Splitear you're so right. Ihunt public land and yes sometimes there are more people than I would like but I acceptthe fact that it isPUBLIC land. What I won't accept is the total lack of respect forfellow hunters that I'vewitnessed so many times while hunting. Common courtesy, it's such a simple concept. Why don't some people understand that. Whena fellow hunter whistles or waves to get your attentiontolet you know he's there is it so hard to wave backand then back out and go around or move to an alternate spot.I waved one guy off the other yearat over eighty yards. He looked up and saw me and continued in a straight line right at me.He passed within twenty yards touching every branch and twig with his bare hands as he went thus nullifying all of the hard work I put into being scent free and quiet. I know when I walk in on someone I feel bad and appoligetic for disturbing their hunt. I'm sorryI rambled on but this is a real hot button for me. Ken
