Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Well, I decided to get out of the house while my Wife and Grandmother went shopping this morning..... I decided to hike into a water hole in a piece of country that Huntn' coues and I have been kickin' around in for years.... I have sent archery elk hunters and turkey hunters into the area for years.... but, never mentioned that little puddle of a pond. HC had a close incounter with a bear there this spring while turkey hunting.... ( You knew I was gunna bring that up, Troy!!!) Anyhow, I kick a few elk off of the water as I walk up and and my dog runs down and jumps in the water as I spy a new looking salt block.... ...as I look around for a camera or a tree stand..... Nada, then I see this.... So I walk closer..... too see what the sign reads....... Then I begin to laugh.... Unbelievable!!!! I'm trespassing!!! Anyhow, if this is your "set-up" I'd like you to contact me.... I don't want any problems when you find my camera on Your Water Hole.... If you had left your name and number I would have simply called you..... but, I doubt that you really plan to hunt the "whole hunt" and it is a rather broad statement.... I'd hate to walk my wife in there just to have you walking in, too. I, afterall, have many other places to hunt. I just liked this spot for the same obvious reasons you do....

Huntn coues Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Why is that camo netting so high up off the ground? That sign sure does not say alot. For all I know maybe he/she wrote that sign for you and your wife Like you mentioned it would be nice if there was a name and number attached to it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coues 'n' Sheep Report post Posted August 17, 2008 Get out of my spot you Dirt Bag HAHaHa..... I know it is not you Mike..... for two reasons: 1) You would have put your name and Ph #..... 2) You would never build a ground blind on the almost up-wind side of water... Thanks for the responses. I sure hope some on here owns that sign..... it is not like I have my heart set on this spot for opening morning.... I would like to have it for a back up plan. My wife is not going to be picky she just wants a deer with a bow.. with a little luck she will be tagged out by noon on Friday at a water hole that I can't get a good and secure camera on. I'm thinkin' I will hang a Camera on a fence post while we hunt it.... ain't no one gunna steal it while we are in the blind with our bows! I am really stroked cuz this "plan A" water hole has a bear hitting it and the unit opens on Friday too!!! Please stay dry all week!!!!! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TAM Report post Posted August 18, 2008 It is just unbelievable to me that some people think they can "claim" a spot like that! It's only a matter of time before a stupid sign like this starts a fight and ends up getting someone hurt or killed. Read the regs people. First come first served and that doesn't mean claiming your spot a month in advance! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
azhuntnut Report post Posted August 18, 2008 Gino, You brought something up that had been bothering me for a couple weeks. I have a stand on some water that I plan on sitting next Friday. I was going to leave a note asking anybody else interested in sitting the stand to contact me so we could work out a schedule. I never did, mainly because I didn't feel it was right to stake my claim on the stand. This stand has been there for years, and was built by a friend of mine. I will most likely get there very early and hope the other hunter doesn't start trouble. The fella that put up that sign is very bold. I think you might want to get back in there and hang some of your work socks in the blind to help with scent control. David Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Huntn coues Report post Posted August 18, 2008 I had a good friend show me a pit blind in 19a one time that was almost all filled in with dirt so I went out and spent alot of time digging it out and putting up some netting for shade and when I was done I left a note saying I have this hunt on these dates and planned on sitting that blind from time to time and left my name and number on that note. Well a few weeks later I had a fellow call me up and said he would not mind sitting it when I was not. We later met up on the hunt and shared the blind. Worked out great!

rimhunter Report post Posted August 18, 2008 I put up my blinds 3 weeks ago . on one spot there was a little more traffic in there then normal . we got a lot of rain so I thought I would go check them out the road up was washed out pretty bad when I got to the hill there were trees in the road that had been cut down after I got through and to the blind it laying on the ground I put it back up . I was smelling something rotten . someone had put a dead dove inside the screen and window . Last year there was someone who hunted this tank a few days I saw there Quad and I left he never knew I was there he was there first and I let him be now I have someone trashing the place .
