I am new to hunting of any sort. As my friend and I talk about finding a lease I am still talking about public land. His main concern is theft. Has anyone had any issues with stands and such being taken from public lands. he also is very concerned about overcrowding. To me it seems that eveyone is concerned about that so everyone stays away from public lands, which in my mind means that there might actually be very few people on the public lands. any thoughts?
Crowded during gunseason weekends for sure. Not so bad during gun season week days sometimes. Not a lot of folks out there during archery season, especially on the week days. I dont EVER leave my climber out on public land. Good way for it to be gone when you get back.
