Again one more reason why I hunt with a bow and not a gun.
That sucks. What a bad way to end a good season. I doubt someone would do this just because they've had a good year. Did one of the members in your uncles camp have an altercation with someone else over an animal or a hunting spot? Do any of them drive closed roads? Did they maybe block a road off (on purpose or on accident?) Maybe they were just anti-hunter. The reasons I gave seem to be a better reason than just your uncles camp did really well. I hope that you guys catch whoever did this. I hate people who vandalize peoples property. Again this is horrible.
I had a large cooler full of food and Diet Coke stolen right out of my camp in the Little Naches back in 2005. And this was during the early muzzleloader season. So it doesn't only happen during rifle season.It's amazing what people will do when they know their victims are most likely well armed. What if I , or my hunting partner, had been in the tent when they drove right into my camp and stole all my food? Somebody may have ended up with a bullet hole in them. I hope someday one of these camp thieves/vandals DOES get shot. It would serve them right.
NWBREW of course it was a rifle hunt. Rifle elk is going on right now. Do you think he waited a month plus after bow season to post this???
