Trophys
One thing for sure in our case, we learned early on, around here, to hide any nice antlers from prying eyes in the field (any and all are hid these days, we didn't get anything and we didn't see anything) and would rather not show them off here at home either. Taxidermists, these guys like to talk big time. It seems to encourage talk that leads to increased competition in the general areas of where we like to hunt. It's difficult to convince anyone, that the elk or deer in question, is no longer there, and it's likely it will be a while before another one like him turns up around there. They assume that if you killed one, there are 10 more just like him just waiting for the next fellow to turn up.
We lost track of the other camps that turned up and went home empty handed, and never saw anything, while we were seeing game all day and filled our tags. In our opinion most of the backcountry units in our locale (meaning state) produce similar results, there really isn't any advantage of one place over another. Most depend on the tactics used to how the territory is laid out.
Trapping same thing. Nobody sees any of the catch. (If someone asks what we are doing on the line, our standard answer is " we usually don't say what we are doing"). We don't sell locally. And purchase no supplies locally.
We have to report the catch to the F and G department. And that's bad enough.
Those guys blab anything they learn. Information they learn may as well be broadcast on the radio. They only get the minimum info we are required to give. We rarely give out our name in the field when hunting, and never when trapping.
Memories and pictures, yes, but we keep them "just for us".
That's been our experience. OYE
