are you talking about the OP? Someone threatening to shoot someone is NOT getting talked down to

If they pulled a gun they were wrong instantly and you call the law. If they just complained amongst themselves about someone coming right in on them and fishing that Is different.

Hard to judge either but if you were 2nd into the pocket, and close enough to Clearly hear them “mumbling” amongst themselves, maybe you were in the wrong and were too close. Not sure why you got angry that they were bothered by your encroachment. And by your own story they didn’t engage you. You simply overheard them mumbling to each other.

This is the problem with “growing” the sport. We’re packed in like Sardines. The people who want to grow the sport are the ones with financial ties to it.

Mentioning anything about a weapon is a receipt for disaster even if they had good reason to be annoyed. I error on the side of caution if any doubt in my mind about space. Don't see any reason to push it. If I see other fisherman on the boat ramp I hope they view me as a good dude. I launch and load by myself and that slows the process when ramps are busy. One run through a cove isn't worth creating tension. Just my way, doesn't mean you didn't have the right to be there. I would have left as soon as I realized they were annoyed and I would not have enjoyed fishing knowing they were annoyed by me.

So nobody ever pulled a gun on OP? He just overheard them say something about a gun? I asked earlier if he had a gun pulled on him why he did not notify the proper authorities.

Interesting if he overheard them talking amongst themselves, yet he is so spun out and convinced they are after him.
Possible case of snowflakiiness

Holy cr*p. So sorry to hear that.

I bet skeet shooting is a safer activity....

I live on a small lake. Really too small for tournaments. But there's one every Thursday evening. Many times I have been down on my dock fishing and a tournament boat will pull up and start fishing like I'm not even there. Many times they have crossed right over my line. They run right next to the dock to get to the creek. Both of the lights on my dock have been broken off. I have fished hundreds of tournaments in my lifetime, and always treated people with respect. I think the difference is that many of today's tournament anglers don't know some of the unwritten rules of etiquette, or just plain old common sense. We definitely do live in a ME ME ME society.
