this is my second post. it's an interesting topic. i grew up in the white mountains, and back then we could find places to hunt where we wouldn't really see other hunters. a few weeks ago i was out checking cameras in unit 32 and saw about 30 trucks on deer creek road. i left because i didn't want to disturb others hunts. i'm just curious how most of you feel, when i see hunters, or fisherman if it's that sport, my first inclination is one of frustration, and i wish them no luck and cuss my way along away from them. but then if i see were to see them at sportsman's or somewhere, i'd feel immense camaraderie. so it's an interesting dynamic of both communion and competition. and a shame the game and fish is creating this situation. less access, more hunters in the field, worse opportunity. anyone else feel the same way?

here's the only field shot i have left. kinda sad to say it was a december hunt, perhaps i should have held out. first coues though, i was giddy. it was close to 15 inches inside spread.

i shot this deer a few years back. it's a little shaky, but a cool kill shot. http://gallery.mac.com/brountrowt#100023
