[QUOTE="Bullbuster, post: 1631131, member: 10474"] I was hunting an area they were logging and thinning trees while stationed out in California. I saw a foked horn coming my way up through the middle of this fresh cut area. I was about to let the hammer down when a shot rang out. I look off to my right and see a hunter not 40y from me. He looks at me and waves and walk to the deer. He must have walked up, seen me and saw the deer I was about to shoot and shot it first. I was mad as can be. I got up and walked away. Ended up eating my only deer tag that season. I have had hunter run ins many times on public lands and I have run into hunter in areas I didn't expect to see any. One of the worst though my buddy and I had run into a couple of hunters before daylight along a road and my buddy said we planned to head over the ridge into a bowl and hunt for some big back country bucks. They planned to stay along the road. My buddy mentioned the big deer we had seen over the last couple years in that bowl area but didn't think anything of it as we had never seen another hunter back up in that country. We parted way and a few hours later and a couple miles later we sat atop the Mt at just over 10,000' looked back down and wouldn't you know it half way between us and the timber line is these 2 guys. They stayed back but they followed us the entire day. Hope they enjoyed that nearly 15 mile hike and 4k+ vertical feet of climbing. [/QUOTE]
