Hunt Etiquette
Went out for my first gun hunt today to a spot my buddy told me to go. Got out a little later then I wanted: Finally in a tree about 6...wanted at least 5. I noticed a blind behind me while setting up but it was empty. I got up in my tree about 6 or so. At about 630, down the trail I was watching, comes a hunter...I knew where he was headed..I chirped at him but no luck. He set up right behind me (20 feet) and the minute he settle in, he saw me...he quickly apologized and moved out. So...my point is...Is it first come first serve so to speak? You own the ground if you are there first?

RE: Hunt Etiquette
on public land , it's kinda first come first served.since he already had his blind setup, then I would say he was first come. JMHO
I always take my light and flash it a couple times to let that person know I am there.whistle or speak lowly.ya never know when they may shoot at a turkey or other bird that takes off flying in youre direction.ya may get shot outta your tree;let them know you there..

RE: Hunt Etiquette
First of all, if it's public land is he allowed to leave a blind there? And second of all why would you set a stand in front of someones blind and then be shocked when someone comes to hunt it? Doesn't make sense to me. I would have just looked for a different spot to begin with. You sort of ruined the guys hunt by throwing a stand up in front of his blind.
