Seriously, the way I hunt state land or public land is screw you. No offence to anyone on this forum. But when it come's to hunting state or public land it's first come first served. Well I'm sorry, but that doesn't seem to apply anymore. There are just too many slob hunters out there now, they don't care if they are infringing on another hunter or not. They think that since their taxes are paying for that property they can do what ever they want. They can care less if someone has spent umteen hours scouting an area out, setting up a blind or what ever. They have the right to be there. Well in my book that is nothing but bullsh.t. I have for years tried hunting state land and come opening day had someone ruin it for me. People don't scout during the off season, but come hunting season they seem to find where you have scouted during the off season and will setup right next to you. As far as I'm concerned, I will shoot off my gun make all the noise in the world and make the other hunters leave the the area. And I will do so until everyone leaves! I now hunt private property and I am the only one allowed to be there. It doesn't pay to be th nice guy anymore.
