This post struck a cord with me. My dad, my son, and I like to go to Scatter Creek to do some pheasant hunting. It is fun for the dog and my son, whose in his first year hunting, and gets my dad and I out instead of sitting at home. Usually if we arrive at a gate and someone else is there we always ask them which way they planned on going and then set up from there. Yesterday the older gentlemen at the gate said he wanted to take the corner and push straight out into the field, so we went out the gate and to the left of him. Three younger guys showed up at the last minute, threw on their gear, and proceeded into the field taking over the corner the older gentlemen said he wanted to hunt. No "Hey which way are you guys going?" just a curt "How's it going" from one of the guys while his two buddies moved into the corner of the field. The older gentlemen looked at us and my dad told him we would move down, so he could hunt. I think he was a little more than dismayed. I know its a pheasant release site and a lot of people want to "run and gun", but what happened to a little common courtesy?
