Sounds like the crap I deal with at my home woods BC. Theres a guy named Tommy that just does the dumbest stuff, yet considers himself a great hunter. He'll go out prior to season, call in birds, see which way they are heading, and run to get ahead of them and call them back in. All while using decoys. Talk about educating them.

Well me and a neighbor were out talking about where I should go the next day, and I had planned on hitting a spot near a top of the hill just a mile or so up the road. Tommy and his dad come rolling up and he asks me where I planned to be. I told him at the top of the hill just up the road because I know a bird is there. He says, "Ok, because we just heard him sound off a couple times and we dont want to set up on the same bird as you." Fair enough, I shoe him along, because honestly I cant stand him. Come 5:30 AM the next morning i'm walking into my spot and I hear a truck coming up into the woods behind me. I was off the dirt road maybe 20 yards and getting set up. Its Tommy and his dad heading for the top of the hill. They literally pass me on the way to the top of the hill.

Well, I wasnt about to abandon this bird, so I stay in my setup and wait for flydown. I hit a few notes and that gobblers eating it up. Then I hear them on a box call just hammering. Balls to the wall, straight up mashing that box. I keep it calm with some clucks and purrs. The birds coming my way. Apparently they say enough is enough and,believe it or not,start walking horizontal to my setup, stopping and calling with the box every 50 yards or so. That gobbler must have spotted them and enough was enough, he was gone.

So, I seeTommy and his daddy later that week and I ask them why they setup there after saying they wouldnt (in a not so nice fashion),then why they walked through my setup as a bird was coming in, etc. Their answer was he stopped gobbling so we started walking and calling. LOL, he was in the middle of gobbling every 2-3 minutes and working his way to me. They are just slobs and they didn't want me connecting on that bird. I stay clear of the idiots best I can, but its public land. People are rude and ignorant. Just got to deal with them most of the time.
