NothingThat is?
I've hunted public a lot deer hunting and know it would suck to get up early and do all you have to do only to have a dog come tree 50yds from where you set up, that is a situation I want to avoid but still be to squirrel hunt my dog.My reaction would be "well that stinks but it's not against the rules. Maybe I should start looking for private land to hunt."
Didn't a bow hunter get shot by a squirrel hunter several years ago at Royal Blue?Don't believe I would be sitting in a tree anywhere near anyone squirrel hunting.
The problem is not everyone thinks that way.Everyone has the right to hunt public. You won't have any problems at all. As long as you don't pull up to a spot you know someone is deer hunting. Then unload the dog knowing you're about to mess his morning up. Same would go for the other person. If I pull up and see dog box or just another truck in general I move on to another place. As long as everyone has a mutual respect for one another. Don't see anyway what your asking would be a problem.
We go to Preist, Cedar forest mostly.Where do you plan on hunting? I ask because we hunt public ground with our little cur. We haven't ran into any "problems" as of yet. I had one guy at the boat ramp ask if we were bringing our dog with us? When I explained we were squirrel hunting, he said he hadn't hunted with a dog in years and wished us luck.
