I reckon ask around and find out were othres are hunting n give there spot a burl. Providing they don' t mind you hunting there. Otherwise just go into the bush were you think there might be suitable game to hunt and start looking around. In relation to seeing another hunter if you are not tresspassing then who cares. But I would pesonally look for somewhere else to hunt in a different area unless I knew there was something BIG in that area. But I would keep looking untill I found somewhere where no-one else hunts. But I don' t see any problem with sharing as long as it is safe to do so.
Happy Hunting
