I’ve hunted public land in Texas, it’s scary as hell.
Same in Louisiana, should have a good life insurance policy. The few times I hunted public land in Louisiana, there was quite a bit shooting well before daylight. You just “hunker down”, and hope you don’t slow down a round! memtb
The only time I've ever been actually shot at while hunting, was on public lands. That's why I use a climber on public lands.
In my post I wasn’t shot at, merely shots fired prior to daylight...“any” daylight. I was in my tree stand, well before light, and when the shots were fired....I got rather intimate with the tree, not knowing which direction the shots were fired! Unlikely to be hit, but you pucker-up, none the less! memtb
