Chief Grey Bear Posted April 22, 2011 Author Posted April 22, 2011 Thanks, Chief for going to meet the good Sheriff and setting him straight. Sounds like you really had him on the ropes with all your legal precedents and internet signatures and what not. Now come down off that cross before Good Friday arrives, we got some eggs to dye and hide in Mr. Praters back 40. Jealousy will get you nowhere son.

ness Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 I would say that's an ideal outcome. Well done, Chief. Who's got a right to what is important, but keeping the peace is too. Sounds like he knows how to do both. John
Al Agnew Posted April 22, 2011 Posted April 22, 2011 Good news, Chief...sorry I didn't get my name added to the list before the thread was locked. I was unable to get back to the computer until late that night. I hope that any of us on here will be willing to do what Chief and the guys did whenever and wherever this problem crops up.

jdmidwest Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 Nope So what was the issue then? Somebody asked you to leave private property and? "Life has become immeasurably better since I have been forced to stop taking it seriously." — Hunter S. Thompson
Trout Commander Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 And it wasnt private property. Some people are not smart enough to comprehend that. I have spent most of my money on fly fishing and beer. The rest I just wasted. The latest Trout Commander blog post: Niangua River Six Pack
FishinCricket Posted May 2, 2011 Posted May 2, 2011 So what was the issue then? Somebody asked you to leave private property and? They approached us the first time when we were standing on a small island midstream (public property according to the Sheriff) fishing and asked us to get back in our boats and stay in our boats. So we all got back in our boats. (even though, according to the Sheriff, we aren't required to..) Then their "friend/neighbor/whatever" approached us again, less cordially... Then the landowner approached again, less cordially and began to harass us because "some of us have been told before"... Then he brought back the deputies who (contradictory to what their superior officer said) insisted that we were not allowed to set foot out of the boats... Then (with the deputy present) the landowner continued to harass and intimidate me and my friends, threatening to have us arrested and claiming that he's warned us once "He was trying to be nice" and we'll "be in a world of hurt if we keep it up". Seems like, if it were only the landowner pestering us it would just be unethical, but with the landowner, an armed "assistant" and two deputies all harassing us and spouting falsehoods is probably bordering upon illegal, isn't it? Either way it was unnerving... What about this isn't clear to you? Imagine how a floater who's found this creek in the "Missouri Paddlers Guide" would feel? I don't want anyone else to have to go through that... And we were simply floating.. Heaven forbid someone were camped out on a gravel bar with a fire going... I'm sure this guy would try to have you arrested for defacing private property!! cricket.c21.com

So JD is asking questions, and your answers are less than nice, Have you got a hard on against people who weren't there are trying to ask questions to gey clarity on the subject? i think you're getting grumpy in your old age "Honor is a man's gift to himself" Rob Roy McGregor
