RE: Hunting Public Land...
I've only encountered an idiot once, but he was a huge one.
This wasn't during bowhunting but I guess I'll post it anyway, this was during turkey season. We had a huge longbeard in the roost, biggest one I ever saw. It was the last day of the season. We were under a pinetree looking over a cornfield. And he came down and wouldn't respond to any of our calls, he was just circling around in the field. We were watching him for atleast 2 hours and he had just started coming towards us. He was at about 60 yards and this guy just like jumps out from the bushes and the bird flies off. I have no clue what this guy was doing, he was wearing camo but he didn't have a gun. Either way, he saw us and ran off before I could say anything to him.
I'm still mad about that, and I haven't seen that longbeard since.
