Most young folks know it all before they are born. So u tellin them don't mean squat. I'm sure each one of us learned a few lessons the hard way after being told different. I am not defending this type person at all but we have been there.

My parents taught me respect. Respect of them, elders , myself, animals, and just life in general.
I always try to go about things the right way. I have a couple places to hunt. Not great places but places. While talked to adjoining owners to ask for permission to retrieve my dogs I got access to more places. All of this before I turned loose on the first place. I do know other guys that have been known to run these places. I also know they don't have permission. Now if I hunt camp A and u hunt camp B I don't figure I need to ask ur permission to hunt my place. I do however say that I should do what I can to stay off u. Including not turning loose on the line. If my dogs get on u I will retrieve them and will not turn loose again until I am well within the property I hunt. I expect the same from u.

I have one place I hunt that is also hunted by others. If they are hunting I ask to join or wait till another day, I ask they do the same. I don't care for the fact that I drive by 4 days in a row and see 8 to 10 rigs hunting the place. I also don't like that when the owner gets in a bind in the middle of the summer I am the only one that will run. The other group hits this place real hard during the week in the spring when it's cold. I work during the day and that option is out for me. By the weekend it has been hunted 4 days in a row no reason to go now. After a few weeks of this all that is left is the Michael Lewis hogs that run for days, I understand the land owner is doing what he can to remove the hogs but I would like a lil gravy as well instead of cotton mouths and gators.

One more issue to me is an invite is only good for one hunt. That doesn't mean u can go there whenever u please.
