Went up last Friday Morning for the last 5days of the hunt. Hunted all Friday afternoon and evening. Sign but no deer. All morning sat, same result. A couple guys we had seen earlier drove by camp, backed up and we started talking. I told them our story, and they replied, "There's three doe just 40yds of the road 5min away." Hills in the area made it real tough for dad to cover much ground, so he said lets get one. They were nice enough to leads us right to em. Just off the road on a switch back, so we went passed em and got out. Three of them, the biggest bedded down. 125 yards, dad was uncomfortable with his 30-30 So he said I should shoot it for him. I threw out the bi-pod on my .270, laid down, and smoked her! The other two guys even helped me drag her down to the road where the picture was taken with dad. Was about the best experience we've had with other hunters. Those guys were awesome. Thanks again if your out there!! She dressed out to 90 lbs meat n bones. Steaks and sausage comin soon!!

But he would never have let me shoot it, he would have taken my gun from me and used it.

We also had one guy come by us and cut us off on a dirt road and yell and cuss at us and we were not even hunting. All the guns were in the back and no one had any orange on.
I understand the problems that landowners have with poacher and road hunters but I was utterly offended and if the sheriffs' would have taken the complaint I would have filed the hunter harassment claim.
I also feel that a lot of these landowners in this particular are continue to file damage complaints and get hunters dollars while not allowing anyone hunt and fix the problem.
Sorry to hijack-----just had to vent a little.
