What to do... if anything

I tend to agree with KyleR1985 as long as you are ok with never hearing from the guy or worse yet getting another negative response.

However, this guy showed you his true colors and wouldn’t be moved by the gesture. I would most definitely not apologize on behalf of anyone but yourself. Perhaps apologize for him having to go through what he has but don’t apologize on behalf of duchebags, ever.

If this guy is half a man, he’ll be moved by your gesture, not apologizing for someone else’s jackassery.
 
Or more. The boundary line for my family’s farm is off by at least 200 yards on OnX. And that boundary has been established and fenced since 1830.
Were we discussing this on Facebook where hunters were claiming private landowners (like you) were trying to "steal" public land based on OnX boundaries? Yet it had to be explained many times that OnX just pulls plat data and imports it into their satellite image which can a lot of times have error.

I have never discussed it on Facebook. The border that is improperly imported on our property is with another private landowner. The border with the National Forest is correct.
 
I'd be careful using OnX as legal or end all be all justification. Its usually right but a lot of times the satellite images do not align with the plat map. Or the actual plat map is georeferenced incorrectly so there are alignment issues. Its common to see disparity of 50+ yards in some areas.
The good thing is that the CO's are using OnX as well, and they are aware we, hunters, are using the best info we have available, and we didn't corner cross to get here, this was a plot that touches the HWY for about 300 yds. But I do agree with you that the boundaries are not always accurate .
 
No because we should never apologize for the actions of other people. Ever. That is really encouraging people pleasing tendencies and doesn’t set a good example for your boys. It would be like sending a gift to a boss at work saying sorry these co-workers suck and i got screamed at for their actions. Make that make sense.

If anything I would press the game warden for hunter harassment again like someone else suggested. Or just do nothing and move on with life.

I see both sides. Perhaps that is why I would advocate for a middle ground solution. Certainly do not send a gift to a jerk. He did nothing to reward generosity. But if you really are intent on extending an olive branch to send a message, a handwritten note might get you there.

"Dear rancher,
We had this interaction. I understand by talking with CO that you realize my boys and I were in the right. I further understand that you apologized to that same CO for your actions. I hope you can see that not all hunters are trespassing slobs. I'm sorry if you've had negative experiences in the past."

If he didn't honestly believe you were in the wrong I can't see him contacting the CO to confess harassing you. Not to justify his behavior. It feels like he honestly thought you were wrong and he was right. The CO set him straight. Your note paints you in the good light you deserve and jerks don't get good whiskey.

I am not a jerk and ALSO like Woodford.
