BrushChimp,

Down here in the deep South, we hunt safely and ethically. This is not some litter infested biohell like some folks are used to up north. We keep our woods pristine and free from Yankees when possible.

Down here, we suit up in coverhauls and mesh hats. Respect. NEVER go to the stand without our hunters orange over our top half. Once had a guy come hunting with me at the family farm. He was not a true hunter, but was interested so I figured what the heck - I like to teach and this guy gave me the respect I demanded.

He got out of the pick up with no hunters orange and not only that, but did not have camo. Wore flesh tone sweat pants. I was embarrassed and furious. I left him at the camp and told him to wait patiently - that I would be back shortly. I left him there for 5 hours or so, long enough for me to enjoy a hunt and several pinches of snuff whilst observing 7 different whitetails in a wet bottom area of the farm. Got back and learned at that time that his folks were from New Jersey! That explained it right there and needless to say, this young man was never allowed out to my family farm again.
