Hey guys, I really need some advice from yall. I sent out packets of information with a letter asking for permission to hunt to several landowners in the area. All have said no so far but have been very nice about it except one guy. He left me a voicemail attacking me for hunting saying how could I kill God's innocent little creatures. Do I call him back to acknowledge his response to my letter or just leave it as it is now? Thanks guys!
 
I'd call him back and ask him how much he contributes yearly to the state of Ohio for conservation. Edit... Not that the DNR conserves anything lol

Do you know this guy who is chastising you about killing gods creatures? Haha, if not I would just say screw him, but if it's really eating at you I'd try talking to him in person and explaining that you meant no disrespect and that you hunt the animals ethically and with the up most respect. No sense in burning a bridge if you don't have too, hard to tell how many nice property owners he knows haha

I don't know him personally but I have been contacted by some of his family who own property next to his. They said not this year but they would consider it in the future. I thought about using Genesis 9:3 and asking him if he eats meat and where he thinks it comes from. Just don't see anyway it could turn out well though with him. He had somemore attitude in his voicemail.

I might just let it go then, especially if some of his family are considering to let you hunt

Ditto. Just let it slide. You're going to meet plenty of idiots in life. If you spend time messing with them that's all you'll do for the rest of your days.
 
If he took the time to call you over it than he is probably pretty opinionated about the subject. I doubt you will change his mind-set any more that he will change yours.
Walk away and spend your time on someone that's a "maybe".
 
What do you get when you argue with a idiot?

Two idiots!!!

Let it go, you have no reason to justify yourself to this person.
 
Great advice so far. I'd say if you do anything, be subtle about it. Print off Genesis 9:3 and Genesis 27:3 on a piece of paper and stick it in his mailbox. If it were me, I'd just let it be...
 
I'd let it go. My question to you is this, did you ask for permission face to face at any time? Not too familiar with anyone ever sending a request in the mail without some sort of personal contact.
 
I wouldn't let it go. I'd watch a few Ted Nugent youtube clips and some of his responses to these clowns. Then I would take the sensible things Ted said, tone it down and use them to explain why you hunt ---- for food! Done right, you may wind up with a place to hunt and a new friend, done wrong, you'll have a short argument.
 
Steven Renelia (don't know how to spell it) has had some great responses to anti hunters as well. Calmly explain your logical line of thinking and you can't lose.

What Jim said here. Spot on. I could share stories at length about voice mail messages like the one you got. People are special.
 
Yes, very good advice here as usual. I once read "Never argue with an idiot, bystanders will not be able to tell the difference"
