Fishermen Harassment Thornapple lake . this guy came from across the lake 1000 ft . 

Exactly correct

Agreed 👍

If the hunter was there first, which was probably the case. This would be hunter harrasment. He has the entire lake to fish but chooses to come right in front of the hunters? Yeah this fisherman is in the wrong. Have called DNR in minnesota before about this and they ticket the fisherman.

@@joshuakuhne8934 no he is not.

Interference with hunting is also getting in the way like this fisherman. If he only 60 yards for them then he's in range and they cant shoot. So he is Interfering .

Hunted early 80s , corn fields and old farms, now , 5000sq ft houses and taxes blue collar can’t afford. It’s getting harder man Thanks for your service George, Son of a vet

So sad George seems so true

Amen brother. You hit the nail on the head. Simple life style has been sold out in the name of development. Makes us begin to understand a tiny bit, what the Indians were faced with.

@@michaelboykin9881 If you only knew read the book "all the real Indians died off" if you want

Lots of WW2 and Korean War vets had issues with Vietnam vets and felt the previous generation had the best of what America used to be before you were a young buck in 1969, meanwhile your generation was progressing and some old timer was like I can’t believe this guy is at my lake, “I remember when there were no houses on this lake here” now this Vietnam woos is entitled to it! It’s like music, if you grew up during a certain time the music between 15-25 years old was the best no matter how old you are now. A kid being born next month will complain about young people when he is 80. We can’t help it, it’s human nature.

@Mr.Joetatoehead it this exaggerate sense of entitlement.

Some one should put a "thornapple"🍍up this guys yang. ☯ Hunters son has a mullet. Figures. Who's to say that the hunter won't get hooked from being too close?

I'm retired and may been out there every day to see how those hunters were doing. Perhaps had a nice chat as well!

how would he know their there they were camoflauged so well

Bottom line is the hunters are in the wrong hunting that close to those houses are the Going to ask those people to move there houses just so he can kill something cause we all know hunters have tiny dicks abd that's why they feel the need to kill something go buy ur food like the rest of the world stupid hillbillies

Huh? How is that rude. Well fisherman aren't gonna get in trouble if they got shot at even by accident know where your pointing your gun. There's no excuse as to why you'd point your gun toward the lake period.

When I hunt migratory birds you won't see me on the bank . And if someone is using nature like I am I don't complain . I just wait until they pass by . It's not hard to shoot around a boat . I hunt beside people and if the bird flies by them I don't shoot . Pretty simple .

Yeah, 👍 the rig was truly some sick shit 🤣

@@AASIDJAALO My cousin and I built a tree house when we were 9 that was fairly comparable in craftsmanship.

Shut the fuck up pussy if ur close to duck hunters ur scaring our birds, them duck hunters ain’t killin shit out of that thing but I’d still throw this stupid old fisherman cuck off his boat if he tried to stay a long

@@fishingallure3672 😂👍👌

I see 2 idiots

Yep. That duck hunter was an ass.

Sec. 62.0125

Not true. In most states they are allowed to be on the shoreline in the water and shoot in the direction of the lake. When on land its usually 500 feet from a dwelling. Notice he didnt show how or when he got the spot he is at? If he was intentional getting in their path it can definitely be hunter harassment. If he was there and they pulled up, its their problem. They handled it poorly with the trying to stick to him but I am betting if you saw the whole video he knew what he was doing. If you noticed he was not surprised at all when they addressed him. He got 165,000 views over this so hmmmm?

That's what I've been screaming in the thread. Hes just being a Dick he wasn't hunting there. It's just like countless other wives of doctors I had to deal with on the lake who had no more right to that property then then I did to the water. All they did was spread their legs for some old man and they think they owned the lake

You are spot on!

To many homes to be safe hunting around

Except when you arent chill and you go infront of hunters. This is a very baaic example of hunter harrasment.

@@joshuakuhne8934 Bull spit

@@leesnow1382 No, it's not. The hunters were there first. The old man should have went around. Those guys shouldn't have done what they did, but I get it. Its frustrating when you get up early, get set up, and then have some guy decide he's going to fish where you're at.

@@allenwhitmer8192 He has every right to use the waterway, as much as you do the woods. So suck it up and play nicely and nobody gets accidentally hurt. time to pull up the big boy britches

@@leesnow1382 I never said he didn't. Sure, he has every right. But someone is already there using that area. Etiquette or common courtesy, if you will. Say the fisherman was in an area and some hunters pulled up and started wading out with their decoys right where he was fishing. Is that cool with you, as well? I had some idiot fisherman casting for bass under my goose decoys, is that cool? He said he would leave when he was done. Meanwhile, not a single duck or goose came to my spread while he was out there. I got up at 4 AM that morning, worked my butt off to get everything set up, and here he comes at sunrise. Sunrise for duck hunters is prime time. If he had been there first, I would have given him a wide area, and gone around, because I'm not a dick. I wouldn't want to scare his fish. So get your panties out of the bunch they are in, big boy...also, hunters don't just hunt in the woods. Some do, but some are waterfowlers-they hunt ducks and geese. I've never run across a fisherman in the woods.

I would have thrown the anchor out

Yea u no that

Yep I would shooting in that area the rest of that day

would have been peppering his boat as long as he was there

See doing that just because they made you mad would be hunter harassment. And you would get a ticket most likely. The guy on the pontoon should've said something then left not drive on circles like a dick but the guy fishing should've known better using common sense and shouldn't have been fishing infront of someone actively hunting

Agree they would of only did that to me once !!!!!

Yep for sure

He tried to bully the fisherman off his fishing spot, by making up some semi-legal bullshit. Besides, aren't there laws in America about discharging firearms in close proximity to residential buildings? Those houses/cabins are only a couple of hundred feet away. Someone else would have kicked that hunter's lard arse into the water.

I also enjoy both sports. But in this case I think the fisherman encroached on the hunters. He even said he saw the hunters. It's a big lake and he could have fished elsewhere instead of expecting his right to fish exceeded their right to hunt.

@@terrypostell8098 And conversely, also applies to the hunters. Especially since the fisherman was there first, as they approached from a different side of the lake. They're morons, devoid of common civility and with idiotic expectations of privilege. The disrespectful shits don't deserve the steam off his piss.

Quite the double standard you have working....

@@cuivre2004 not really fisherman can’t harass someone that he didn’t know was there. The hunter knew exactly what he was doing. Same way if your hunting public land and some Jack wagon rides his horse under your deer stand. Don’t like it buy or lease private property!

I guess my question would be where are these hunters shooting when I can see houses right in the background? The houses are not that far away. Maybe they should find somewhere more secluded to hunt. Also, what total jerks with a lack of common courtesy

@@rdbarber72 Believe me, the fisherman knew they were there. Even if they could hide that boat, I'm sure they started standing up and talking so he would know. He would have seen their decoys and I don't care how realistic they are, you can tell decoys from real ducks

shotgun wont shoot bird shot that far@@Justicia007

Gracefully?? The fisherman was a prick. Just a grouchy old fart. They asked him nicely

Actually they are both dickheads....the fisherman because he knew the hunters were set up there. I have had fisherman pull right up and cast into decoys while we hunt. People have no consideration for others. The hunters in the boat had they just shut up the guy would have been gone in 5 minutes. It was rude on both sides and unnecessary. It is just like when out fishing quietly and Jet skiers or water ski boat come roaring by within casting distance. Man and his pettiness on full display.

@@outdoorrn2980 1000' bud is 300 yds +. No way them birds gave a shit about him.

@@outdoorrn2980 a mofo ever cast into my decoys while I’m hunting it will be his last cast.

@@ihomeproservices7040 🤣🤣🤣👌

They both were wrong

@@allenwhitmer8192 nope

You are right, there are far too many homes in the area, where these hunters wish to shoot. All it takes is one round to end up in a house owners body, and the shit flies, regarding shooting and hunting. This is more of a fishing area, not a hunting area. I say fishermen is in the right in this video.

Good point, well made, Doc

@@waynedavies3185 The area being hunting vs non hunting is not the issue. If they are duck hunting, they know they can hunt ducks there- they LIVE there. The issue ios the guy trolling around in front of their decoy sets. And the hunters don't fire rifles at ducks, they use shotguns, so I don't know where a "round" would enter anyone's body.

@@cuivre2004 Very stupid remark. Firearms (whether they are rifle, or shotgun, or even pistol), should never be fired around where people live, I don't care what you say. Stupid move by the hunters. America needs better, safer rules in firearms.

The hunters have every right to be there. They were probably there before thenfisherman even out his boat in the water. This is hunter harrasment by this fisherman. Also to duck hunt you can be right next to people if its ok by them and you are shooting out over the water. Hunted like this growing up my whole life. You are essentially using bird shot and doesnt travel far enough to cross the lake. This fisherman went right into their hunting area. He knows better too.

That's why the hunter didn't shoot him. Just cause you don't like hunting doesn't make the fisherman right. It's common courtesy to yield to the person there first. If people were playing a baseball game would you walk down on the field and start flying a kite? Then tell them it's your right to use the baseball field too.

Ya that struck me as odd, the hunter had no argument as there was a house where the fisherman was at. For hunting I would imagine one would simply not be able to hunt if you could see a house or homes kinda close I would think 🤔

Let's face facts. If the hunter was in the right. He'd have called the cops. Instead he decides to actually harass the fisherman right on camera. Had the cops showed up, what they'd of saw was some hunting dudes purposely doing circles around a guys boat, trying to make him leave. LOL Honestly, they most likely were hunting in a location that was most likely off limits for them to be at hunting, so they didn't want to involve the authorities. LOL

@@mikelachey824 The fisherman was being an a Asshole scaring the ducks away so the hunters scared the fish away. They can't call the cops cause technically it's not against the law for people against hunting to scare the game away. I doubt they were illegally hunting cause someone would have called the cops.

Fishers harassment 🏆

@@getoffyoubassandletsfish8565 exactly

They can both play the same game but the hunters do have the guns!

Your wrong man in boat seen the blind old asshole is in the wrong

And they honestly think the bird shots going to hurt after 100 yd? These guys are delusional and just pissed off because they're assholes.

Over an argument that is complete bullshit. There are residents right behind where the fisherman is hes not going to be shooting that way hes just being a Dick

Common sense, actually

The houses are down range also

Ikr

And loose all fishing and boating and hunting rights and if he had a loaded shotgun on a moving boat Baby he was also drinking

No the fisher was in the wrong. Duck hunters set up hours before sunlight, they where there first.

Yep I'd have anchored up and sat there all day.

Absolutely!!! I might have camped on the water just because 😆

Jumbo Neuteon - No you’re wrong! Does not matter what time the hunters got there. That’s a public body of water that that guy legally has every right to fish. FACT! That hunter owns none of that body of water, and has no legal right to claim any part of it for his own use. FACT! In addition, that jackass idiot obviously does not know what hunter harassment actually is. It involves intentionally scaring off prey that is being hunted. This fisherman did no such thing apparently, but occupy a water spot the hunter felt might interfere with his shots. Tough shit! It’s his responsibility to be mindful where he is shooting. It is not everyone’s else’s obligation to give him the whole lake or even any part of it. That’s the law dumbass! And his supposed “duck blind rig” was a fuking joke! It looked like it was cobbled together by a vocational school drop out! As poorly conceived and fabricated as his understanding of hunter harassment laws. LOL

@@jimboneutron8399 Just because you assume they were there first does not mean they were. The fisherman was not harassing anyone. The hunters were.

If the hunters where there first he should keep a safe distance from them first come first serve Jack

@@gc9298 it looks like a public/multi use lake. So a dumb spot to hunt. You can't expect someone not to fish a whole cove or part of a public lake because there are people duck hunting. If you are a hunter you need to find remote/private areas\ or expect to be bothered.

@@andrewgio1 Exactly!

You might have a couple flat tires on your boat trailer then when you get back to the ramp ....

@@cuivre2004 yeah and you wouldn't of ever came back to that ramp either. I think that would have been worth it.

Birdshot only goes a short distance. Obviously if shot was raining down on someone's house the cops would be called and they would be arrested and hunting would be banned. Suppose you were doing something and someone just came in front of you and got in your way , would you be upset. They might have been waiting 3,4,5 hours hoping some geese would land and then he comes and scares them all away. Do you think this happened by accident. The fisherman did it on purpose.

That’s the rule all over the country. 100ft.

driving a boat close enough to scare wildlife away from a hunter is hunter harassment and carries a hefty fine.

@@puregameplay7916 you’re stupid. Get some damn common sense.

You are correct Jason.

@@269adventures its a fact tho? If someone is hunting, and you operate machinery close enough to spook the gam they are hunting, then you are HARASSING the hunters and interfering in a lawful hunt.

@@xxbodycountxx7626 "No" what?

My thoughts exactly

This fisherman is a dick.. He came in and started fishing right where they were setup to hunt. Very rude person that only thinks of himself.

@@57strub Yes, I agree, if he showed up after the duck hunters. Then he was just being passive aggressive. I duck hunt AND fish. It's not feasible to pull up all your decoys and blind and relocate to accommodate a fisherman, obviously. To us, anyway.

That's the way it should be. Total respect for each other. The small nitch of time that someone moves on by is nothing compared to the hours you spend in the blind.

Im just sick of these bastards.

Great comment. Thank you..

Exactly! Maybe you have the right to fish but good manners says you move on. Same deal with boats and bank fishermen, show good manners just don't crowd folks. It won't harelip ya.

I would agree. He may not have known he was wrong. If he was there first though then the duck hunters should have waited. Maybe went over and said hey. we are going to duck hunt. How long you going to be i this area? I don't know who was here first. I agree a bit of unsportsmanlike conduct on both parts by what is visible.

Patrick Vandyke agreed !! This whole deal is not only childish but unethical and both parties were old enough to know how a sportsman should act/behave. Hunter old enough to know that bright shiny pontoon would flare the dumbest of ducks lol. Live on Ky. Lake middle Tn. and don't Duck hunt anymore rather fish year around. If I or 99.9% of others happen to come up on blind with spread out and they don't show themselves, we either holler or whistle to see if it's being hunted as lots of guys that hunt main lake leave decoys out . It's called respect but more importantly there is a firearm involved and this day and age you just don't know what crazy person do. Hell around here there's very few like these fellas but there's always those that are however far and few between. Must be a regional geographic thing reckon or upbringing.

Exactly.... well said

I think hunters were anchor and buddy pulled up on them they deserve there space

It's true but really we only have 3 months per year to hunt. It's not year around like fishing. There are alot more water bodies that allow fishing but not hunting then there are those that allow hunting. I understand his frustration

@@wholeass83 You make a good point and I agree with you. No reason to get off on the wrong foot though.

@@addamtate1230 yea deffinetly not how I would handle it. I've been there. I always have a back up plan not just for this but for other hunters too.

The fisherman was the rude one. It wouldn't have mattered what the hunter said. I've had fisherman in boats do that to me when fishing from shore just Park there boat right in front of me and tell me there no law they can't be there.

Ya that struck me as odd, the hunter had no argument as there was a house where the fisherman was at. For hunting I would imagine one would simply not be able to hunt if you could see a house or homes kinda close I would think 🤔

So you think, but unfortunately you werent there that morning to know what really happened

@@whitehondarider22 When you hunt, as a hunter you are 100% responsible for knowing what's behind your intended target and IF someone comes along in a boat while you're hunting waterfowl That's it, there's nothing you can do about it. You can't just come out of hiding in your blind where they couldn't see you and demand they leave. They have just as much a right to use the lake as you did. Just like if you build a blind on a lake to hunt from and you get there and someone else in already hunting it you're out of luck. You have no right to kick someone out of a blind on public property, which all lakes are unless completely enclosed on private property. Then again, if there's a navigable waterway(creek, stream river...)leading into the lake, then it's fair game.

Louisiana is 100ft from any dwelling. But for a 1000ft he full shit. Public waters is just that

Ya that struck me as odd, the hunter had no argument as there was a house where the fisherman was at. For hunting I would imagine one would simply not be able to hunt if you could see a house or homes kinda close I would think 🤔

Michigan law states in the 2021 Waterfowl Digest that hunting "must be at least 450' from an occupied building, dwelling, house, residence or cabin, or any barn or other building used in connection with a farm operation. To hunt within a safety zone, you must obtain the written permission of the owner, renter or occupant of the property." Since there is no rearward facing camera we don't know if there even WERE such structures behind the fisherman. That being said, I hunt AND I fish. I'll guarantee those duck hunters were out on the water setting up their decoys & getting settled WELL before daylight. I highly doubt the fisherman had done the same. The flight path of the ducks MAY be coming from the fishermans direction. I've had ducks flare away from my setup cuz of a stinking change in wind. Imagine the ducks seeing a boat between them and the decoys...GONE!!! And I wouldn't doubt the fisherman knew that. If I come across another hunter or fisherman that's ALREADY in an established spot...I APOLOGIZE AND MOVE! The guy fishing was being a passive-aggressive 🐓🍭 and he knew it. "I'm leaving in 5 minutes!" *While never attempting to move* Then using the excuse (BEFORE the hunter started circling) that there are "Fishing harrassment" laws. There most definitely ARE. But how about a little courtesy to who's there first? And WHY tempt getting rained on by shotgun pellets? To prove what point? 🤦‍♂️🤦‍♂️

People are *ssh*les. I've had the same thing happen when fishing from shore. Some ahole in a boat stops right in front of you.. They could go anywhere and you have nowhere else to fish from.. Then they get upset you keep casting right over there head.
