Me and my dad were hunting this year in the northeastern region close to are cabin. both me and my hunted hard every day for the whole week while we were up there hoping to see a big deer like the one we got the year before, and all we seen from opening morning to thursday night was just two points and spike nothing big enough for us to squeeze the trigger. every day of the week my dad and i would park and walkin on old roads that have been blocked off by the forest service so that it helps with vegetation and watershed, we also love it cause its nice walking on those old roads. we walk on the roads quit aways trying to get away from people , trucks and four wheelers. after walking in the same road for six days straight it was some what getting discouraging not seeing the big buck yet and just a lot of does and little deer. so we decided we were going to walk in again the same place just not as far as we always do, so we walked about 2 miles to a clearing where we decided we were going to rest a eat are lunch just then the canyon came alive with about 50 head going threw clearing and finally the big 4 point that we have been waiting for was finally in are sights. we sat and watched him for about 10 minutes trying to see if we would come closer finally he did he came within 300 yards of us thats when we shot and we hit it on the first shot and i saw him go down and he got up and started walking down the canyon when we shot again hitting it a second time and it fell again. then it got up again and started walking some more when we shot it again and we watched it fall in the quakes we then walked in to the quakes a couple hundred yards not seeing him with how thich it was when we pushed it into a clearing down the bottom of the canyon a few hundred yards just then when we seen him in the clearing we heard about 10 shots coming down the canyon from 4 hunters that spotted us shooting at him up on top of the mountain (they told us this too) and watched us chase him down the canyon thats when they shot him down. i was the first to the buck thats when i started taking pics of it celebrating when the 4 hunters came down the mountain threatning to fight us if we didnt leave so me and my dad said whatever its not worth die over when they had all the rifles in there hands loaded and the safetys off. we started heading to the truck disapointed when we saw a four wheeler going down the road that we have walked in on to go retrieve there 4 point that they wanted to fight us for. me and my dad both got to the truck exhausted when we heard the four wheeler coming back up the road we stopped him and took pics of him and his four wheeler got his license number and we had proof of him going right around the gate and the fence that was blocked off. the next morining my dad and i headed back to are same spot but not seeing much we headed back to the truck and made are way back up the mountain so we pulled out on a point and started to class when we saw another guy from the same group of hunters up on top of a mountain hauling a two by three. about 5 minutes later the man dropped the deer leaving it there to bake in the sun when he finally got back to are side of the mountain we walked over and asked him if he was going to back to get his deer he told me yes. later that night we spent about 2 hours putting as much rocks and old timber on the road as we could when the next morning we watched the same guys drive there two four wheelers around another forest service gate and fence that was blocking of another old. that just goes to prove that it don't matter what you do or what the state does to try to protect wild life and there vegetation you will always get a group of people that will find there way ruin it for every one else. the same group of people had 12 people in it and out of 12 people 8 of them got deer all little two points and spikes besides the big deer the stole from us.
