Jstamp. My old man is camped somewhere down there. I think he said they were camped somewhere past the 120.  They've been hunting down there for years now. This is part of the reason I don't hunt down there anymore. To many idiot's. I'm sure they are running into the same thing. Maybe next year he will finally make the transition to muzzleloader. By the way did you hear of any animals hitting the ground?
It's not the size of the trophy that make's it a trophy.

 I have never encountered that situatuion and I hope I never have to. I do like the honking the horn the whole time of the turn around though. Definately sounds like a good time to fire up the saw and cut firewood too.

There is a reason, people call hunting the Winston, "Combat Hunting"   :bdid:
By my honorable conduct as a hunter let me give a good example and teach new hunters principles of honor, so that each new generation can show respect for their god, other hunters and the animals, and enjoy the dignity of the hunt.

Calling an illegal alien an 'undocumented immigrant' is like calling a drug dealer an 'unlicensed pharmacist'.

I know of a guy who had one down this morning and
by the time he got to him someone already had him opened up
and a tag on him. It's just a zoo. Plain and simple.

That, my friend, is the root of all this hassle. No respect for our fellow sportsmen and less respect for the sport.
It is all about "getting", not about how this success was achieved.
 
I wont hunt modern because I like to hunt for animals, not a place to park.
 
The reason I archery hunt is because I like to, and I know there are idiots in all user groups, but 1% of a smaller number is still a smaller number....


I agree with your first comment 100% but not sure I follow the other comments. I have seen this problem with all user groups although it does not effect me anymore because of where I hunt. The reason most of us hunt is because we like to, doesn't matter what eachothers choice of weapon is. I have hunted with both gun and bow . No disrespect but but I don't think I understood exactly what you meant. Again like I have said before..and you as well...It is not the weapon of choice but the idiots themselves and to tell you the truth I don't think it will get any better unless they do close the roads. Just my  :twocents:
I was not critisizing weapons choice, I was merely stating the difference between hunting when there are 76,000 hunters and 7,600 idiots versus 13,000 hunters and 1,300 idiots. meaning there are still idiots in all user groups, just less means less, with a similar percentage.

I understand the frustration.But you guy that want all the gates locked must not have any elderly or crippled family memebers.

How are they supposed to get out and try to hunt a bit?

Hell my Dads 78 years old.He still loves to get out and try for a deer or elk.Or even just drive around and reminise about the old days.Hell,he logged a lot of that stuff in the 50s and 60s.Killed a lot of dear and elk in there too.

I have a nephew thats confined to a wheelchair.Hows he supposed to even see a critter if he cant be driven around in a vehicle.Guess he'll have to chain up and go around the gates.Ya.right.

Hope you guys never get old or stoved up.cause people that think like you do will cause you to put away your weapons and sit in your recliner and remember the good ole days when you used to be able to get around and hunt a bit.

Lets piss and moan about how bad an area is.But even knowing that,go in and hunt it expecting something else.It would be nice if everybody was a better person.And it wasnt so crazy.But thats not the case.

If you want seclusion.Go where its secluded.

Theres bettter alternatives.

What is the better alternative? People do not follow the rules with game wardens and "eyes in the woods" running all over. The hunting is way better when the gates are shut. There are special permits for disabled hunters and they have special draw permits for 65 and older hunters. If that isn't enough,there is thousands of acres of state land that you can drive all over if you so please.

Lock the gates year round and have special permit seasons for the elderly and disabled, pretty simple.  Unfortunately some of those disabled permits are an invitation to poaching.  I saw it first hand over by the steam plant where one guy had a permit and he had 4 other young guys, all with rifles, driving behind the gate.  they came out with 3 bulls on one special permit.
