Guys complain about people leaving items in the woods all year.
Then the same folks complaining leave dozens of cameras in the woods for the whole year.


Seems like both parties are littering to me.

Yet we all drive vehicles and pollute the earth. I can careless who sets what camp where or who hangs cameras on tree. Long as they pick their stuff up when done. All I care about. I can find my own spot. I don’t need to ribbon it off or complain if someone sets camp right next to me. Heck you can even hang your camera on the same tree as mine. All I ask is leave my stuff alone and pick your stuff up when done.

My buddy and I have at least 4 or 5 different options on where to camp, always.  If someone got there first, move on to the next option.  Live with it.
Look man, some times you just gotta roll the dice

Here’s something to think about. Some are up in arms about a ghost camp where you drive to. But what about all the guys that hunt the backcountry and scout all summer long. They find a nice little area to call home for the season. So week before the season you put a weeks worth of gear in a pack and hike back 5,8,10 even 14 miles. To come into the area you scouted out three months earlier. Loan and behold you see an outfitters camp their. Not a soul around. They had a ghost camp set up. Now remember you packed in a week early to scout tell opening day. These guys set up camps early and they know they won’t be occupied tell day or two before season. But yet you don’t see nor hear anything about this. Why is that?

 Not that I care cause I always have a few spots picked out. I just move on to the next one. But it’s funny how some are up in arms over a sight you DROVE to. Drive to a new one then.

What if you made your way into the draw and no camp was set up but there was signs and red tape up that said Ephrata boy's outfitters  (reserved)

With or without a $10 tent inside ribbon?

This made me laugh out loud.  :chuckle:
Lead em if they're running.

The amount we pay to play the State and Feds should have a tent and stove set up for us before we get there.

Gotta agree with RTspring here boys. No gap between deer and elk,  if your motivated enough to go pick your spot early (a week or less). Then so be it and good for you!  If you don't wanna search for a spot to camp at midnight before opening day then have at it.   BUT,  you better use that spot or have it down by opening day!!
If hunting was easy, they'd call it killing....

Never judge a man til you walk a mile in his shoes.  That way when you do judge him, you will have a mile head start and he will have no shoes.
