For some reason this sentence typed by Bulzeye struck me and has made me laugh for 2 minutes!

"Also, if you hunt public land, you can take advantage of the lazy idiots who come in after shooting time opens and disturb the deer from their regular early beds or travel routes." BULZEYE

Sorry No.

Not funny but the truth. Another is to outlast the lazy people who go in for lunch and sit longer than htey doand get a push of deer late in the morning that people push when they leave the woods. WCL

Actually the real fun begins if you can get to the back side if the public land before the other guys start moving in, then all the deer come your way. If you can walk about 500 yrds you go further than most. If you stay past 10am you stay longer than most.

hunting public is alot differnt then hunting privet. You work hard for every deer I hunt both and public is a hole animal by its self at least in this part of the country. There should be a sign going into the norhtern half of wisconsin that says "if its brown its down" thats what everyone dose around here.

"Sorry No."--Dang Motown you are tough crowd. It just sounds funny because my dad talks like that alot and it just makes me laugh. I read it again and it is still funny.

I hunt the same public-piece Bulzeye hunts, and it's true. You wouldn't believe how many people come in right at first light. And they come in all hours of the morning. You will see alot more deer if you get in early and go in farther. Most of these guys don't go 400-500-yards in. If that. I walked under a guy 2 weeks ago that couldn't have been 200-yards from the lot.

So, to answer your question, no.

Just had that happen to me, Except this city hunter decided to run to his stand this morning. If your going to go scouting the day before gun season opens, rember bow hunters might be taking advantage of their last day to hunt.

I hunt heavily pressured public land. It is amazing and frustrating how many hunters wander/stomp around a half hour after sunrise and an half hour before sunset.

I also saw a bunch of guys going to hang treestands last weekend. That's fineexcept they didn't have any idea where they were going to hang them. They were wandering around, talkingand making a racket onlya couple ofhours before the end of shooting light. They disturbed other hunters who already had stands in place and got out there early.

It's public land so you really can't do anything but try to smile and shake your head. (Getting mad doesn't help.)
