What's your worst experience in the WIHA?

We were working a thick brushy area towards a raised roadway. When we were about 100 yards away two trucks pulled up with about 20 guys. They stopped and the guys piled out and started blocking for us. I didn't like it at all. They were about 10 feet higher than we were and I felt like I was going to shoot at them if a bird flew. When we got to the road, they all went to their truck and drove off without a word. It was odd.

I had a deer hunter pull up at about 10 am as we were working a field. We had 2 trucks and 4 guys. He parked next to my truck and walked into the woods about 40 yards from my truck. On our back to the truck my dog picked up a track and started to track. She tracked directly to a hunter sitting under a cedar tree. He came flying out of there yelling. He yelled to his son that they were leaving and they stormed off. I said I was sorry (even though we were there first).
 
I thought what they said sounded fishy! I've even found WIHA signs several yards in the field where someone had tried to hide them. That particular field was full of pheasants last year and even had chickens in it.
 
We just got back from our annual Kansas pheasant hunt near Dodge City (been going out there since 1996). We were going to hunt a WIHA Saturday morning, got out there about 5minutes too late, three guys already there working a pretty big field......so headed down the road to some private ground I was saving for later in the day. Hit it and BAM, got more birds out of there than we would have in the WIHA.

Moral, I am an ethical hunter, that is how I was raised and that's how I am teaching my 15yr old son who was with me and 5 other guys....I didn't like the fact that we had spent time and gas driving there only to have to spend more time and gas driving to another spot, however it paid off because I did the right thing.

One of the guys in my group jokingly suggested that we needed to carry some WIHA signs around with us, just in case...

I have shared WIHAs in the past, and it has worked. In both cases we knew of the other group's presence (and they knew of our presence) before anyone started hunting.

Yeah, it works if the field is big enough and you catch the group before they hit the field.

That would be funny to carry some WIHA signs....The WIHA that I hunt around that part of KS are BIG.....it would take 3 guys nearly half or over half a day to hunt.

Last year I invited a guy from the CO forum (he hadn't hunted down in SW KS before, just CO and parts near Burlington) and when he saw some of the ground we hunted and the cover (this was last year mind you) he was blown away.

I said heck you should have seen it back in the late 90s.....South Dakota what:rolleyes:;):D
