THIS ^I know its the internet and you can never really know what some rando is gonna do.
It should be common knowledge and practice - if someone tells you any info or gives you a spot its not your spot to share unless whoever shared it specifically told you that it was alright.
Further, if someone shares a pin(in this case, for bear) then that's what you go there to hunt. You don't show up and say "oh man there's some deer/elk here I'm gonna hunt those too" without express permission.
Finally, it would probably be in good taste to verify that whoever shared it isn't gonna be in the area if its another season going on.
Essentially, if someone is graciously giving you a leg up, you don't shit in their face on the way up.
Didn’t realize one side was so much taller, that’s kind of cool!

Wow that guy has some wise and ancient look on him. I guess not wise enough for you! From lighting in the pics I'd guess this also wasnt very first or very last light either

I agree . They have made some poor choices“Somewhere in Washington”. LOL. It took seconds to figure out where they were.
Making content doesn’t necessarily contribute to the betterment of the world. For the high hunt, commercialization pressure is a net loss, no question.
Like posting the video of a headshot on a bear cub all over every FB hunting page a few years back?
Like posting OnX screenshots of some of the best areas in WA and claiming they're just random examples?
That posse is what's wrong with hunting these days.
Without completely derailing this thread and turning it into a high school drama fest, some more discretion on who people look up to in the hunting world would benefit a lot of fellas.

Same with California. I feel your pain.Cause Washington state makes rules and laws that make little to no sense at all
So about my mountain nap time
It’s always ego when you boil it down.Making content
I skipped this year due to other hunt conflicts, but I wasn't impressed last year. It wasn't nearly as crowded as you describe, but I saw more dudes than deer and the stupidity was there. Was setting up to take a shot on the only legal buck I saw and someone started cranking rounds off at it from 800 yards away. I don't want to get into the long range hunting debate, but I can certainly tell you this guy had no business shooting at half that distance.Well I got to experience the full negative effect of social media influencing this year, because it was the worst I've ever seen it. 40-50 rigs at the trailhead, it was like a modern rifle opener. Can't blame guys for getting out, but I can say they were doing some seriously dumb shit. It was like watching the minions from Despicable Me, you'd just see 2 headlamps look at each other and take off running across a hillside before light, blowing anything that lived in there out of country. Guys trying to "slow hunt" big wide open ridges that deer can hear and see you from a mile away. Oh well, time to find a new spot.
Thanks PNWild.. Rant over.
Moving to Arlington was the worst decision I ever made, I gotta see those clowns merch and stickers everywhere since one is a "local" boy.That posse is what's wrong with hunting these days.
