Hearing about a good spot and getting out there and making a kill are two different things.  This isn't a new phenomenon.  Hunting magazines and newspapers have been around for years.  I remember years ago Fishing and Hunting news wrote a 3 page article with maps to the exact spot we hunt up in Republic.  For that year every yahoo alive was up there.  Two years later it was back to normal.  Sure it was a pain for those couple years and I am sure a handfull of deer were shot because of the article but most guys got skunked because they didn't put in the work.  I scour the internet all the looking for info that will put me into more animals.  Does this make me a bad hunter because I found an area on the internet?  All it does is save me time and money.

Maybe I was misinformed that this site is not about sharing the latest hunting spot, I don't know. I do know this though, I hate finding more and more people in my hunting spots. It gives me a headache. Maybe I should stop banging my head on this wall :bash: That might take a little bit of it away :chuckle:

Don't get me wrong, you won't get directions to my treestand or to a honey hole that's isn't common knowledge.  When hunting and fishing areas are already well known they are going to show up on the Internet and print sooner or later.

North Cascades is the best for elk.  If I only had 1 day to hunt, that would be the place to go...and if you had a weekend, you would be guaranteed to kill one.  If you see deer instead, just climb another 400 feet in altitude and you'll be rolling in them.

Just because a spot isn't a secret, doesn't mean it can take an unlimited amount of hunting pressure. I'm surprised at how many guys will throw their own hunting or fishing spots to the wolves online.
I've seen fishing holes beat to hell under the excuse that "it's not a secret." Before you know it, a place that comfortably fishes 4 or 5 guys ends up with 20 rods on it.

That's it!  And why make it worse!  And seen areas eventually shut down for good because of it.

Helping a fellow hunter is one thing!  But ruining an area out of complete stupidity is another.

If I hear of a new potential honey hole on the internet,newspaper,magizine etc. ( I KNOW TO AVOID IT LIKE THE PLAGUE CAUSE CHANCES ARE IT'S GOING TO BE A CLUSTER-*censored*

Gosh, you guys should all join clubs where you have a leased hunting area, and not hunt on public land anymore, or land that is open to the public.

See, the point of "public" land is that is is open to everyone.  Anybody can come across the same "spot" on public land the same way you did, or by being told about it by someone else, or by using the internet.  That is life.  The real world is kinda like that...the only cure is to go to private land where you have exclusive access...

Personally, having lived in Texas before, where public access land is very hard to come by, I prefer the way it is here...

Welcome to reality...  You know the town of Covington? Yeah, where all the houses are?  I used to hunt Blacktail back there. BEFORE they built houses there.
