[QUOTE="Mescalero, post: 5213243, member: 21439"] I am currently "relegated" to hunting only public land. I am also afraid of snakes, which is why next year I'm not starting my season until more likely mid-October when pre-twilight temps are below 60. I am also concerned about stepping in some serious holes. Two weeks ago I ventured to a different part of the public I'm hunting. On the way back out around 11am, I came upon a "hole" that I would describe as a chasm. It was probably 3' x 4' and 20' deep. It gave me the shivers. Had I gone that route in the morning and fallen in, I would never have been found. I avoided that area of rocks due to my fear of snakes and it was warm that Saturday. Last season, I focused on one particular part of the public I'm hunting. I'm more comfortable there, but there are some major sink holes and other similar types of smaller chasms that I came across in that area. This year, I'm trying a number of different parts of the public land during archery to get a better idea of what there is to offer. I'm not concerned about other hunters now. But in a few weeks/month, yeah I think the white light is the way to go. I've thought about entering nearer hunting light, but on public chances are you are too late and other guys are somewhere in there and you don't know where. And during gun season, that's not a good idea. [/QUOTE]
