RE: Sharing private land with gun hunters?
I hunt on some land that my dad and uncles all bought a while back (80 acres)--we (about 10-12 people) all rifle hunt it, but I'm the only one that goes out with a bow. I've talked to all of 'em, and they tell me I can use their stands as long as I don't use it about 2 weeks before rifle season starts. Its ok with them.
Still, though, I usually try to set up about 50-100 yards away from their stands--if I set up by one at all. I don't see anything wrong with using one of theirs (or setting up near it)--I just know some other spots that I can use that no one rifle hunts.
In my opinion, as long as you're not stepping on any toes, I don't see a problem.
