there is some great hunting on public land, bow hunt all year and might see a squirrel hunter every once in a while. Gun season is a little different.
98% of the time, most people will accidentaly walk up on you.the other2% will ruin it for you. That 2% is usually idiots.
Alot of Memphis, TN people hunt on the public lands here in MS. Most are supper folks but there is those bad apples (2%) that gives these follow good hunters from Memphis a supper bad name around here.
I wish that I had the time to tell you about these "idiots" that accually pointed the rifle at me, left, come back with more friends, armed with one deer rifle, sawed off pistol grip pump shotgun and a sks. They were hollowing "there he goes" and then start firing every direction while walking a circle around us. that is the scarest that i have ever been---knocked off the safty and told my dad (on the radio) that i'm going to kill these guys.
I ended up not squeazing the trigger. Soon after they headed out still shooting, I heard a young kid scream, "STOP YOU JUST SHOT THE TREE I'M SETTING BESIDE".
You can only amagine how that made me feel. Things run through my head--if I would have just shot one or two of them, that would not have happened to the young person.
God took care of all of us and I have yet to see those idiots back.
You will find more better than good out there, so good luck.
