I was not going to post on this subject but after reading the replies and giving this some thought. I have to say I hate it when hunters are learning your area and they ask and want info about the area while you are hunting. I don't mind if I run into someone while pre season scouting and they ask for info. Then I will honestly try to help them out, and also let them know when in september, (bowhunting elk of course) and where I plan on hunting. Hopefully then we will avoid spoooking each others game. But to have someone in the middle of the season come into camp or up on the mountain ask where to go is just rude. I had a guide also try to tell me that a certian area was only for his paying clients. I admit that I am a teddy bear at heart, but being 6'4 weighing 240 pounds can have some advantages. Besides pulling out maps and proving my point to the guide, I think I scared the hell out of him. I just glad the guide got busted for poaching and can no longer guide!
