Ya, thats public land. I was hunting a strip of timber between 2 fieldsduring the rut one year. Had a nice buck come to within 75yds of me, working my way when all of a sudden he throws his head up& swaps ends& takes off. Here comes 3 pheasant hunters. The older fella stops under my tree & the other two set up to drive the field to him. Now I'm picturing this guy swinging on a bird in my direction & blowing me out of the tree. I didn't want to yell to him but he didn't hear me whistling. After yelling to him he was so startled he almost threw the gun into the air. Says he took his hearing aides out because of the shooting.
