Actually I'm getting some of that crap myself. Most recently I was called a C@#T and douchebag.

I did check into the Internet death threats a couple of years back when a member here threatened me. The local sheriff said there wasn't much that could be done unless the person physically showed up. That doesn't seem quite right to me.

I honestly did offer some guy from Chicago to buy him a plane ticket, I was really upset with some of his threats against my loved ones.

However, its not going to accomplish anything! So from now on, I'm turning them over to law enforcement.

Corey's wife texted me this morning and wanted the screen shot from my FB message, where this clown just threatened me. Corey has a team of guys working with him on all the threats he's getting, so they are gonna look into this guy for me too.

Would you be so kind as to be in Zimbabwe the 1st part of May so that I may send you some "threats" until you offer to send me a plane ticket to Zimbabwe. I would prefer Harare so I don't have to shuttle from Vic Falls
I'll start practicing on 4 letter words to use
thx bro - gonna save me a bunch of money

Unfortunately, unless the recipient of such a message has a clue as to who sent it, it is very hard to prosecute. If we know who probably sent the message, it isn't just too difficult to subpoena the records necessary to make an arrest. But getting the custodian of those records under subpoena to testify in court (you can't just put the records into evidence in a criminal trial) is generally prohibitively expensive

I think Corey and Ivan and Aaron and many others are representing our 10 percent exactly like they need to and these folks that are posting the hate and profanity on the side of anti-hunting are hurting their cause more than they realize. People that don’t share a strong for or against passion tend to make their judgments on an issue on what they see and hear from those who represent each side. Right now we have the high ground because we are rational and articulate and backed up by proof. No matter how good we think it would feel—we need to resist any urge to say or do anything that brings us down to the level of the animal rights activists. We have and need to keep the moral high ground in this fight. Every threat they make undermines their cause with the vast majority of people. Don't forget that.

Aaron,

We've crossed swords before and then come to terms as gentlemen. I understand that all of us have a natural reaction to respond to a threat in kind. But, while most of these people are probably total pussies that will back down when faced with "getting their ass kicked", some may be total nut jobs.

I would urge you to report any threat to law enforcement. Even if they don't have enough to prosecute, in the unfortunate event something did happen, it would be documented. To be blunt, it might help solve your murder, or it might get you off if you were forced to inflict serious bodily harm on someone else.

Aaron,

You mentioned that Corey has a team of people working with him on this. Does he have anyone helping out with his FB page?

The page has some issues. He has thousands of comments on his page and a good portion of these comments are garbage. Hate filled, death threats, vulgar, trouble causing, etc, etc. Comments that should, as Ivan put it, be deleted/banned/reported as they add nothing to a discussion…

If he needs/wants help with his FB, I would like to volunteer. I am a computer geek that loves to hunt. Did 22 years in the Marine Corps and am now in my mid-50's. I have been on FB for over three years and I am familiar with a running a page and know what's required. I believe that we can have civil discourse with those that disagree with us, but have no problem dealing with those that don't get with the program.

Having said the above, whether it's me or someone else, he needs to get someone working on the page. He has a chance to do some good things with it.
