TREE HUGGING FLOWER SNIFFERS

[WOLFMAN]

I ran into some very rude folks last weekend while bear hunting in the high country.They were the tree hugging,flower sniffing type. It didnt bother me the way they acted but those type think that they own the mountain and hunters shoudnt be up there. Any body else ever have run ins like this.

Given the situation with the shot hiker, you can expect this....tentions will he high. Were all stewards of the land, best to  just be curtious or get off the trails when you see them comming.When I have these encounters i just try to be a positive and respectful as i can, look the hunter screwed up on this, so we have to prove to them it was an isolated event.

It seems like I always run into a few during hunting season but there all pretty nice. You just have to remember there scared of guns. When I was bow hunting the high country they thought it was great because they think its way more of a challenge. You hear things like I never want to see an animal die but if your gonna hunt it should be with a bow. The bottom line is there just scared of guns and don't understand that its not as easy as they think it is with a gun. You just have to be nice and set a good example.

 I have had that experience quite a bit in this state . Where they give you the down the nose look. like what are you doing here? If you get up really early hike in real far and hunt all day you probably won't see them except for their litter of granola bar wrappers. oh yes they litter.

Give em a brake.  The wilderness is for all of us to enjoy.  And, they might be our best allies when it comes to preserving wild areas.

I'm more concerned about development than people walking in the woods.

I'm running into more road hunters, poachers and intoxicated hunters than I do flowerchildren.

Set a good example.

I see them more when I am scouting, then hunting.   But I don't hunt on the trails.   I also had two people come up the road I was on  and tried to make a lot of noise to scare the deer

Ok, I know that I am new to this board and what I am about to say is going to upset some. I am not the kind who really cares though. If you stand for something you are going to make enemies. If you do not stand for something then you are tollerated but hated by all.

I let everyone enjoy the same resources that I am able to enjoy, however I will never stand by and let ANYONE take food off of my table or stand in the way of passing down my heritage to my children.

Do not think for one minute that compromising or backing down from the eko comunists that some how you are showing them how good you are or setting a good example. They have nothing to loose and everything to gain. They want to take it all away from you, and when you have nothing and win a small compromise it is a victory. They do not care about you, your heritage or even your hungry family. They do not care if we are the ones who pays for most of the Fish and Game through our taxes. They have no clue about keeping nature in check and what it takes to MANAGE animal populations. They only see you as the enemy. So grow a set and stand up to these types at every step of the way no matter how small it is.

If you have any doubts about this just look out how they are destroying every part of our society. BTW it is not their fault.  They are sick and know no better. It is our fault for letting them. For being spineless and too willing to turn from conflict. Take your set out of your wifes purse and be a man for a change.

Thanks for your great insite klickatat...think i will just keep being repectful and work on education vs hostility. When I met my wife she was an anti hunter, non meat eater, and complety uneducated about hunting.....now she hunts, loves venison and lets me hunt 3 weeks a year. oh yeah, we still hike!

You must of have missed a few things:
#1 I let everyone enjoy the same resources that I am able to enjoy, however I will never stand by and let ANYONE take food off of my table or stand in the way of passing down my heritage to my children.
but hey, I am glad the teacher is educated.

#2 Who stole away our rights to run hounds and bait?
#3 Who stole away the rights to hunt in certain areas?

You think that because you found one ignorant person that they are all ignorant. WRONG! They are not ignorant they know exactly what they are doing. All the education in the world is not going to change them. Every time you compromise with them you loose. You had better stop and evaluate your enemy, because your enemy knows you and is laughing all the way to the bank with your naivety.

BTW, I am glad your wife "LETS YOU HUNT 3 WEEKS A YEAR" good for you. I bet you just can't wait to take your set out of her purse and wear them for a few days a year.
