Its sounds like they rolled out of bed earlier and beat them into the spot!

I hope you gave the rookie hunters a helpful lesson... We all know that most people learn by the experience of screwing up a few hunts.  I realize it is frustrating, but then again we were all rookies at one point in time.  Congrats on a successful hunt and a great bull.

  Everyone has to learn somewhere.  We have all had hunts messed up by people that arent completely aware of what is going on around them, but that is hunting.

I'm not claiming to be any kind of pro but I feel pretty good about my the choices I make when it comes to respect for other hunters.  I was glassing a clearcut at first daylight when two hunters walked behind me, I make it very clear what's going on.  They give me the nob and continue on.  With the herd below me and across the hillside the "rookie" hunters head along the ridge and into the thick loud noisy clearcut with the wind blowing right at their backs and down the draw where the elk were.  Needless to say the elk bolted and that was that.  I hung out for a few minutes to see if anything else was lingering around and then I hear from the clearcut about where I could see an orange vest a hoochie mama going to town like they were trying to call the herd back.  When I saw the hunters the next day I explained what I witnessed and how they could have done things differently.  They were good dudes just needed some guidance.
