Re: Some Information on Etiquette
Once upon a time I thought that you had to get there first and I did.
Then one day, I got there first as usual and proceeded with haste toward my ambush point.
I was a couple hundred yards uphill in the timber when I heard the truck rattle up to where I parked my truck on the dead end.
I waited for the customary door slam which did not happen immediately so I continued on. I had not gone too many steps when I heard a volley of shots. I knew the futility to continue on so I returned down the hill to the truck and the success of the hunters.
It turned out that there were three hunters. When they got to my truck and turned around, one decided that he had to have a whizz. They all quietly got out and as they were standing there, a passel of mule deer bucks and does arrived and paused long enough for everyone to pop a deer.
I had great expectations that morning many years ago, however, I went home empty handed.
I have other memories of similar occurrances , some in my favour.
The point is, there is no need to be first hunter, the only hunter. Let the other guy go by, he just might make the game get up after he has passed. Obviously if you encounter a hunter in a blind or stand along the game trail, don't stop to talk or dillydally about, keep moving on, quietly.
