Will I have a lot to say and ask so I will try and keep it short.
First off let me say to the person in the tree in 5C I'm really sorry if I blew your spot I didn't think anyone was there. I was flashing my light on and off and trying to keep an eye open for any lights in trees but what i did hear was a sound of a owl (most have been you) I did stop dead and gave back (ssssssppppppp) sound and then heard nothing so I entered the area and in looking for my tree I see you waving. well I left as quite as I could and still you do make a very believing owl sound. I hope you got one?
started with a bad morning ever get that feeling that today isn't going to be your day. late start out got to the area got ever thing together and my dam lights in the van wouldn't go off tried all the doors trying to be quite and still no good.so I thought pull all the dome lights out $hit there six of the dam things.so I give up and pack up to leave (would have hard a dead battery by the time i came back) so back in the van and now the lights go out .so back out of the van and open only two doors. alls good.NO LIGHTS off i go now something starts ting ting sound on my climber stop to see what it is cant find so I try to walk softer(a little better) and now I have the worse feeling for blowing that guys spot.
I have only scouted a little of 5C and really didnt want to mess up anyone else's day and could not remember how far off the trail /road you had to be . so it was a early day out for me. back to scouting on sunday and try to find other spot. I will always think if I have found it someone else has to.
Now for the big question what do you do to let another hunters know that your are already in a area?
Now i dont want everyone that was in that area coming on and claiming it was them. If the other guy is a member we will have enough info about the situation to know who we are.
If you hear someone talking about it and they aren't a member let then know about the web site.
