I need some help making a decision. I have thought about this for a week now and I still can't come to a final decision. Here is the situation:

I hunt on public land (conservation area) where it is bow only. There are two homemade deer stands within 10 yards of each other right where I want to hunt. (Very few viable options to hang other stands) All stands are legal and properly tagged.

My question is, on public land, what is the proper etiquette on using someone else’s stand on public land?

Please keep in mind I rarely hunt on weekends. I usually hunt mid-week in the mornings.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
