[QUOTE="Antler Daddy, post: 5112113, member: 20930"] I watched it. He waived and Repeated same thing twice in less than 30 seconds. There was a hint of frustration in his tone. When hunting public, the most sickening feeling is hearing somebody whistle and then say hey! At first, you doubt what you heard, stop and listen. On the second whistle or hey, you see the guy waiving. At this point, you waive back and say sorry and start backtracking. Most times.... I took the kids hunting on last day of a public WMA for either sex in GA last year. I actually bought my license in the car before we entered the WMA. We drove around awhile and then parked. The nearest vehicle was 1/2 mile away parked at top off a cut Cotton field. I figured he was hunting the woods adjacent to the field at the top. We parked at an access road that paralleled a creek drainage between that cotton field and older cut overs. We only had two hours to hunt and hoped to catch deer leaving bedding. 200 yards in, I put my son on a stump. 350 yards in, I put my daughter on to of a mound, and 100 yards later I get the whistle. The guy has basically hiked across that cotton field and climbed a tree on the opposite side of the creek from me in the bottom. I just waived and kept going. Texted my kids where he was and told them to stay put till I picked them up on the way back. Long story short, I moved a few hundred yards down the trail and took a big doe about 20 minutes before end of shooting. I quickly gutted and headed to get kids for a long drag. We talked to the guy as he was traveling out. He was friendly and congratulated us. There was no way that we could have known that he would park where he did, hike 800 yards and hang his stand 75 yards off another entry point trail. I regretted shooting that deer. The freezer was full. We transferred ownership of that doe to a couple of guys at the Pilot station.i was so glad they took it. There is a funny story in that exchange. My daughter was shocked that I was talking to these guys and one looked like YouTube “black beetle juice”. She secretly recorded the entire exchange. We laughed for days rewatching that video. Long segway off topic, but my point is that it will happen to you on public. You have to use common sense, respect people’s space and try to do the right thing. [/QUOTE]
