Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
So....if you see a guy hunting in a zone walking and glassing as if he were on a stalk....would you
A-drive up to him and ask him stupid questions and then discover he has an LEH tag and he thinks he found game and after a brief explanation, you decided to drive past him into a dead end cutblock road the said guy is working and obviously you spooked the game as,well, you're a road hunter in a gated and locked out zone that very few people have access to with the exception of a few people including the "local nation"...or do you..
B....stop,watch and perhaps leave the area as quietly as possible
I know my answer but I have to say,I found myself very disappointed this season with hunters and for those on quads with pipes,wtf are you thinking,I can hear you several kms away,even a quiet machine but wtf are you doing with a piped machine road hunting....gawd...road hunters,damn....and you think you're going to kill a deer like that?.....rant over...but my question is the same.....what would you do and what is proper eticate?
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
That road hunter might have a physical disability that prevents him/her from being a "REAL" hunter.
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
My answer is "Let me take a 1" steel bar to your knees, then lets see how much "real" hunting you do."
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
Public land, it's what you have to suffer through. MOST fellows in that situation will quietly leave the scene, unless of course they don't know the road doesn't go much farther. You never mentioned how far the road went but we assume it was less than 500 yards?
Pipes....can't figure that one out, they just like noise?
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
Does the quad hunter know that it's a shorter dead end road and not a several Kms road? And what is a "real hunter" doing hunting on a road?
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
Even unmodified ATVs are loud. With an engine module and a less restrictive exhaust you can double the HP of many ATVs.

How about get off your high horse and understand that public land is for everyone. Maybe they didn’t know the road ended. Maybe they have a disability that prevents them from walking. Maybe they don’t read minds either. If you want to avoid this problem, get back in the mountains where there aren’t roads, but remember that other hunters might be there too. Question; How long have you been hunting?

Well..ok...however as I stated initially, they saw me,drove up to me,we spoke about my intention and they drove past me....and it's actually not public land,privately owned island land with limited access to key holders....
Re: Ethic Question about road hunters VS real hunters
If there I am walking into a dead end road that ends shortly (like a km or less) it would be nice if motorized hunters would back off if terrain allows for them to turn around. If it's a longer stretch of road it's not reasonable to ask people to stay out. Ultimately it's public land though.
Road hunting is road hunting. If you are walking down a road you are a road hunter. So really you are asking if road hunters on foot should be given more consideration than motorized road hunters.
