my neighbor went down to the lake of the ozarks this year. when daylight came, he counted 17 other hunters all withing 120 yard of him, and when a doe came thru, everyone fired at the same time. He got down and walked out 7 miles to the nearest road and hitchhiked home. I'd invest in a bullet proof vest if I were going on public land. Just a thought. be safe and good luck.
