I hate slob hunters that use your hard work to benefit them , its always been one thing that pisses me off
I had that problem but ten times it, as I had about 10-20 guys a yr sneaking in to hunt my food plots, over thge 20 yrs or so I had them there I must have collected about 50 treestands, I always left a note on how to get em back, and left it saying IF they do, expect to be arrested for trespassing! LOL
that and when your set up and some moron decides to climb a tree right next to you, or sit with in a few yards of you/ and they always seem to show up at prime time, when your expecting deer and they just ruin the hunt\
MY clasic encounter here was once on State land I hiked up a long mountain, left 2+ hrs before sunricse to get there long before it and have time for things to settle down
was about 5 mile walk UP hill
there was a large rock on the top, that offered a awesome view, was my planed spot
at about 20 minutes after sun rise I see this orange dot walking towards me, and I KNOW ot seen me, as I too was in all orange ona BIG bolder on the top of a mt
well guy just keeps coming right at me, stoppoing every 5 minutes to ?? or light up a smoke>??
then he gets right to me, and says this
HOW about we sit back to back
you watch the front and I'll watch the back side??
MAN I wish I could shoot people!
I was like WTF< buddy, you just ruined my morning hunt, and now you want to sit next to me and hunt this way???
SO, on that I made the 5 mile walk back down the MT pissed off and left for the day!
I don't know what people be thinking
I prefer to hunt ALONE, and do my best to see I don't encounter others, or hunt there spots
seem's like common respect
a quality I guess too many don't have!
