There will be PLENTY of times that your hunt gets broken up in the future.
I had everything from mushroom pickers to Border Patrol, to k-9 cops training dogs to horses to kids walking dogs to YOU NAME IT ! I even saw a Orstrich once going to my stand ! IN NEW YORK ! I SWEAR !

The guys were just douches. If they weren't they know it happens

"I even saw a Ostrich once going to my stand ! IN NEW YORK ! I SWEAR !"


Sure you did and I'll bet he was traveling with a pink elephant, LOL!!!

Hey Tool........... he got loose from a local 4H farm in Suffolk.

However ...keep dreaming about your Pink Elephant.

Like that would benefit me in any way to post about it ? wake up

Buckyou---Lighten up tool man! It was a joke!!!

Wow,....it was pretty obvious he was joking. Speaking of tools......

You did the right thing. I had a guy glass me from a field that is on top of a hill that I face. It was rifle season so I was in blaze orange from head to toe with snow on the ground, so there is no way he didn't see me right away. I hunt private property, and he has permission to hunt the property if my car isn't parked at the barn. At 8:45 a.m. opening day he proceeded to walk from the top of the hill (150 yards directly in front of me), through a little bit of woods and straight to the foot of my stand, kicking out 1 buck and 2 doe to the next property in the process. He looked up and said, "Have you seen anything?". It took every bit of everything I had in me, not to throw all 260 lbs of me onto him in the form of a frog splash from the top rung of my stand. I was the angry hunter that day, but think I was justified in my f bomb tirade.

I suggest You do some Scouting now in the off-season and find You a better area off from where the disrespectful Hunter was at!If You take up Bow Hunting it will give You more chances to be out in the woods when most Gun Hunters won't be there!You did the right thing by not starting a fight or arguing and escalating the situation!

I would also try finding some Public Ground to Hunt or even join a Lease so You can Hunt in peace!

i live about ten miles from a national forest that is full of deer and turkey and when deer season roles around its full of hunters from all around and every type of hunter you could imagine from the nicest person even if you walked up on them in a stand to the worst as you found or worse. When i first started deer hunting i found this spot down in one of the biggest hollows in the forest, it had a swamp with beavers and a few large trees that had blow down or lodged in other trees that were perfect for sitting in. But all the others knew of this spot also and it never failed someone would show up after daylight or when it got daylight you would be able to see orange in trees all around. After a few years of hunting that spot and taking many nice bucks and does i stopped walking the long walk to (my) spot and started hunting close to the parking spot in the same place. I even quit getting there before daylight and waited till the parking spot got full of trucks then i would find me a spot over to the side park and sneak down the side of the hill just far enough to be legal and sit till everyone came out for dinner. It never failed me deer would come out in herds running for their life. I would get me a buck or doe and there was always someone right there to help me drag it out. Use the other hunters to your advantage and i have found its best to stay of the beaten trail.
