[QUOTE="Varmint Hunter, post: 2241405, member: 313"] I recently hunted moose in Maine as a non-resident hunter. I had a once-in-a-lifetime tag. I located a reputable outfitter and arrived in camp a few days early so that I could scout areas with my outfitter. He selected a remote area which he was watching for some time and had cameras up which produced a few bulls. The location was reachable by logging roads. On opening morning we arrived at our location several hours before daylight. I asked why we needed to be there so early and was told that once their trucks (2) were there that no other hunters would try hunting the area. "Locals respect the first vehicle/hunters in any location" I was told. It sounded good but a 1/2 hour before daylight two other pick-ups arrived and passed by peering into our vehicles. They parked within eyesight of our location. They began calling, we were calling, it was just messed up. We eventually left the area. In the vast wilderness areas of Maine there was just no reason for this to happen but the late arrivals just didn't give a crap. [/QUOTE]
