I was watching a big antelope buck in a fairly popular area and had the guides in question pull up just to let me know that the private property started just 1 1/2 mile to the west of where I was. Another words they had a client that wanted to kill the goat I was watching, they just wanted to make sure the antelope knew I was there to help keep me from putting a sneak on him.
Then run in to the usual illegal land posting and even had them on the private side cutting elk off as we were trying to call them over to us.
I did end up on their property, on accident and was run off by the guides. No fence, in a spot that they had a dead tree painted red. Had my head up my butt while my buddy (who was new to the area) drove onto a private section while scouting. We left, and the rancher ran me down. I appologized and told him it was my fault, and it would not happen again, but he kept pushing my buttons, I almost wanted to pound his eyes shut that day.
Is that ethical?
