The other 2 times the people truly were surprised there were hunters in the park and didn't know it was allowed and made a really big deal about it.

I definitely try and avoid hunting Saturdays in 936.
My general demeanor tends to discourage stupidity so I can’t say I’ve run into any more than a sideways look...but you absolutely should take a video and call it in if this happens. Interfering with a lawful hunt. The officers there will deal with it promptly, hunters are vital to managing wildlife especially in 936.
