That is just really wrong man. No reason to do someone so dirty. If you only want to hunt 6-day. . . fine. If you only want to drive. . . fine. But some people seriously have to learn to share the woods. We know the antis always have their ear to the ground when it comes to anything a hunter does or says that may advance their misinformed ideals. Vandalism like this only serves to validate the stereotype they wish to cast us all under to the non-hunting public.
 
I just got back from checking a property that we own and I posted about 3 months ago. I'm pissed!! They actually ripped down all my posted signs!! What balls!! If anyone is on this property next week they WILL be in for a surprise! You're right A-holes are everywhere[mad]
 
Same here wasted 2 days off work to hunt with the muzzleloader. Did'nt see a deer. The reason being 20 mins after I got out of my stand for the morning hunt guys came through and pushed the piece. I know this because I have a trail cam pic of the guy in full orange walking between my stand and feeder. This ground is well posted but they are accessing it from behind a business down the road.
I called teh wardens 2 days ago and still have not gotten a call back[mad]
 
Spend everyday there I'm sure you will run into them.
 
Again with Another ridiculous comment. Ive been hunting with my club since i was 10 and was walking the woods even before that and have never ever seen or even heard a guy in my club mention of doing anything to a tree stand or another hunters property. We pass right by it. Maybe other clubs do it but you cant group us all together!!
Your club maybe not, but I have been in the woods and have had clubs get pissed at the pot hunters as they call them. Cutting down stands, granted your not allowed permanent stands on WMA's, but none the less when they drive the woods they think its theirs.

Do you guys have competitions with other clubs to get your drive in first. They have actually had fights down here over driving the same piece.

Talked to a Warden last year. He said that the competition was so fierce for getting in first on opening day last year, he had clubs calling the CO's on each other. I guess some clubs came down to Cumberland and Salem County from the tabernacle area and set up where other clubs usually hit the woods. Five clubs were fighting over lining up the same drive at dawn the first day...he said it was a tense morning. Said he has wished for years the State would prohibit such drives but they will not.
 
well one of these days one of us is going to get smart and put a cam up a tree near our tree stand and catch one of these s.o.b 's.
my problem is i don't know what i will do if a catch someone in person. i can tell you one thing he will be walking with a limp for awhile

Never...seems like all these problems with clubs are south of Jackson. All the clubs in the Jackson/New Egypt area get along pretty well. We all know members from each club and all support each other. We go to fund raisers they have during the year and they come to ours. It must be different further south.
 
e one thing I can't stand is the paint. Cut your trails but why paint every other tree?
the practice of creating "BLAZES" where the clubs slash the sides of the trees to have the drivers follow a course is dumb.it looks like hell and in this day and age get a gps already if you dont know where you are. my buddy hunted the county parks a couple years back and found a poo poo present in his tree stand identification bag that was posted on the tree.his ladder stand was bent up on the bottom.
 
some of the clubs that push assunpink are ok and seen others that are real a holes i peronly would like to see it out lawed ive seen good areas become deerless for the rest of the season you drive a piece every day they wont come back till the season is over push it once and thats it
 
the zone 55 boys are tough. I think there is 5 differnt clubs in there & 2 drive ML. I don't get on the clubs for driving because its legal but do get on the state for not regulating it or comeing up with a compromise.
 
I did it before when I was younger [deer drives with a large club], and am not a big fan of it. I witnessed too many shananagens and territorial bullshit for me to ever want to drive with a club ever again. That coupled with the attitude of club members towards us "pot hunting" in public land that we hunted all year long and is open to everyone , not just them exclusively, has etched a very negative opinion about them deer driving . Personally , I think drives should be limited to private club property.
