another pet peeve of mine is hunters who walk to their stands after daylight. i just don't get it, i guess some people are scared of the dark. i'm usially in my stand atleast 45 minutes before daybreak. this gives the area time to calm back down after walking threw it.
Why would you care about this..
What do you mean you don't get it...
I can think of lots of reasons.....
Maybe they got a flat tire on the way out,
Maybe the guy or gal pulled a 15 hour grave-yard shift and went out hunting afterwords..
Maybe their kids changed their minds and now want to come....
Maybe they had to drive by to pick up their 80yr old father or Grand father who is as fast at getting around as he once did..
People that show up later are just as dedicated to hunting as any body who showes up 45 min before light..
Hunters who show up late for these reasons I mentioned are way way more dedicated than the hunter who couldn't bebothered because it was too late in the day to go.....
imo, still no excuse. when your hunting public land and you know there are are hunters around...there is absolutely no reason to ruin other hunters hunts because you woke up late or run out of gas or had to go back home because you forgot something, etc. i never walk in the woods late out of respect for other hunters.
