I headed to the woods for the first time Monday afternoon I was in my stand on the south side of my ranch that ajoins Type 2. Three hours into my hunt the sun was setting and primetime was only minutes away when I started hearing something, then I hear to guys yelling back and forth I wanted to fletch one up. Type 2 hunters please shut up when your hunting give the other hunters that know how to hunt a chance to kill something.

You said it BuckRage I dont get much time to hunt and when I do I dont need there help not seeing anything.

I hate when people can't/won't show common courtesy.

Yeah I have always had a problem with them walking my fence and not TPW brought in a dozer on my fence line and I have a highway. GRRRR

Ya last weekend we had neighboring hunters who i guess don't bow hunt decide the wanna have a party on the fence line and blow through 200 rounds of pistol ammo... didn't wanna shoot from 10-4 but when they hear our feeders.go off so do they... boy i was pretty hot to say the least

They will never learn..

Its just plain ignorant

Be glad you don't have a lease like by buddy did last year. He found a nice place south of Putnam. Put up a blind, feeder, food plot, etc. Opening morning he hears ATV's, people blowing horns, and making all sorts of ruckus. Come to find out the people who own the property next door are anti hunters and do everything legal on their side of the fence to spook the deer.

Buddy took a nice 8 point that opening day. Figured the idiots next door spooked it over the fence.

I think he should send them a nice thank you note along with detailed pictures of the dead deer.

Dry Fire, that is illegal in Texas. Have him report them next year.

That just seems like a lot of work to make a point.

Yes sir. That falls under the hunter harrassment law and is a big no-no. Call the GW anytime they do this and press charges.

Well I see that im not the only one that has problems with other hunters. You can tell some of these guy have never left the city and head down to Bass Pro and buy a bow and think they are a bow hunter.

It ain't just big city folk. There are a-holes everywhere.

Ya i think the guys next to us just didn't want us getting a jump on any bucks this year.... which so far we're actually planning on letting everything we've seen on the game cam have another year so if that's the case then i guess i see how this season will go

funny you say that... Two days before opening morning i saw 2 punks at cabelas looking at bows, so i decide to follow them around the store... that was the best hour i have spent. They went down every isle in the archery section and bought one of everything, including bows without checking draw length, uncut arrows, and almost busted out laughing when they each bought shooting gloves and releases, and bow quiver and hip quivers.... c'mon, these guys are why i wont hunt public land.

You took time to follow them around?

Why didn't you introduce yourself, and give them some tips rather than let them walk around aimlessly getting stuff they can't use?

Look, we all had to start somewhere, and these guys didn't have the luxury of having someone like a father or relative to show them how.

A few minutes out of your time might have made a difference to these guys, and at least maybe helping them a little at being successful, and instead of a laugh you might have gotten a lot more pleasure out of it to boot.

Im sure I will see these guys on the type 2 next to me. I just hope the Type 2 guys can read and understand a POSTED SIGN because we do not plat fair it they get caught on my land.

I guess you were born an expert....

It's not just on public land. Our neighbor drives up and down the fenceline at 7:30 and 5:00 every weekend during the season. He says he's checking cattle, so it's not harassment. He's just being a jerk.

budd77 who are you asking if they are a expert.

i think he's just saying everyone starts somewhere... im 25 and last spring was my first time hunting and i was fortunate enough to be accepted into a family who brought me in and taught me how to get started and gave me a place to learn the lifestyle of hunting... Not everyone is as fortunate and needs someone to tech them the ropes, it'd be a lot to take in without proper guidance

I agree,
I remember that at some point I was taught how to Tie
my own Shoe Laces.
I still trip sometimes, but NOT because of UN-tied Laces.

And today there was one on my road that deadend at my gate blocking my gate. They are about to set me off no respect for anything.
