Hey swamp, you did nothing wrong. Every hunter knows the woes of hunting on public land, and if they don't they should. I know where your heart was but the bottom line is just because you hang some brightly colored tape on some trees doesn't mean you can sleep in an extra hour. I've known people to go as far as sitting in other peoples tree stands they left in the woods they say if its on public property and no one is in it it's now there for public use. Obviously we all have to determine where the line is but on public land as everyone has said it is first come first serve.
