What would your reaction be?

I think I'd of figured out how tough someone was in that situation. Total BS. You should have driven away with 17 valve stems in your cup holder.

34 would've been even better.

We pay taxes on everything, grocery, gas, insurance, and everything else year round. We deserve to have the fields to ourselves opening weekend.

Other states reserve up to a week of hunting on public for their residents. KS should too.

When you're hunting public, as long as the invaders are safe not sure there's a legitimate complaint that goes beyond we were here first. The best thing is try to take advantage of the situation. A big party will move almost all the birds in the area they cover. Position yourself to take advantage of that if possible. One time five of us were taking a line down a half of CRP walk-in. Two random pickups pulled up adjacently and three hunters emerged and joined our line, just like that, no conversation. I moved my group over to make room. They had a good dog. They were safe and silent. The other two in their group drove to the end of the walk-in and blocked. All in all, they improved the hunt. Weird but OK.

Again why I don’t hunt opening weekend or even the second weekend. Today well into the second month of season(state not mentioned) I hunted several public spots and never saw another hunter.
