[QUOTE="mudgee hunter, post: 408300, member: 9124"] To me, it depends on the site. If I came across a site that was peppered in recent holes... it dose take away a respect for the area. A hole left without a bucket in a tempting spot... yes I would dig it further. Some creeks get good fast flow often, and leave little trace you where ever there after an inch of rain. And if I was going back to the same hole in a short time, no I wouldn't be tempted to back fill my hole. If it was a one offf dig, then yes... back fill it. Stumbling across a very recent hole and digging into it may cause an issue if the original person shows up. It really is a gentlemans agreement to leave it be when there's a bucket etc. I would surrender it generally if they showed up and had a winge... but not for the village idiot at Hargraves...! Stand your ground to this fool, drives a white 4x4 van. He will lie to you in his first words to you. Keep it green, and fill it in. We don't want the negative backlash of our hobby hey [/QUOTE]
