LAST EDITED ON Oct-21-04 AT 09:14AM (MST)[p]Hello fellow kali resident,
Just wanted to take a second to pass along some guidelines in an attempt to help our image in other states that we enjoy traveling to and hunting in. We have it pretty good here, but for those of you oblivious to the world around you, the California plate pretty much says to the rest of the west that your a rich kid wanna be that doesn't give a crap about anyhting but killin' the biggest deer / bull on the hill. We roll in with our 30k dollar rigs and fancy gear, gigglin' and carryin' on because we are on vacation. The people you come across are not on vacation. They live and work in the heaven that we crave.
1: Don't litter, anywhere, anytime. Period. Get off your fat ass and find a garbage can, or stash it in your pack or truck till later.
2: Instead of checkin' out the waitress like a sailor that's been at sea for 12 years, tip her and tip her big. 2, 3, 4 bucks a head for any meal isn't gonna break you, after all this trip is costing a couple grand. Fork it over and spread it around. Maybe the cook won't spit in your eggs on the way home.
3: If your going to be guided or pay a trespass fee, tip the ranch manager or guide, they are working their ass of for you. That tip shouldn't be tied to the size of the rack either.
4. Be nice to people in the towns you stop at. Tip your hat and say thank you. Everyone knows what a bad ass you are, the big Kali hunter going to kill a monster. Leave the chest beating at home tarzan, and have some manners. Your a visitor.
5: Tread lightly. For you less than athletic types that can afford an atv, it's not a god given right to track it up and down evey hill. Stay on the trail and don't tear up the country. Get off that toy and see what its like to get some leg burn, and see if those lungs still work. You'll love it.
6: Don't trespass. Period. Most states don't have to post their property, so buy map and learn how to read it.
7: Don't road hunt on the highway or any other paved roads. Your license plate already gives you away, don't make it any worse for the rest of us.
8: Give other hunters a wide berth.
9: Make it a point to help someone out.
10: Leave the potty mouth in the truck, no 9 year old in the coffe shop needs to hear you drop f-bombs.
11: SLOW DOWN. We live life at a breakneck speed here on the left coast. We talk, drive, eat, move FAST!!! It's just the way our day to day has shaped us. When you head east, they attitude relaxes a bit, and so should yours. Slow down everything. Why rush when you want the week to last forever?? Soak it up, it's the good stuff.
12: To sum it all up don't be a a-hole.
Have fun, be safe, work your butt off, and enjoy the home of some fellow americans. Were all in the same gang. Go back and read about my trip last year, I hope your all lucky enough to have such an experience.
