From a hunters view thats been on guided hunts w/ a outfitter on Colorado's public land. First off if my guide spoke like that to fellow hunters I'd tell him he's done being my guide. Thats just being disrespectful. It does suck when you pay for a hunt, and run into other hunters in same area. But its just part of it. Something you have to except. In one particular case my guide & I had setup on the edge of a meadow with a small pond, and a good elk wallow spot. During prime time we start hearing bugle, after bugle, after bugle, then cow calls, after cow calls, after cow calls, about nonstop. Then we see these 2 hunters working the opposite side along edge dark timber. Just walking & calling nonstop. Obvious amatuers. So my guide & I packed it up, said were just wasting our time here. On our way out, we ran into those 2 hunters, and my guide actually spoke to them very politely. They admitted to being new to Elk hunting. My guide offered them plenty of good advice. It was wasting my hunting time, but I totally respected how he handled it. Thats how it should be. Hunters helping hunters!!
