I have had this happen many times. I just recently moved to New Hampshire from Central PA. I am originally from New England, but have lived in PA for the last 9 years. I spent a lot of time on public ground up in north central PA (armenia mountain) and the pressure there was ridiculous, hunters walking 50 yards away as your calling. I was very please this year when I spent time in the New England woods this spring, it is nice to be able to hunt public property all day long without seeing another hunter. That never happens in PA.
