Well it's 2 weeks in and I must say, I'm not very proud of our fellow Wisconsin pheasant hunters thus far.
So far each weekend I've found people out on public land not wearing any blaze orange and hunting pheasant. Today, when I call the guy out on it, he verbally accosts me. I'm not the one breaking the law, be a man and own up to it. No one wonder why farmers won't let us hunt on their land anymore. I for one don't want to get caught in the middle of a bloody mess because your not responsible enough to be visible.
Second gripe: This weekend as well as last I run into a group of 4 hunters making a push on a field right at me. I assume they can't see me and continue hunting, but they just keep coming. Just because you have more hunters in your party doesn't give you the right to hunt right through a person. It's completely not safe and can make you feel very uncomfortable, especially since you already know the group is not exercising strong judgment.
I already stopped hunting at Bong because of these types of reckless actions and for the last 2 years have never run into a problem but this year has been ridiculous and that's putting it lightly.
I for one am glad I'm not a game warden because the people we have out there hunting will surely drive you crazy.
I've hunted in Kansas, Minnesota, Iowa, and South Dakota and have not seen anything even close to this bad in all my years.
So there you have it, it's been said and I should feel better but I guess I need to finish this beer first and then maybe it will sink in.
Hope others are having better luck running into respectful and law biding hunters.
