The altercation happened on provincially owned property leased to an energy company and located northeast of Mr. Ludwig's land. Mr. Ludwig said the scuffle broke out shortly after he went to the property with his wife around 7:30 p.m. to "peacefully" talk to the workers.
Mr. Ludwig said the men falsely accused him and his sons of leaving nails on nearby roads and then started threatening him. Eventually, one man charged and hit him, he added.
Mr. Ludwig said that two of his sons, who were hiding in a nearby bush, then joined in the fight, and that the entire incident was audiotaped by his wife.

Apparently he was appraoching these oil workers for a 'peaceful conversation.' Hard to believe when two of his sons were hiding in the bushes and his wife had an audio recorder.
