So as everyone knows, public land is a popular place to chase game and anyone going out can expect that every step you take scouting, someone has (or will) scout the same spots. It always amazes me that when i finally feel like i set foot in the most remote area, i see a marking flag or evidence of human activity.
Hunting in Florida following the rain we’ve already had and the hurricane on the way, the game is going to be channeled on land bridges between swamps and ponds but unfortunately that limits the same hunters to smaller ground. I’ve scouted an area with about 6 scrapes and set cameras to find some nice bucks in the area which i planned on hunting. I came back today and noticed someone has put up marking flags almost right by my camera to indicate their potential “spot.”
So i guess the question is, what’s the etiquette when trying to hunt areas like this? We’ve both identified good ground and despite the flagging tape being against the policy of the management area, i get what the other hunter is indicating.
