Bad hunter threads...

[rob86jeep]

From all the threads I read about "other hunters" camping on trails, camping in basins, blowing out elk, etc, etc, do the OP's really think they've never done something dumb (without knowing it) to piss off other hunters? I always read about other hunters doing bad things in the woods and it seems like the poster assumes they themselves have never done anything wrong or f'd up another hunter without knowing it. It's almost as amusing as the honey hole posts...

I had a buddy that got the gurgle guts while hiking in on a logging road. Apparently he didn't have time to get out of the road.


Next day different buddy came in at lunch bitching about how someone took a crap right in the middle of the road, didn't even go to the side.


I'd just like to say I always try to find somewhere off the path.



It's easy to point out the flaws in everyone else.

I have definitely ruined more than one man's hunt. More than one poacher has lived to regret the day they returned. You know, Emergency Room Doctors need to make a living too.

I just assume I am always the one doing something dumb... every once in a while I trip over success.

Some day I will probably do something dumb. Until then, I will just have to suffer through not knowing what it is like.

Your title is about "bad hunters", then you mention "dumb hunters", and then you mention "pissing off other hunters". Those are three different categories of hunters, although many might actually have attributes of all three.

I may have inadvertently screwed up somebody's hunt at sometime in my life whether I knew or not is another matter, but most likely they deserved it.

I've enhanced a few guy's hunts by giving them an encounter with an absolute screaming attitude bull and a chase that they can take back home and talk about for years to come......LOL. But I normally don't do that until they've already screwed up my hunt.

I guess what sets me on fire is I spend hours in the darkness quietly walking into an area that I want to be in come daylight. Get the location that gives me the view I want and get myself all setup. As it starts to get light where you can see what is going on here comes a herd of guys talking like they are next to a jet engine about who knows what not even knowing you are anywhere in the world. And when they see you they wave and keep on walking and talking. Those are the guys I like to screw with and I may or may-not have had some fun with them. I have also been on a stalk of an elk herd only to have some good ol boy long rangers start shooting at the herd from 2 miles away trying to hit a spike bull in the middle of the herd. I really don't like the sound of whistling bullets then the bang.

It is all a learning curve. I believe it takes time and trials to reach a hunting maturity for each specific species
