escalate into something else? Highly probable with a felon but not with a normal person one who stands to actually loose something. I normally would have called the warden but I left my radio at the house and that is the only way I know to get him unless you call Atlanta. [/QUOTE]
