Its not just the dog hunters in that 5%. I've seen people throw temper tantrums and get downright violent because someone dared to walk within 400 yards of their stand, or who gets their panties in a wad if someone puts up a stand anywhere near a property line, or if someone dares to ask to trail a wounded deer on their land. The fights over "ownership" of stand sites by people who don't even own the land can be both funny and disturbing.
Something about deer hunting that can bring out the worst in folks and make them engage in the hunters version of running over a little kid to grab a foul ball.
Very very well put.
Hunters in general (and lets not forget about tournament bass fishermen) are truely some of the greediest people I have ever met. Now, lets not point fingers. And there are of course thousands of big time exceptions. But I will say this....if I find a spot where the ducks are coming in like we were handing out free cookies...and its public water....my lips are sealed. Why? Cause I'm greedy just like everyone else is. That doesn't mean I don't spread the wealth. There are several folks I hunt with that I take to such spots, espeically ones with kids who are just getting into hunting. I found the place....and you can find it too. And if we meet each other there...then we'll share a blind and probably become good friends...but that doesn't mean I'm gonna post up the GPS coordinates for the whole world to see.
