Fed up with public hunting land: Where has sportsmanship gone?

This morning several public fields were targeted by weagle & co for crow hunting. We get to Field #1 early and as we are getting out of the truck another vehicle quickly pulls in beside us and 2 dudes get out.

Dudes: 'What are you guys about to do?'
weagle: 'Crow hunt'
Dudes: 'Yeah? Us too. We are going in to these pines. Want to hunt with us?'

Dudes then throw their stuff on and almost jog into the property.

Crow hunting is a one time deal for a given piece of property. Once it is shot, it is over for the day basically.

We left and went somewhere else.

My point: On public land you have zero recourse, and seemingly have to deal with a steady stream of jacklegs. Honestly had we already been in there those same shitheads would have probably come in on us. The sportsmanlike thing to have done was for the second group to recognize 'dibs' and either move to another piece of property or ask to join the first group, IMO.

There seem to be alot of people who hunt, but very few sportsmen and they seem to congregate on public land. I mostly duck hunt public waters and was planning on shooting doves during 2nd season on a few public fields. BS like this morning has soured me on both at the moment.
