[QUOTE="manitou, post: 2006642, member: 105280"] Happened to me every set up this season in WY. I was getting ready to pack up and move as I did earlier in the day and thought: "They are set up with their wind blowing across the deer travel route straight to me, rude S.O.B.s. I can probably out shoot them if their shooting is anything like their hunting prowess" So I stayed, hoping I could dump a nice muley with a long shot right under their rude little noses... and I did. I watched the buck coming from private land two miles away onto public down the drainage heading to water just like they always do. He scented the two fat bass-turds and circled toward me as the "hunters" watched through their binos. I was watching them and it was as entertaining as watching the buck slowly sneaking/moving down and then across the draw. I dumped him at 503 yards and turned to watch the "hunters" stand up with their binos focused on the downed buck. They watched as I made my way over to the deer and began prepping for the job of quartering, then they packed up and left. The access to this spot is only forty yards wide and the public portion of the drainage is small. They knew they would have to set up upwind of me, right in the area I was glassing. They walked right through the buck travel corridor, stopping to look at me through their binos every few dozen yards. Personally, when I arrive at a limited access, small parcel and there is already a vehicle there, I figure: "good on them, they arrived early and deserve to hunt it" and I go elswhere. Was a great evening. I just wish I could see the expressions on their faces and hear their conversation after the shot. [/QUOTE]
