Spring Scouting Ethics-- how would members handle this??

[LaLongbeard]

This happened to me a few years ago.
Only difference, it was during the season.
I was setup in one of my favorite spots well before dawn. I was setup, and about 20 min later, I saw lights and and a truck park on a dirt road. I then saw a flashlight beam walking to right where I was sitting!
Knowing my hunt was screwed up, I shined a light right back so they knew I was there.
They continued towards me, and setup about 50 yards to my left!
I was furious!!!
I went, got my stuff rather noisily, went to my truck, and honked the horn goodbye on my way out!

Been there. But I'm not leaving a gobbling bird to a moron if someone comes in on me and it's obvious he knew I was there and decided to keep hunting NOBODY is killing that gobbler even if I have to climb the tree he's in and shove him off the limb. After that we can argue fight or have a shoot out I don't really care. I've had several run ins with these Coon A$$ retards on public land in Louisiana after a while they stopped parking next to me , it's like training any dumb animal if you let them have there way they'll never act right.

Don't  know about the shoot out, but you are right, if that were me, the only thing I am sure would be no one was killing that bird that day.

what you should have done is hid behind something. waited till the guy got within 10 feet, then cut down on him with that whistle you have. guarantee the sob would never come back.
