I was hunting at a public hunting area yesterday and for the first time, ran into a traditional idiot. (IMO) I was sitting on stand and at 7:30 in the morning (Sunrise was about 7)and a guy dresses in blue jeans, King of the Mountain jacket, and wool hat come crunching through my area. I heard him coming for 200 yards. I think he was trying to "Stalk." My hunting buddy tried to wave him off to no avail. He just continued to plow through the area. He was making so much noise, he couldn't hear my whistles. The first question that comes to mind is: Why would anyone stalk that early in the morning. Why not sit till at least 9am? Second, if stalking is your thing, shouldn't you learn to be quiet? Does anyone else on the board still hunt that early in the day? I thought that we traditional hunters were better than that. There is more to hunting with a stick and string than reading mags. and romanticising.Pardon my frustration. Dick

PS. Maybe I'm all wet but that's not the way I learned to hunt.
