Very nice, good work on the archery bulls!
It's unfortunate this type of behavior exists, although it's nothing new. I witnessed the same thing in a very good deer hunting locale in MT about 13 years ago. A guy put an article in Eastman's with a very prominent landmark in the background, and within a couple of years hunting pressure there went up dramatically.It's a shame that we have to be careful what photos we share. Never have landmarks in the background, ever. I rarely ever share scenery shots on the internet, unless I just don't care about someone else knowing where it is.Why some people behave this way is beyond me. I don't hunt for competition with others. The last thing I want to do is race someone to the top of the mountain.
Great Pictures everyone. I have a story relating to this thread. I was approached by a guy at the gym this morning (I don’t know him real well, but he knows I am on the site quite often and hunt the backcountry, he also commented on the post I made a few days ago in the “high hunt permit” thread). He asked if I had seen the Backcountry Trophies post. I informed him that I had looked at it. He then goes on to tell me that he found where Hirshey killed her buck at and where 75johndeere took his camp picture from. He then went on to tell me that he was going to work on thunt’s photo tonight.I didn’t believe him and asked him where they were at. After a little while he reluctantly told me exactly where both pictures were taken (I already knew where these photos were taken at). Him and his buddies are already planning scouting trips to these locations this summer. I just want to caution people that post pictures with scenery in the background that there are people that are willing take your spot. It was evident after talking with him and asking why he would want to “steal” someone’s spot he is in it for the instant gratification of shooting a buck. He isn’t the type that cares about the hard work and effort that goes into finding these spots (most of us find this the fun part).Just a caution when posting pictures of your favorite spots. It really is unfortunate. Bye the way I hope he reads this post and reconsiders.
