It's called respect

I just read this whole thread for the first time. What in the world??
If you are complaining about this change your own habits. You'll probably find something new that you can truly enjoy.

You know ,  I do truly enjoy hunting. Have you ever hunted western  wa? Ever parked your truck at a spur rd or small dead end rd to walk to the cut rather then drive? Has anyone ever drove down behind you while your walking into a area, if so how did you feel about it?  I'm not asking for a  much I thought , just that people would use common sense ,  Is that  too much to ask?  Or is it nonexistent ?

I would say it is,  and I also hate to say it, but it is pretty much nonexistent.

Now a days, if somebody isn't doing something they way someone else does,or thinks they should, or it in some way impacts them in a way they don't like, then it becomes a large, emotional at times, problem.

Not just hunters and fishermen, but sadly in just about ever aspect of everyday life...

People have no considerstion for anything other than themselves and what is important to them, to even consider a little courtsey or consideration for someone else.  Unless of course, it can benefit them...

Bam!! Awesome answer Thank you! Sorry I don't mean to be all Dr Phil on here but dang I thought this would be easy resolution but obviously not.  To bad society couldn't get back to where people cared about little things like this rather then ,oh well he'll get over it   or screw him i wanted in that area.  I'm just saying that there's a time and place too use common sense. We know what it is when we see it don't be afraid to use.

I don't know how this is a resolution or how you expected to get one by posting a thread about something that has happened and is over with. Sounds like you just needed someone to agree with your train of thought so if that is the case, congrats.

[ruttnbuck]

Nope I didn't say it was resolution , I said I thought it would be a easy resolution but obviously it's not. The resolution would be for us to pull our heads out of our a** and do something about it.

I had the most irritating thing happen to me this year in 124 just trying to fill a doe permit (2nd deer).  I got out at O-dark thirty walking up an old skidder path on the edge of a clear cut.  I got 3/4 of the way up the mountain and 2 jack wagons pull up right behind my pickup and proceed to come up the same skidder path.  They HAD to see my flash light.  I got set up over this little canyon and they broke off and set up no more than 150 yards from me.  A bit later, 3 guys set up a 150 yards from them.  Then, about 8:15 or so, 4 guys and 4 kids walked right up behind me no more than 50 yards. They proceed to walk right past me into the canyon.  We exchanged some words and I shook my head and got up and left for Winthrop to mule deer camp.  God was I pi$$ed.  Some hunters are just utterly clueless.

So you get hunts ruined by inconsiderate hunters, you pay hundreds of dollars just to access the land to get hunts ruined. How is that enjoyable? Common sense tells me to change my tactics and save my money.

Sounds more like waterfowl to me

Inconsiderate or not a lot of this falls into the category of dangerous behavior. If I know there is a hunter in an area I'm not going to enter that area because I would prefer to not be shot. I'm not talking about someone going crazy and shooting me on purpose either. I'm talking about someone taking and missing a shot on an animal and the round or arrow then hitting me.
Perhaps this specifically needs to start being addressed in the hunter safety courses.

Where do you go to hunt that nobody else is around?

I said it in another thread with details, we ran into very poor hunter ethics, etiquette,respect or plain old common sense whatever you want to call it, all over the Methow this year. Seems to be a different breed of hunter out there today and a lot of them with kids (which is Wonderfull) but they are not being taught hunter courtesy, so there are more on the horizon I,m afraid. You can't teach common sense but hunter etiquette can be, I know we were taught it when we were young, my dad always said as far as fellow hunters go, "either lend a hand or stay out of their way, theres a lot of land out there, you can find another spot"
