[QUOTE="Tom Wright, post: 2241784, member: 108611"] Well in these days when we seem to have lost our way, it’s not surprising to hear this. When I was young we were taught as Scouts to always leave a place better than you found it. Unfortunately now many don’t feel any obligation to pick up their trash or respect others’ property or property lines. I hunted in Georgia for over 25 years. The problem wasn’t those of us who came from other states—we had a long trek to camp and worked hard to set things up for a good hunting season. I never had a problem with them, but I did with the locals—they thought nothing of trespassing or leaving gates open or sitting in your stands, hunting there when you were back at home. Unfortunately in many western states they love non resident fees and the money that is brought in, but they are making it much more difficult and costly and difficult to hunt in those states. There are many issues involved, but it falls to each of us to be respectful towards fellow hunters and the landowners/public land where we CAN hunt. We have too many working against our right to hunt to make things worse by disrespecting each other, or turning off land owners/ managers by being unappreciative guests. Make sure when fingers are pointed at other that you’re not pointing, and that your actions are not the cause of others anger. [/QUOTE]
