[QUOTE="TheLBLman, post: 5506796, member: 1409"] The law and hunter ethics often contradict, and this gets compounded with a lack of communications between hunters. Often, no one is at fault, as there's no way for strangers to communicate in advance. I have arrived early many times, climbed a tree, only to have someone else come in later to hunt the stand they had left, but I didn't see. Sometimes I leave, sometimes they leave, sometimes we both hunt essentially the same spot. Personally, if I arrive at a spot that someone has beat me to, that more or less negates any desire I had to hunt that spot. I always have a backup plan, or two, or three. Often a move of only 100 to 200 yds is sufficient, and gives me higher odds than had I stayed hunting right beside someone else. But my #1 tactic is to arrive earlier than most, as I believe the guy there first at least has the law on his side, and many hunters will respect the fact you arrived first. [/QUOTE]
