It's irritating but I agree not much you could do without setting a poor example for a young hunter.
A buddy and I pulled up to a flooded low water crossing and started pitching lures about day light. We were hammering the bass, big little and in between. Some dweeb parked behind us boxing us in and then proceeded to set up between us. The water way might have been 25 ft wide.
I accidentally cast over his line about every 3rd try.

Last Saturday my youngest grandson and I went hunting for the last several hours of the day. My plan was to hunt to a point of terrain where I
had seen deer feeding on acorns many times over the years. I thought maybe we would make a loop and circle both sides of the forest road that we drove in on.
While helping him with his tangled orange vest,I saw a truck approaching like they were late for work. The fellow stopped and asked me if we were just coming out or leaving
to which I said, just starting. He then asked me which side of the road that we planned on hunting. I asked why? He said he would hunt the side of the road that we were not
going to be on. I responded that we may make a loop and hunt both sides,and wondered why on such a long road in the middle of a public land forest that he needed to hunt there.
He was irritated and took off down the road. We walked up the road to clear some heavy beech brush and he passed us coming the other way. I could see his stop lights come on and him pullover
150 yards up the road-(he was parked there when we left at quitting time.) We abandoned our plan to make a loop and just headed to the "point" that I wanted to get to. I was more
concerned about my 12 year old grandson seeing me as a hypocrite as I always say that "this is supposed to be fun" Honestly,,,if its public or we call it State Land here,,,I think he was being courteous offering to hunt whatever side you guys were not hunting on.

Well it's public land. He may have scouted the area and found it to be a good spot. He was courteous in asking where you were going so he wouldn't interrupt your hunt. He would hunt the opposite side that you were going. He must have assumed you were going into the woods to sit rather than walk around. How I would have handled it would have been to stay to one side of the road if he wanted to sit. Honestly,,,if its public or we call it State Land here,,,I think he was being courteous offering to hunt whatever side you guys were not hunting on. It stinks that your plans were ruined by another guy looking to hunt the same area but I agree with the two guys above. It’s happened to me while turkey and deer hunting. We usually ask each other what area each of us are heading to and one of us heads in another direction. It’s just common courtesy and the way it should be handled.
Eh...wot?

That was nothing...I once was sitting in my blind on Gov land, and some bunghole with an ATV comes roaring along thru the woods, parks that stinking Piece 'O Crap about 100 ft away from me and starts walking further into the woods. I'm dressed in orange, and I know he saw me, 'cause I saw him look, at me. I complained to him and he acted all put out about it,. but got back on and rode it back the way he came. About 20 min later here he comes, walking back in to his stand. Didn't say squat.
Another guy was in my ground blind when I got to it, Had the nerve to claim he'd fluffed up the camo some, I guess to have some kind of claim on it. So I just went a 100 yds or so further down the ridge, and made a quick brush blind. I shot a Buck that, wouldn't you know it, dropped dead right in front of that blind. But the guy was gone, so I gutted my Deer right in front of the blind, and even threw scraps in the brush of the blind. LOL
