[QUOTE="schmeeking, post: 2250552, member: 30771"] If you are bow hunting, public land isn't all that bad. If you are gun hunting, be prepared to be preparing for a shot only to watch the deer get shot out from underneath you. My father and I used to hunt a piece of public land near lake Tenkiller. I had hunted the same patch of land all bow season and opening day of black powder. When we came in Sunday morning, I was surprised to see a man in a trees tand literally hunting the same opening I had been for weeks. I have no idea how the guy manged to get a tree stand up from last light Saturday evening to predawn Sunday morning, but I am guessing he didn't get much sleep that night. Same weekend, my dad had a buck traveling in to him, and he watched another hunter shoot it. We haven't been back. We used to take family trips to Three Rivers WMA in the Kiamichis, SE OK. The land is world renowned for being dog hunted heavily. Instead of the familiar chirp of birds, you are more likely to hear to baying of jack Russells running all the deer. I was hunting at the end of a logging road, about 150 yards into the woods. I heard the dogs getting closer and closer, as well as four wheelers running full throttle up and down the logging roads. About the time I had decided the next Jack Russell I saw was leaving injured, a guy pulls up into the woods on a four wheeler ten yards from the tree stand. "Hey I'm hunting here a-hole" "I'll be gone soon enough, take it easy" "Get the f outta here. And the next dog I see if getting popped" "You ought not do that" Then he drove away. I was about 16 at the time, and my Dad informed me that I shouldn't have popped off. Apparently those woods are also known for hunters never returning due to local "stray" bullets. We havent been back there either. Luckily, we have some connections to cattle ranchers in Southwestern OK now, and hunt on private land. We have had more run ins, even on private land. I have learned that in hunting, you just have to expect to see folks and deal with it. [/QUOTE]
