I've seen this tactic before. Wisconsinite perch fisherpeople and pheasant hunters will do this to shortcut their scouting process in ND (probably other places too). Moan, whine, complain, tell you that everything your state's G&F dept is doing is all wrong, blah, blah, blah.

THIS IS A PLOY!!

The motivation behind this is to find someone gullible enough to "prove them wrong" and give up a honey-hole, or even better (in their eyes) take them hunting to a honey-hole AND show them how to hunt it. If successful, that's now "Their Honey-Hole" and they'll hunt it annually with a dozen or so of their closest friends, and the honey-hole giver-upper won't be invited, thanked, or acknowledged in any way.

Pete53 is looking for a giant sucker.
