We ran into this guy at 7:04 am almost a mile from one of the only gated roads with a opened beer in one hand and his radio in the other. The funny part was he offered a beer and opened up his back pack ice chest and said I have plenty more. He wasn't even hunting(just a pusher) so I guess it was good for a laugh.

You know if your going to hunt on an open road.You have to expect that someone is going to drive up it past your rig. If i see rig at the entry to a road im driving that wont stop me.I dont know if you took off out in the woods or up the road.Who knows what direction you went.If its a deadend rd. just block it with your truck.

I understand a lot of the frustrations up there with the masses of hunters up there in the winston and have posted on that on past threads.  However, this practice of people blocking roads with their vehicles is ridiculous and a good way for someone to vandalize your rig.

I never block a road but I do have the courtesy if I see a rig at the begin of a dead end spur,not to drive down it. I just pick another spot to hunt,if you do your homework you should have no problem with having a plan a,b,c,and d. Just like the guy we ran into,I know he didn't scout the area at all because if he did,he would know that elk are there all the time and would have not drove into the area.This kind of non respect for your fellow hunter is just embarrassing to me.

I have had guys almost run us over hauling butt down the road in a rig to get ahead of us when we were working an elk herd during late archery on dead end road last year, the place down there is an zoo.

I would likely have killed a nice fat cow on Sunday if it not for the road hunters.  I spotted two cows working their way up this clear cut directly at me and my parnter (hunting buddy-dont get any ideas).  They were about 200 yards away and closing in on us, when two trucks full of road hunters came hauling A$$ by and bye bye went the elk.
