Hunting during deer season

[Foggy1956]

I'm not going to push out a draw a guy mat be camped out in. But if it's a big tract and I've got a good idea where he is and there's grass or cover away from him I can get in I'm not saying I wouldn't. No different than if a guy is parked in a cove fishing, I'm not casting over him but I'm not avoiding the cove all day. Public is public at the end of the day. I wouldn't expect a large public marsh to myself either just because I was there.

Good luck

I tend to stick to areas where deer hunters are less likely to be and places where I can see and be seen. I check with my landowner connections to make sure I don't screw anyone else up on private land that I have permission to hunt. Regular firearms deer hunters only have a couple of weeks and can wait years between buck tags. Youth (going on now) and muzzleloader seasons are a non factor with bird hunting in ND. Pressure really does drop off after the first weekend.

I find it interesting when you read responses and folks have no problem hopping in a piece of ground another guy or group may already be bird hunting but avoid places when a guy wants to sit all day on a place looking for Bambi? I guess I'm the opposite almost, I've never intentionally hunted a piece of ground I knew someone was bird hunting. But I'm sure not skipping a good bird spot because a deer hunter might be around. I wouldn't walk right under them but I'm not avoiding that piece just because of them.

I've run into deer hunters before on public land.
