Even worse, latter that night I went to their camp to try and find out where they lost the trail, thinking I would try picking it up the next day... They couldn't give me a good description of the area where they lost the trail... Then one of the brothers told me that he hung a beer can on some brush where they found the last sign of blood... Needless to say... I was one pizzed of MoFo!!!
I've never been so picky about someone walking across my land... If you're maliciously trespassing, I have a problem with that.. But if you're just tracking an animal you've already shot then I say tread lightly and leave no trace and I won't be a problem for you...
I would not have been happy with the beer can either.. There are plenty of easy ways to mark your path with natural materials, using garbage is not needed.
