Default RE: dislikes about nonresidents.

All good points. I've always found that being aware of your surroundings and using common courtesy goes a long way.

I did get ticked off one time though at a incident that happened to a hunting partner of mine. We had walked down into a canyon and up the other mountainside to get to our camp site in prep for an elk hunt. Didn't see anyone else in there so we figured it would be good as we saw bulls and cows on the way up. The next morning he and I split up and headed in opposite directions from camp. At daylight, he saw a bull (shooter) grazing in a meadow and he snuck thru timber at the edge of the meadow to get a closer shot. He got to where he thought he could take a shot only to see the bull heading out the other side of the meadow. He looked up the mountainside to see a hunter standing out in the open. As he made his way thru the timber the other hunter stopped him. His response was "What are you doing up here" and then "We've been hunting here for years". This was public land Colorado and this jerk acted like he owned the place. My buddy shrugged it off and walked away. I wouldn't have been as nice. He was Philadelphia and made it known that we were invading their hunting spots. The nerve of some people.
