Common hunting courtesy
|
January 27, 2014 |
While hunting public land, there are many
unspoken rules we all need to respect and
follow. The main rule I would like to touch on
is, if you see a rig parked on a particular
gated road, find another road to hunt.
Not only is it dangerous, not knowing where they
are etc., it is also so incredibly rude. While I
realize it is public land, let's learn how to
respect our fellow hunters in their own quest to
fill their freezers.
Now, I realize we need to share our forests, but
common courtesy tells me, first come. Have a
plan B. No one is successful when there is too
many people in one small area.
We have a ton of forest land to hunt on here.
This problem seems to resonate with quite a few
of my friends who hunt in north Idaho and it
seemed particularly bad this year with
inconsiderate hunters.
Of course from time to time you run into others
on their hunt, but quietly leave the area and
find another out of respect and safety. Please
fellow hunters, understand there is a lot of
God's country for us all, please don't walk in
other hunter's boot steps ruining their hunt for
your own. I will do the same. |
