Elmer Fudd stories from the 2025 season?

[jayhawk]

Some of these stories sound like real Fudds.

Others sound like people who are just new and are out there trying to figure it out. Good for those guys.

Some favorites have been the 2 guys I bumped into within eyesight of the parking lot who had jeans, sneakers, and no backpacks. They said they were deer hunting but hadn't seen any, but they had just seen some "fresh urine" and said that the deer would be moving soon with the full moon.

Also ran into 3 guys (again very close to our parked trucks) who said they were elk hunting. They also had no gear aside from rifles, and a few of them were smoking cigarettes. Their plates were from out of state so I guess some people just like throwing away money. Or maybe they didn't even have tags in the first place. Neither would surprise me honestly.

I hunt all the time with no backpack, jeans on and sometimes sneakers. Other times ill have boots on.

Yes anyone sharing these stories is gonna sound a little bit like a jerk but as long as the fudds are not identified it's not harming anyone and I doubt the posters would think either of you guys actually fit the bill even if you did have Daisy Dukes on

Hauling out my last load of gear and meat after a backpack hunt in an OTC unit, I took a shortcut down a ridge rather than sidehill back to the trail. About a half-mile from the road, near a thick stand of elderberries, I smell the distinct aroma of cigarette smoke. I stop, look, and see in the middle of the elderberries a wilbur in a folding lawn chair with an 18-pack of bud light puffing away, rifle across his lap. He never laid eyes on me, and I opted to drop off the other side of the ridge, lest he think the antlers on my pack belonged to a two-legged buck.
