[QUOTE="Bone Collector, post: 4895820, member: 7419"] This is my biggest fear when I hunt public. The second bird I shot, I knew two other guys were hunting near by and they must have heard the shot. One of them drove past where I was parking and slowed down and looked at me before continuing on and parking with his buddy who was parked next to a different block of woods. I couldn't hunt M-Th that week and in the meantime these guys followed my game plan and shot a bird (I believe) on the bordering private land. That Friday I went in and no one was there. I got about 2/3 of the way back to my spot and i bumped a hen off the roost. I was standing there mad and trying to decide to go somewhere else or continue to my spot and I kept hearing this noise (thump, thump, thump) I look up and here comes the Googan express right behind me. It was their decoy bags bouncing off their legs. There is only one place to park to get into this wood block in that area, so they actually parked next to me and walked right in, knowing i was there, but not knowing where I was. LUCKILY they took the same path and I was able to get them to stop walking and look at me at 7-8 yds and I told them I was going back here to hunt. They looked at each other and left. Had they NOT come in the same way I did, and ended up somewhere in the vicinity and I called a bird in or they did OR worse a bird just came through that could have been a bad situation in that I would have had no idea they were there and vice versa.
