sskybnd Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: shafted on public land!!! that was very sportsman like of you, knowing it is puplic land. first come first serve, if you want to hunt public land you have to be the first one to the spot, or someone else might get there first. im glad you wished him good luck.

Guest Finn Posted October 8, 2006 Report Share Posted October 8, 2006 Re: shafted on public land!!! Sorry to hear, but good job on your reaction. Not much you can do when you don't own the land. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doc Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Re: shafted on public land!!! It doesn't hurt to have a half dozen or more stand areas picked out when you are hunting public land. Doc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
123 4/8 P&Y Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 Re: shafted on public land!!! One time on public land I had a guy try to hang a stand twenty yards from my tree. That was fine by me, except he was doing it while I was sitting in my stand! After a little while I whistled and waved at him. With a surprised look he waved back, and then packed up his stuff and left. I don't think his ruckus helped my hunt. But I don't think he would have done it on purpose if he knew I was sitting there. I must have had some good cover around my stand! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
