i think of public land stalkers the same way i do as dogs running deer on private land that im hunting on. if i see a stalker i throw sticks and make noise and tell him to get the freak away from my stand. dogs on our land, im the only one who wont shoot them and then shoot the collar so they cant be tracted. on public land, the ones ive hunted at least, your best bet is to get in the thickest stuff that nobody else will touch because deer know they are safe
Depends on the public land. For instance in the U.P. of Michigan it's basically all public. Now when it comes to these WMA public lands like in Ohio, I get as high in a tree as I can, and walk out with 12 lights.
My dad guides for bear in the U.P. with hounds, all public land. And I can guarantee if you shoot one of his dogs you will be very lucky to ever leave the woods.
