I had this as a reply before... now giving it its own thread to open it up.
Is there any etiquette for marking spots that you would like to hunt? I know technically on public land anyone can hunt anywhere, but It would be smoother if we worked together. In my area, I live next to thousands of acres of public land. And I scout and plan, and run trail cams from august to November, and then get my spots picked out... only to find on opening day, there is going to be someone else 15yds from me, who lives 6 hours away and hasn't been up here since last year. I know he has the same rights as me, but it is still frustrating when I put the time in. Just wondering if there any acceptable methods for making your intentions known so I am not stepping on any ones toes out there. Obviously it would be better for everyone.
