kidso Report post Posted May 24, 2013 If someone got to my stand first I would not be happy but first come first serve. As long as they were NOT being stupid and damaging it. Heck, offer em $20... -----or offer them two steps toward the door like Lynyrd Skynyrd suggests! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chico Report post Posted June 1, 2013 Thought about this one for a while. Had similar thing happen on an archery bull elk hunt. Ground blind existed on water hole, was old and run down, I spruced it up a little few days prior to hunt. Went to check it out opening day afternoon and it was occupied. Was fixed up a little better actually! Did the right thing and never approached. Solution--went in earlier the next day. When the hunter--I assume that occupied it previously approached-I stood up and let him see me. He reacted accordingly, waved and left. Last time I checked, it is called public land hunting. Same as going to a sale at the store. You were there yesterday-sale started today-someones in line in front of you. You going to tell them to get in the back of the line because you were there yesterday? Everyone needs to respect the "first come- first served theory" . The clashes that are occurring here online and out in the field are doing no one any good. Respect and integrity is going to turn the tide. Just my humble thoughts. Wish all tag holders best of luck, stay safe and happy hunting. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
