[QUOTE="Clem Bronkoski, post: 2070261, member: 110518"] Well I feel your pain. I hunt exclusively public land. But fortunately for me I usually don't see many hunters where I hunt. This year I pulling into an area where I have been hunting for many years and there was a vehicle there and a guy getting his gear on. First thing he said to me is "Are you the guy that has the tree stand right below where I put my blind"! WTH. I said I have been hunting this same spot for at least 10 years and you saw my tree stand yet you still put your blind there 50 yards away. You're a real piece of work. Ended up he pulled his blind after that morning's hunt and I never saw him again. The problem today is that society and people's attitudes have changed. Back when I started hunting in the early 60s, if we saw someone hunting in an area where we were going to hunt we would just move on to another spot - no matter how good that spot was. First come first served sort of thing. Today a lot of people think "its public land and I'll hunt where I want". Absolutely no respect for others. My friend and I had stands, tree ladders and trail cameras stolen. We would have never even thought of doing anything like that. [/QUOTE]
