What I would have done I have did. Get out of the area if letting the other hunter know you were there and he/she still stayed in the area.
Instead of scouting public hunting areas I would start looking for places to hunt on private property. Farmer down the road from me will let any one hunt his woods and fields for deer if they first ask permission and promise to shoot at least one doe.
Get rid of cable TV only use basic cell phone IE no smart phone and the money saved will many times make payments on property of your own or a lease to hunt.
