I have experienced a few (very) of these unpleasant incidents here in BC, especially with "quad" jockies, most non-hunters, but, overall, we BC hunters usually treat each other very well while in the field.
Back in 2009, a hunting partner and I came out of Pass Creek and Ladybird Creek, close by Castlegar, BC, midday, after passing on two Mulies, that while legal in Oct., showed a lot of potential for becoming REAL busters. I won't kill bucks like this as I can only use a small amount of any meat for my wife and I and I do not need to "fill an ark" to supposedly be an "outdoorsman", as some 'net posters seem to feel the only mark of a "real" outdoorsman.
WE met four, younger guys, quads, 4x4s, local licence plates, ours showed Vancouver insignia and my buddy, an immigrant to Canada, was a bit concerned as he has a noticable accent and thought that these guys might well resent we "non locals" hunting in "their" region. The local Member of Parliament, a socialist and the provincial MLA, also a socialist and a feminist, had been recently speaking out publicly against "non local" hunters...that is, other BC people who happen to live 400 miles away......
But, I told him to stop and we got out and inspected the Mulie they had just shot, one that was the size that we had passed on. I walked up,smiled and said, "nice buck" or something and ALL of these young guys grinned, stuck oout their hands and the first question the shooter asked was, "it's too hot today for good hunting, just got lucky and would you guys care for a cold beer, we have a few left in my cooler"
We spent about 45 minutes yakking with them, VERY friendly, just all BC guys out hunting and then left for a valley close to my birthplace where there are LOTS of huge Elk...and, yeah, I DID tell these guys about a back road that gets you plus truck close to it.
MOST, of my hunting encounters have been like this, so, I just hope BC stays this way and the current campaign in our public schools, by, The BC Teacher's Federation. to vilify hunters and stop all "sports hunting" will fail....but, the slime are busy and we hunters NEED to realize that our basic traditions are under constant, highly skilled, ruthless and, all too often, foreign-funded attack...even in the schools OUR taxes pay for and by those we pay.....the REAL enemies of basic decency in BC/Canada!
