Conflict management course

Looks like someone is jumping on the bandwagon to capitalise on others misfortune.
No conflict management course is going to help, it's been said above, keep calm and don't rise to the bait. Over 20 years experience working in the security industry has shown no course has ever helped prevent conflicts.

If at all possible avoid contact with the public when out stalking irrespective of their legal right to be there unless clearly engaged in illegal activity. Yes, it’s possible they may be sympathetic to your persuit and even freindly if you do speak to them but I would still rather be as invisible as a poacher hopes to be than take the chance of unwelcome dialogue.
On the very few occasions I have seen a member of the Public or even Members of the Estate Club in the woods, I’ve thrown myself into a bed of bracken rather than engage with them.
Rightly or wrongly it’s just my way and I’ll not be changing it now I’m well past 60.
And for the record I don’t get all wound up based on my right to be in said woods with a rifle.

Had an unwanted experience last Friday - out with a trainee and few deer around due to heavy use of a military training area. Spotted an ideal cull animal for this trainee’s first cull but was overlooked by a well used public path. Inevitable result, a bobble hatted vegan hover into sight just after we’d done the gralloch. Initially quite confrontational (she was actually committing trespass into an active danger area to confront us) but as I explained who were were, what we were doing and why, especially in the context we were, she relaxed and became genuinely interested in what we were doing. Could have gone either way but we had all of the rights to be doing what we were doing and she went away better informed and better assuaged than at first I feared.
This is the world we work in and it’s not going away - explanation, education and grounding as to why, and especially that the carcass was not going to waste, works wonder. Body language is important and admittedly I got it wrong initially but work with it, adapt the approach and reinforce. We need more customers for our highly undervalued and misunderstood product.
This all day long. We had this twenty years ago. Try doing conflict management with irate slaughtermen. It doesn't work. Most of the time when both parties are left to sort it out and it can be done amicable, Then we can do it all over again tomorrow.
We had a woman shouting at as while long-netting "give them a ****ing chance"
We do madam but not much of one...
Never a truer word

Courses for courses sale, if there is a heated dispute and the police are thinking about talking your guns are you really going to whack out a certificate 
I know it's to stop it getting to that stage but that's when common sense comes into the situation

And be quick to realize things are going to go south and just walk away
You could have made a fortune with that… throw in a lunch and charge double

You sound like you could do with some assertiveness training, I’m sure there’s a course for that.
I think I’d rather spend the money on a body cam
I was having a discussion with my buddy on the way back from foxing the other night.
We are both in construction, have tickets coming out of our ears for everything which is seemingly common sense, and have to renew them every 3 or 5 years.
None of these tickets are for something that is designed to kill.
Yet with no real training or certification we get to hold a firearm.
Bonkers when you think about it really.

A classic. A lady walking on footpath but letting her dog run in and out of woods. We were parked up near a footpath sign and one field from ewes about to lamb. Excuse me Madam can you read pointing to sign saying keep dogs on lead. "I'll let my dog go where it wants". " But those sheep are about to lamb I said at least get your dog on a lead and stick to the path."I will walk where I want you stupid man" and she deliberately went off the path letting her dog hunt along next to the sheep.
A very good job for her that my daughter in law was not with us I think we may have had to phone for an ambulance.
Always remember.hold your temper and feel sorry for mentally disturbed people as the asylums have all closed.
