Road Etiquette

I was hunting ditch next to harvest posted harvested corn field. I parked my vehicle where the wheels were just on the edge of the road. Any truck, tractor or farm equipment could get pass me. I was about 1/4 mile from my truck, when a rancher in truck pulling a flatbed trailer stop and ask me if I own that rig up the road. I say yes. He told me I was park illegal that I needed to be park in the turn in. If he saw me again not parked in turn in, he was going to call deputy and have me throw in jail. I told him I been told not to block the approach to a field so landowner could enter if needed. Everything on this road had been harvest. Am I in the wrong or is he harassing me.

That’s an unhappy person. You did nothing wrong.

Agree completely. Had you parked on the field access he would have bitched about you blocking the field. Best to handle just as you did and explain why you parked that way and continue on with your hunt. No upside to arguing but pretty sure if the Sherriff was to come out he would say you did nothing wrong.
 
No roads were dry. I saw him down the road about 1 1/2 miles away picking up hay. I could only picture how mad he would be if I were park in his approach then. I know it would be different story then.
