[QUOTE="fishfurlife, post: 1829853, member: 15170"] For the most part, you are really over thinking it. You hit on some concerns of public land hunting and they are all concerns that you just learn to cope with. it is like an added element to figuring out a mature buck. If you hunt on public land long enough, you will see another hunter/hunters, you will walk across another hunter, other hunters will walk across you, you will feel like your hunts have been ruined. I hunt public 99% of the time and have dealt with all of the above, so does nearly every other public land hunter. My point is that the better part of public land hunters are out there just like you and are concerned about their own safety just as much as you are. Don't worry about how much space you can share before A) Your hunt is compromised B) Your safety is compromised. Just be safe yourself. Hunting accidents on public land are very few and far between. Treat it just like hunting the 40 acres with several stand sites to choose from in the sense that you will always need to have a back up plan if and when needed. Most WMA's are open to the public to venture around at your own free will. Just be sure to have a hunting license on hand as it is required, or you can purchase the conservation passport. You need one or the other and I would suggest buying the hunting license as you will actually use it. As an added bonus, Unlike popular belief in most areas, I would guess that every WMA has mature bucks running around that most guys would love to shoot. I only figure this because I am yet to hunt a WMA that I have not stumbled on to a great buck worth chasing. [/QUOTE]
