Meetings with people in the woods is exactly why I have saved and saved to get my own land this year. To work all week to be able to hunt on Saturday and have it ruined by others is harsh. I hunt in MD and at the WMA I used to hunt I have had horseback riders, a butterfly catcher, & PETA people walk right up to me. The PETA people saw me go into the woods. And they were ready. They were dressed from head to toe in orange and as soon as they hit the woods they started screaming and yelling and walking slowly through woods. Adults and children both. I was able to avoid them though and backtrack around them and come across the road to hunt the other side. But, I'll tell you this it took everything I had not unscrew a broadhead and place it under their tire. This is a WMA that was also totally paid for by hunting through gun & license sales and is used by the public. They also parked right next to a sign that cautionned them about Hunters in the woods. I knew the DNR man their but, figured my hunt was already ruined there anyway so I just tried to hunt elsewhere. ANyway it is stories like this that have ruined public hunting.
