[QUOTE="duckhunter175, post: 1995146, member: 89164"] NR hunter here- I was hunting near where the OP was and saw some of the campfires etc but not close enough to see where the campers were from. My group had a mixed experience— folks in town at the motel, restaurants and gas stations were awesome and greatly accommodating. I guess as NR “tourists” our presence and input into the local economy was still welcomed. +1, especially when they were excited to see our harvests. Then we had some local DBs stop by our vehicles (legally parked on public land) and start taking photos of our plates as if it were some intimidation tactic. -1 for Res Thankfully a resident hunter saw it and he came by to make sure our vehicles hadn’t been tampered with. +100 in my book. Then watched a resident drive through a no-trespass gate to cut across to another side of public land (save a mile walk- maybe he had permission?). Then shoot a buck we were working toward, which he clearly wasn’t happy with (once they found him). -1 our last experience was with a father/son resident combo who were elk hunting and were kind as could be- exchanged some info on recent sightings and off we went. I think the hunting world as a whole could do with a good bit less entitlement and a lot more of rule #1– be a good dude. [/QUOTE]
