These occurrences have all happened inside the boundries of my property.
One time I walked up on a guy cutting a downed tree out of the old, overgrown two track to the back of property. As I walked toward him he noticed me and stopped cutting but with the saw still running yelled at me I was tresspassing on private property. When I continued to walk toward he started toward at me kind of aggressively but suddenly stopped and took a more passive demeanor. Never having seen the guy before I decided to have some fun with him. I asked "Are you the owner?" to which he admitted he wasn't. I asked him "Do you know who the owner is?" He said no but his FIL lived on the adjacent property and was good friends with the owner. I asked him "Does the owner let you cut wood here?" Yeah, he said, as long a it's down. I said "Do you know the owners name?" to which he replied no, he's from downstate somewhere. I finally had enough and said "Well I know the owner and he's not from downstate, he's from northern Michigan and you're talking to him. As far as your FIL, I know who he is from the last time I took his treestands off the property and uncerimoniously dumped them in his driveway." (To be fair the FIL had asked for and gotten permission from me to maintain a hiking path back onto or property to exercise after he had a heart attack.) The guy with the saw got really sheepish then. We talked for a few more minutes and told him it was okay to remove the tree from the trail. I was going to have to do it anyway but under no circumstances did they have permission to cut ANYTHING else.
As I turned to continue to make my way around the property to look things over he said " That's a nice pistol you have there" Quite honestly I had completely forgot I was wearing my pistol open carry as I approached him. His sudden change of demeanor as I approached now made sense to me. I chuckled about it as I continued on ( I still smile thinking about it) but I still wonder what might have transpired if I hadn't been packing.
I will say, I haven't had any issue with that neighbor since.
