Heard Frank (Heavy) Martinez land owner up near Eagle Peak Rd. was arrested for a confrontation with a hunter.....Anyone hear anything about this or just mountain talk?
Hunter vs land owner?

My cousin and I had a confrontation with him a few months back. He is an asshole. We where in public property, he claimed it was his. He told us if we didn’t leave he would have a citizens arrest on us.

hmmm... citizen's arrest on hunters with guns. Probably not the smartest idea....
Hi all, I can say with 110% certainty this is not mountain talk and is a real story. Here is a link to the press release website from the Julian Sheriff sub-station. http://apps.sdsheriff.net/press/default.aspx
I encourage anyone who has had problems in the past with property damage, theft, or confrontations in the Eagle Peak area (or specifically with this individual) to contact Deputy Rembold (listed in the press release). It is encouraging to know the Sheriff department is taking events like this seriously and protecting the rights of the public to safely access public lands by taking steps to investigate and hopefully prevent violent confrontations. This situation only ended in a busted lip and bloody nose...this time.
Hopefully this incident will cause us all to think carefully about how to react in a similar situation and shows the importance of knowing where you are at all times and having the maps, GPS, or OnXHunt resources to back yourself up.

I remember this guy from years ago when he would come out and play music from is truck and yell at us (early 90's) I called I DFG and they were scared and did nothing. He"s old and will be dead soon and that will be the end of that until next time..
Thanks for the welcome message...unfortunate that my first post is regarding a negative experience. Hopefully I have some good stories to share in the futureHey Slugsniper…..Welcome to SCH.....
Just read the UT article.. glad there was some justice there. The GPS breadcrumbs is a good tip too. Awhile back a warden was talking with me about some trespassing complaints in the Julian area and so he started staking out the area and stopping suspicious hunters, and added that breadcrumbing your track is good backup for us if there's any investigation.

If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it.
