Free: Contests & Raffles.
Go back to the OP. This subject almost never comes up about spike camps for one small tent with gear that a hunter goes to and from. This is about high and heavy use areas that are easily driven to and access popular public land. The spots are frequently very high demand and someone is trying to grab not a share, but more than their share.I don't know anyone who ever thought anything about a tent that was off trail in some basin unoccupied no matter the length during deer season. These disputes are almost always about very high demand camp sites, on roads in high hunter density areas. When that happens and when someone tries to play the "dibbs" game, especially for a larger chunk of dirt one tent wouldn't require, people get bent. And should. We don't need to deflect into the rare case in order to defend the usual case. This isn't really about Pack hunters and their small and efficient base camps.
With all of the time spent being the "ghost camp police", how do you guys find time to hunt ??
If it makes any of you feel better, the tent probably isn’t unoccupied. It’s less than a hundred yards from a very active rattlesnake den.
My guess is that it was just a false flag op by the Walla Walla boys to direct ire on the good and wholesome Ephrata boys.
Found this camp day after archery season. S.O.B already staked claim for next year
It's hunting season y'all got way better thoughts to be focused on than this nonsense. Different areas have different demands. Where most areas are concerned it ain't a big deal, but for some other small percentage of areas yes ghost camp would suck. I think all of you are correct in your opinions based on where you camp.Go get sum this weekend and enjoy the outdoors!
Quote from: Pegasus on October 08, 2017, 08:35:04 AMI agree in taking it down but be smart. Don't camp there. Let an unsuspecting camper take the space after you cleaned it up. That way when the guy and his buddies that left the tent show up in the middle of the night drunk you don't have do deal with the threats and cursing. You can camp a couple of spaces over and watch the fireworks.This is possibly the most unsportsmanlike thing I have ever read.There is something wrong with this guy.
