[QUOTE="Lost Lake, post: 5504744, member: 12599"] The biggest problem is, IMO, when someone leaves a stand in the woods on a tree and they refuse to leave when someone else is there before them. Usually, that person didn’t know there was a stand placed there by someone else beforehand. The only thing they can think of is that they can’t go off and hunt elsewhere without their stand. You’ll see them stop and stand there after you’ve shined them off, and you can almost see the wheels turning. They don’t know what to do without a stand, so they just climb on up. Had it happen to a bud of mine on a draw muzzleloader hunt last year on a local WMA, and the guy just came on in an hour after daylight and climbed on up, 50 yards from my friend. Last year on another WMA, a group from Louisiana came in on our hunt and followed us in before daylight, basically surrounding us. Their excuse? “ We already hung our stands a couple of days ago!” It was about five of them. They told us that they knew it was bad etiquette to follow us in, but they couldn’t hunt without their stands, plus they’d driven from Louisiana. Who in the heck would’ve known that they’d done that? Most serious hunters are gonna do what they can to get well away from other folks in the woods. Inevitably, the same sign or terrain looks good to others too though. Just part of it, but you lose valuable hunting time dealing with it. [/QUOTE]
