Scott:
While I agree with most every point you made.....I think it works both ways. I think the hunters hunting those prime spots need to not be SO defensive when that fact is pointed out. It's not dimishing their accomplishments (as I think securing such grounds should be commended
).
If people are truly people who are unhappy with their hunting grounds (and profess this)....and they are complaining in the manner you describe......YEAH....I think that's sad. Find somewhere else to hunt. Make your own luck.
