Hunter Etiquette

[Biggerhammer]

Mr. White Dodge is probably saying the same thing about you.

It's all part of the game, just when you have it all figured out and things are going your way. Someone's trying to learn in your AO.

Threatening the tires on their rig is a worse breach of civility than messing up your hunt.   How about letting the etiquette go both way?   Just sayin'....

Must be a thing with big white trucks.  We absolutely cringe when we see one coming our way.  Especially if they have big ass roll your truck tires and a kid peeing sticker in the back window.  Add a pair of bull testicles to the rear hitch and your sure to have them screw a stalk.  Those trucks must be prone to exhaust leakage in the cab making occupants brain dead.

Perhaps we need retailers to ask a few simple questions before they can sell elk bugles.  If a customer says "yes" to owning a big ass white truck, having bull testicles on their trailer hitch, chew Skoal tobacco or a decal that says "Wood's Logging Supply" they can't buy one.

Wasn't meant to be a slam on you for where ya hunt.  I used to hunt the low lands and had plenty of encounters with d bags. My buddies and I called it a molested hunt.  Happened almost every time. We were hunting private ground most of the time to boot.  I cringe just thinking about hunting down here. Does nothing for me. It is one of the reasons I work my tail off every year so I can be successful in the backcountry.

Just as an example.  My buddies family owns a bunch of property right down the road from here.  No one but us has permission.  I was tagged out so I went down to help try and call a bull in for a buddy.  From where we were i watched as a couple d bags in a black samuri pull into his field and walk out like they owned the place.  They get out to where they can see my buddies truck and turn around and go back to there rig.  They then drive down the road and pull off to the side and start trying to call me in.  I've had it happen so many times all I could do was laugh. Nothing has changed in the last handful of years that I have avoided that area.

Funny chit

I Like when they pull up next to you when your walking a  skidder road and ask " seen anything?"

Oh yea I have 3 big bulls I'm working on right here in this little canyon

And I also have a big white truck ,,,,,,,,,damm

We set up behind a huge meadow Thursday night on some game trails leading into it. I was talking to a bull and he seemed to be getting pretty excited. Then he stopped. In about another hour, we heard hoopin' and hollerin' in the meadow. A group of guys had come in after us and had shot the bull I was talking to. It wasn't my favorite experience of the trip, but it's possible they had no idea we were there and just set up like we did thinking it was a good spot and they were alone. Stuff happens. Some people are jerks. Some people are unaware of your presence. Cutting someone's tires isn't going to make them be less of a jerk. It'll turn you into one.

I'd like to know how you would have responded had the hunters knowingly ran past you to get the bull?


Question yourself.... If you witnessed two hunters working a bull would you back out or run in on the set-up?


Me?  I would back out and hope they get a shot.... I must be old school.

[pianoman9701]

If they'd knowingly busted our hunt to get on a big bull, I'd have left. You can't teach jerks not to be jerks and it won't help me to get in a fight with one. In my case this year, I don't think they had any idea we were there.
