Glad I “ruined” your hunt. Yes you deserve to die and I hope you burn in hell!

I'm sure there have always been jerks out there. I have not really had any serious encounters with one.

The worst encounters I've had are with locals who set up camper cities at the end of a road. Every one from 10 to 95 in the family has a tag and this has been "their" spot for decades.
I'm have been in the woods at first light two or three miles from their camp. When I'm sitting eating my lunch at noon they come putting past on an ATV. Most of the time they never see me.

Almost every NR hunter I've met in the woods were great folks. I wonder if they are expecting me to give them crap as a local and they are just happy that I don't

In the Mendocino NF they setup their camp right on the end of the access trail, or gated road so you have to walk right through their camp to use it.

Yep. That camper city in the middle of the road crap is another reason I stopped hunting the first two weeks of season. Both locals and tourists do it around here. If I put my wall tent to the side of the road they think nothing of driving right by in the dark on their ATVs as I'm standing in front of the tent with morning coffee. Can't win so I stay at home and wait till the snow chases them back to the cave they came from.
 
That sucks man. It’s too bad people have to act like that. Sometimes we all have to remember that we’re sharing this land. I understand the frustration with having a hunt messed up by someone, especially when good opportunities on public land can be hard to come by. But you have to remember that’s just going to happen from time to time on public.

Let me preface this by saying I have no fing idea how to hunt elk.
I’m trying to learn.
Sorry if I “ruin” anyone else’s experience.

Past couple days have been pretty cool.
Hiked into a hters honey hole and spent a couple nights.
Jumped a nice bull, nearly got trampled by muley fawns and got awoken from a midday nap by a sow with a cub trying to get my backpack full of sausage.
So freaking cool! Got to yell my first “hey bear!” ever!
She ran off and her cub shot to a tree. So awesome.

Anyways, I hike down and get to the bottom of the drainage right next to the main trail and decide I’m gonna hike up the hill a little ways, hide behind a bush and see if the bull I jumped a couple days before come out.
I was hiking on the main trail, admittedly throwing out pointless cow calls and looking like I have no idea what I’m doing when suddenly I hear
“Hey! What the hell are you doing?!!!
Get out of here!!! Get! Out! Of! Here! Now!
Under normal circumstances Dougs Chrondre le’McCafe is a calm, collected guy who’s not looking for any trouble.
But when you’re yelling at me to get off our public lands, especially the main trail, you #*^@#* yourself.
So I give him hell back
“Well boss, there’s still like an hour of shooting light left and you’re yelling like an idiot. You want to know what ruing hunts? Yelling.
We go back and forth.
He informs me that’s a landowner at the other end of the trail and he’s been there 5 days.
Cool bro you and your 3 buddies hiked in 3 miles from your house and camped? Cool story bro. Core af.
I tell him to “have a lovely evening sweetheart”
He tells me
“We’re cross gonna cross each other up here. We’ll talk then”
I walked down to the bottom of the ridge he was on. He never comes down.

Get up this morning, pack up camp, start hiking up the main trail past their spots and start playing he Eddie V solo from beat it on that bugling tube.
I was tapping, playing it behind my head, jumping off of amplifiers...
It worked, I called in his buddy.
His buddy was cool af we shot the shit, exchanged phone numbers and told him to call me if they were gonna be back out because I would let them have the area.
Peace and chicken grease bro.

I start climbing up out of the drainage on the main trail and spot his other buddies a couple hundred yards away because it’s 7am, the sun hasn’t even come over the mountain yet and I’ve absolutely ruined their hunt and there’s absolutely no way any more animals would come out in that spot even though all 4 of us have been walking around in there for 5 days.

I drop my pack and walk over to them.
“Y’all the dudes who yelled at me last night?”
“Yeah I was, I was set up on a bear yesterday morning and last night and you ruined both of them!
“this is public land, you’re on a main hiking trail dude. We can to the trailhead and you can see the log of how many people have hiked out here.
We go back and forth. I call him an idiot asshole a few times.
He’s asks if I want to fight.
I thought the Charlie Daniels song “the last thing I wanted was to get in a fight in Jackson Mississippi on a Saturday night, especially when there was three of them and only one of me.
So I call him a $*)Q!#@$ idiot and walk offa few steps

We get back into arguing:
“Can you not understand my frustration that you blew out my bear”

“yes, I understand your frustration, but I don’t understand getting mad and yelling at someone to “get off” OUR public lands. You’re an asshole, completely in the wrong and you’re hunting 200yds from your tent.”

“Peace and love hommies. Keep it low but keep it lit. I’m outa here. call me if you’re coming back out. Party on”

Anyways #*^@#* that guy.
If you see a dumbass flatlander wandering around aimlessly.
Approach him like a human with common sense and courtesy and try to work something out.
I hate super hunters!
This is vacation bro!

Some people are just jerks. Sorry that happened. For the most part, people I've encountered have been pretty nice...but everyone once in a while I get the "this is my spot only" people. I once met some people that were set up with their rifles on a road over looking a field. They didn't say a word to me as I was walking out and was just being polite. They definitely gave me the mean look as I just walked down the road....it's a road, jeez.
Also I once made the mistake of saying I was from Missoula....won't be making that mistake again 😂
 
I hadn't had issues with other hunters like this yet but I have run into outfitters that claimed I was on deeded or leased land when i wasn't. I kinda dared them to call the sherrif or warden and we will settle it that way. They never did. I was on BLM land at the time clearly marked with BLM tags on posts that they kept trying to remove.
