Hunter Etiquette

[Buckrub]

For those who advertise hunting areas on the www..... Stop it!
Nothing like having 20 extra hunters in a small area because they seen it on the forum.


I know the bulls were tough this archery season and access was limited....but!
When somebody else bugles a bull and is working the elk with patience.... running in with the wind at your back and blowing the herd into the next county is a good way to start an altercation.... yes Mr. White dodge...you know what you did.... We heard your weak attempt at a bugle.... next time you may be changing a tire or two.

I'm so friggin tired of yahoos thinking they can weasel into someone else’s hard work.... enuff.

It scares me to see how many dumb people we have in society right now, kinda scared at where we will be in another 20 years? Hopefully you have some good karma for doing real work and the bad juju will be after those guys.

That really sucks...what ever happened to having a little respect for the fellow hunter

[Buckrub]

Respect must have left when the no entry fire danger signs starting popping up..... too bad. I tried to wave the guys to me and just work the bulls together but they thought they had a better plan..

I'm starting to see this far too much.... time to move to a new area.... again.

Posting info on a hunting website doesn't cause dumba$$es in white dodges to do what they do... they'd pull those stunts if we were all still communicating in Morse Code.  They're just dumba$$es.

The fact that you tried to get them in on your hunt to begin with is very admirable.  Too bad they were dumba$$es.

What area was this 

[newred]

  I know, right? I want to make sure i didn't unknowingly blow some guys stalk (I drive a white dodge) to be fair there were two other white dodges in the area

[bullcanyon]

Gotta expect it if you are close enough to a road to know what they were driving. Not saying its right.

[Buckrub]

No problem Newred.... This didn't happen unknowingly.

Is there a problem with me locating bulls from the road? 
 If I park at a gate... three rigs decide there must be elk there so they pile in on me.

Finding bulls is about covering ground.... be it on foot or by rig, one might hunt the same herd for the entire season and not have a bull talk once... different area different bulls...different stages.

How is it I can locate bulls after three rigs pull into the same landing in front of me....
I wait till they leave ( guess not long enuff ) and talk to the animals.
Maybe if hunters understood ALL bulls talk...east and west... they would understand elk and hunting better.
I've had many hunters tell me west side elk don't talk.... ya right.

Learn the language... respect others hunts and animals... If one calls elk behind you maybe you should go back to elk school.

I'm not going to say where I was for the simple fact I'll bring more people in.... I'm just venting.

Callled thirteen bulls and not one shot..... Maybe I need to go back to elk school...LOL

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'....

[h20hunter]

No fun that way.

Ya... maybe, They drove out... just sayin.

[SniperDanWA]

What ticked me off during scouting was all the guys driving away the elk with their sighting in and shooting their guns pre-season.  All I saw was sheep after that.  I ate it when the space is crowded.

I wouldnt call it worse, I'd call it even..

stories like this is why I quit bowhunting several years ago, back then you could buy a Fred Bear  bow complete with sights quiver and arrows for about $79 it seemed that about 80% of the hunters I encountered had them and most of those guys were idiots
