As far as etiquette goes public or private, I don’t understand people sitting in someone elses stand.
Sit near it if you want, as its public land and anything goes but dont sit in it. That to me is disrespectful and asking for trouble.
I will say ive gone in in the dark on public land, found a spot climbed up and when it got light noticed I was near or one time litterally next to someone elses stand.
At that point, fuxck no im not getting down, and do not feel one bit of remorse about it. As that day, I got out of bed earlier and got there first. and public land is first come first serve. Tough shit. If the person came in later and said nothing but went up in their stand I cant bitch about it either as long as they didnt bitch to me about setting up near their stand
Hunting on public land sucks because I know someone would bitch to me about setting a climber next to their fixed when they have absolutely no right to. Yet because they set a fixed stand there they think theyve “reserved” that whole patch of woods. NFW, not how it works
