[QUOTE="freddiej, post: 2241886, member: 26227"] I share some of your sentiments. I have no issue with res. VS. non-res if they are polite and have good strong morals. It's the jerks I have a real problem with. I have been the recipient of some "sound shot" when I lost my footing on a slippery rock or log. I have seen some of my own campsites (my base/scouting camp I set up a week or two before opening of season) absolutely wrecked by people that got there before I got there to hunt. my wood used up, my fire pit destroyed, my piles of under bedding gone or soaked down with urine. I can not blame this on other hunters because I do not know it was other hunters. I am more inclined to blame eco-tree huggers for this wanton destruction. I have seen what I thought was everything man on a mission could do to other's solace and tranquility. but reading things here I have hardly seen the worst of people. I have had to report drunken hunter before. I have had to report poachers before, I have been threatened by poachers at the end of their rifles before. I hate to say it but there are some real great examples of bad examples. I have not solutions but to have the rangers and wardens take care of them. we as hunters can not just "fix" the problem on our own.. no matter how we feel at that moment. come to think of it.. wasn't the "Wild wild west" much more civil? just a passing thought and question. I would volunteer for a mentorship program for young hunters and old alike to just sit them down and mend their ways and educate them on the horrible things they could do if they do not follow the rules. especially the "sound shot" shooting at something you only hear int he distance rather than see.
