RE: how many hunt public land
Yep sproul. Hunters.
BUT I hunt a private land "zoo" too. Some days/seasons are worse than others, but I can typically gain myself space by heading for the thickest cover. It's too small to "out hike" anyone. I sit in the thick stuff & kill deer while most others hunt fields & where they can see. We have enough deer that they still usually see some, but they are running 500 mph and are tough to hit.
