I know how you feel and it certainly is frustrating. I was walking to my stand one time during gun season with stand on my back and I jumped a buck that was one of the biggest bucks I have ever seen. Awide, massive10-point that was bedded about 30 yards behind the barn. Anyway, as I neared my stand I saw something strange which ended up being a tresspassing kid gun hunting my family's farm. So, anyway he didn't see the buck but I do not know what I would have done had that buck run by him and he shot it. My head probably would have exploded.
