Dust keep going and find your own spot
Personally, I give a wide berth around other hunters, or in this case other hunter's stuff, when I hunt public land... I am of the opinion that if it's not mine, I leave it alone and move on...
Not been lazy, keep going!
But, next year I might look at the area a little closer to see the potential.
Not to hijack, but how about game cams? If you stumbled across one, would you open it, then remove and view the memory card pictures on your phone/tablet and then replace?
Keep going. It's just good manners.
Would you want someone hunting your spot if you have been baiting it since October? Probably not...
I am being a real dik here but..........
Leave it and hunt somewhere else, maybe hunt some other crown land..........
If I find the crown land first I should be able to do as I please on it and not worry about other hunters interfering with my hunt. I like to find crown land and put as many stands up as possible just to discourage others from hunting this public land. Maybe next year get in there early, say, August, put tree stands all over the place so you can keep the place to yourself after all, crown land belongs to the first person that places a tree stand or apple pile or pale next to a tree.
Crown land in southern Ontario is so rare that individuals leaving tree stand/blinds etc.... are selfish and lazy....
What happened to leave no footprint behind
I would not hunt it either and just move on. Everyone should try and live by the "leave no footprint behind" especially on public land......
"Leave no footprint behind" to me is not a daily thing. You setup a site for the season and when you are tagged out you take it out. I mean how would you hunt bear, as an example. First come first serve...Quote:
