Ruined chance at a blacktail

[shadowless_nite]

The way I see it, if they leased the land and have work to do then what's there to really complain about? They have just as much right to be there if not more than someone who isn't leasing it.
IMHO this wouldn't be any different than a area where active logging and hauling is going on but your allowed to walk into the surrounding areas and happened to get driven passed by loggers in their trucks and log trucks hauling out trees all day long. And everyone's had an account of this sort of thing happening where you see a deer or elk etc and a worker drives by or stops to ask what your up to and it spooks.

How can you make a living picking brush? What do they do with it?

Depends wha they're picking. A lot of it is for flower arrangements.

 That sucks when you're not expecting it. It sounds like those guys had every right to be in there, as you did. It's a lot like public land. There are all kinds of people who are using it and they all have the right to do so. I hope you find that buck and knock him down!

We deal with this as well in Kitsap GMU.  Part of the game.  No used complaining just use it to your advantage.

Let me clear this up. Since I'm the gentleman you spoke to. I lease that land for 80k$ a year for my business and have every right to be up there during hunting season. And as the good man I wanted to be sine I know how it is when you're hunting I told you there where gonna be workers in here shortly for a heads up since you where close to you're vehicle. Then after you implied you wanted to stay cuz you didn't care since you where going to Idaho tomorrow I told you about 2 different bucks I saw while working back there yesterday and told my workers to stay away from that area. I was more than fair. And quote on quote. I said I can't hunt while working back there because that's Pope's rules. And yes bough cutters have to wear orange due to new rules in the contract but that wasn't a problem when they all have t in there vehicle to put on when they start work . I was more than fair to you with what limitations I had. I've never been caught poaching and I never will because I don't poach. And our family's been leasing that land for 20 years bud. Hope you do better in Idaho

And when I went and turned around it was to let more workers in the gate because they where late. And that deer you missed out on was nothing but a illegal doe that was still standing there at the end of the cut. You know what they say about yhe internet tho. You can't believe everything you read

Welcome to the forum, Shane771. Wow, that's a hell of an entrance.

I'd like to apologize to Shane771. I swear I heard you say I can't hunt because of poaching, your truck did make it hard to hear.  I know you have every right to be there and I wasn't all that mad at you and your workers, thats why I called pope to ask why of all the days of the year they choose this week to open the gates, that's all. Sorry again. Best of luck to you and your business.

Good apology Kball.  Simple misunderstanding with a few hurt feelings thrown in.   
Thanks to Shane for being a good guy and trying to help Kball locate bucks while taking care of his workers safety.

It was nice to hear both sides and formulate an opinion based on that.
