COUESAZ Report post Posted October 16, 2006 That stinks. Nothing more you could have done. Tell him what you think and go get the bull. It sounds like you had the right idea about what the Elk would do. That alone prooves that you are a better hunter than MR blowhard. He may have come in closer to you and he may have stayed right in that spot until night or he was kicked up. So in all do respect to you this MR blow hard was a blessing to you because he saved you the heart ache of setting there and spending more time to find out what you found out after the guy jumped him to you right. You know the quality of hunter when they come right up to you while you are setting an area to begin with. My brothers bull last year was beeing stalked by him and three other hunting groups. When my brother took this bull. He was then aproached and congradulated by the other hunting parties. That is true sportsman for you. None of us knew the others where stalking until after the bull was down. The funny thing was that i was the spotter and the other two parties spotters were with in 50 yards of me and none of us knew the other was there. Had we known that they had watched this bull all morning as well and had a man on the stalk we would have pulled off and spotted another i know that with out a question.

drgonzales Report post Posted October 18, 2006 Dang!! Where do you guys hunt that there are so many people around?? City limits?? I have been hunting all my life and very rarely see another person other than the people I am with. Get out and stretch the ol' legs and get away from everyone.

COUESAZ Report post Posted October 19, 2006 Have you never drawn a Zoo tag. Gosh you can not get away from people in that unit. In most cases the only other person i see is my self in the reflection on my bino eye peices. And my brother. And maybe some of the packin hornes and Mullins guys on the ridge across from me.

cmc Report post Posted October 26, 2006 Okay here's what I would of done, I would of lost all of yours respect by laying my bow down and ruining it for both of us hunter by whippin his butt, then maybe if he runs into me again he will remember the butt whippin and find another Bull. End of story............. respect and ethics goes both ways and being the better guy stands up for what you think is right . can you say... assault charges... I don't know how else to put this lightly but... that's about the dumbest thing one can do. Figure that if that's the tact chosen than you risk jail time, and almost every penny you have in a court of law defending your actions of attacking a person. There is no self defense justification here. Now mind you I would not be that type of a jerk, but if someone took an action I did in the field that serious to physically harm me, well they'll get to know my lawyers officer phone number very well. As well what having charges brought up on them are like. Walk away and walk away quickly before ya do something stupid. That elk isn't worth it one bit. Get over it and move on. cmc Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
