Anyone use this program last year? If so, how was your experience? I'm most interested in whether people actually respected the reservations, or if you rolled up to your "reserved" spot and found someone already in it...
Yes, I had one instance last year when I showed up for my reserved spot someone was parked there and in the blind. I took photos of his rig and license plate and tried to report it but it was 4:30am and no one was answering the phone. So I just packed up my gear and went out to the blind. The guy sheepishly left claiming ignorance and complaining that the place is always empty, no one hunts it, blah, blah …
I emailed the photos to the WFDW – don’t know if they ever did anything about it.
In my mind this is the same as poaching and trespassing. You hunt a spot without a reservation you are stealing someone’s hunting opportunity.
Next time I’ll post the photos on this site for public humiliation.
