So this weekend was a complete bust, I had 4 days and I called it after 3. Everyone has had a bad hunt, but how many people have called a hunt on account of other hunters?
Here was my weekend,
Friday: arived in the morning, scouted out the area via truck, found a good place to setup camp. worked on the camp (clearing dead fall, setting up a fire pit, building a hunters cabbin from dead fall). rolled out for an evening hunt, tried some cut lines but no luck.
Saturday: got up early and went to do some spot and stalk. drove to a oil lease that had eyes on 4 clear cuts and broke out the bino's. Spotted a buck across the valley up the oposite slope about 700 meters away. I grabbed my gear and started my way down and over. I was about 30 minutes in just coming out of the strip of woods that divided the two clear cuts and reaquired my target. Another truck pulls up on a lease above me, starts honking their horn, buddy hanging out the window with a gun, and my buck takes off. My morning is now a right off and I head back to camp.
Evening come around and I spot nothing, well almost nothing, just lots of trucks wipping around stoping at cut lines with guys hanging out the windows with guns.
Sunday: I try a few more walks down cut lines doing sit and wait, I caught a glimps of a doe darting into the woods, I circled around on the next cut line and spot it trotting across a cler cut, quick check on the arcs and I start lining up a shot, tracking tracking BAM! hits the wood pile it just darted behind (DOH!), A quick curse and a check with the bino's and the doe is gone into a another conifere stand. No luck tracking her after that. I spent the rest of the morning tracking deer trails and find a good spot to set up. I found at a clearing at the center of 2 cut line intersections; Looks like an old oil lease long since shutdown. lots of deer sign, tracks from the morning, fresh poop, beds, the works. . its 200 meters off the road with a small hill inbetween the road and clearing, i figure I should be safe from road hunter interferance. i found a good spot with good arcs favour from the wind, and concelment about 7 meters in from the wood lines. Went back to camp for a late lunch and a nap. I went into site early, I parked my truck infront of the cut line to let others know I was down there on an active hunt. depite there being a cut line to walk in on I bush bashed to avoid contaminating the site with sent (even washed up in the very very cold creek before heading into site) got setup 2 hours before sunset. An hour latter I see the buck come in opposite of my location on the clearing. he's hanging out in the young birch.aspen at the edge (the new growth retaking the clearing even though the clearing is in the middle of a conifire stand). I continue to watch him, definatly white tail, got a 3 or 4 point rack, Im gonna take him when he gives me a clear shot. Thats when it happened. road hunters come roaring up the road, I hear them come to a grinding halt at the entrance to the cut line (were my truck is parked) my buck is now on high alert, the other "hunters" start blarring on their horn, turn up their music on full blast ( I could hear the words 200 meters away, it means they had external speakers on the truck) my buck takes off back into the woods. They contunie to sit their blasting music untill I come out rightly pissed off but keeping calm. Calm that lasted till I got just a bit closer: The passenger has his gun pointed at me from the window, and continues to hold it their untill i get closer. At about 50 meters Im yelling "WHAT THE #### ARE YOU DOING, GET THAT GUN OFF ME AND WHY DID YOU RUIN MY HUNT!", then they turn off the music, yell "#### YOU" and take off. I rushed out but didn't get the plate number.
At this point I was so fuming pissed off I said #### it to monday morning and just packed up and drove home.
Has anyone else ever experienced other hunters that are this retarded?
