Well, for those who unload by firing: Would you fire to unload in a Public hunting area and ruin the hunt for someone else?
While im hunting and i feel i need to unload, i fire it off at camp. Noone in my area ever hunts in camp so its not a big deal. Ive never seen hunters set up camp in prime hunting areas, they either walk or drive closer to the area before parking and then walking the rest of the way. Plus, when you can hear your neighbors laughing and hollering to eachother, its a pretty good guess they wont mind you firing off your shot. I know where we camped and where the deer actually were, was a good 20-25 minute drive.
I understand, but in FL on WMA's (Public Land) you can't fire anyweapon in the designated camping area. You have to go to the designated rifle range if they have one. If there is one, it will be a couple of miles in the opposite direction than the hunting area. I'm talking about 55,000 or 65,000 acre WMA's.
