elk hunters drive me nuts

[demontang]

So Im out calling and I see a bird looking at something in the draw so I think yote. Well im sitting there waiting then I heard something behind me. So I slowly turn and there is a hunter walking up no me I had hunters orange on so I know he saw me. I got up to see a coyote running away up the draw and over into the next valley I got my stuff and headed to make another stand only to find 4 guys standing skyline talking loud enough for me to hear them a mile away. So I gave up coyote hunting tell these guys are not walking around with guns.

That sucks.  Those are the kinds of guys you will hear talking about how "hard" they hunted and are surprised they didn't get anything.

................or they walked in behind gates for 3 miles and blames somebody else. ie: ATVs, motorcycles.

Why go where you know there is a modern elk season? Not everyone is as perfect as you.

If one were perfect - he would not be hunting in the wrong unit.

Point me to a unit with in 30mile of selah That isn't open to elk. I was almost 2miles in so I figured I would see many people. I was in a area there's very few elk too.

Typical , look at the good side of the story at least the idiots didnt take a shot at ya . This is a dangerous time to be out calling unless your on private ground . I wont call anything public for at least a month .

Sometimes ya just have to go out and drop a dog. I've been out. I've just avoided "elk country". The scablands of the Palouse this time of year are pretty elkless. I also followed the law and wore orange. I figured it to be unlikely they'd mistake me for an elk hunkered down in a draw with a pumpkin suit on. Plus, where I hunt dogs, I can see them coming a long ways out. Worst case, If they were lining up on me, I'd have to..... take measures.

head east 

[demontang]

Yea I priv land I had hunted I can't anymore because the rights to hunt it where sold:(. I'm thinking of heading toward the lower valley

[Wile E. Hunter]

I had the rights to hunt one of my places sold, but was able to get back in for dogs only. A lot of people have a special category for dog blasters. Thought it was worth a try, turned out it was!

Hey demon im thinkin bout takin a class n do all the bs that the fireing center has. Go hunt out on military land

[demontang]

I've thought about that too I'm going to hit up some more priv ground this next week to see if I can get on. I'm going to head toward the lower valley and try my luck down there too.

[Instinct]

Right on

You have all year to chase yotes. They have a week to chase elk. Cut em some slack, shheessh
 


(But you do have a right to say, "Stupid People Piss Me Off.") imho

[demontang]

Lol Ill restate that next time. I hunted mod elk this year and it was a zoo close to the roads but I was already in and ready for an elk at shooting light which paid off. I just cant believe someone would put the work in to walking that far to be loud or to walk up behind a hunter sitting down is what bugs me. If I see another hunter Ill be quite and give them room.
