Can anyone give me some pointers on using public hunting ground? Are there some unwritten rules that I should know before I go wondering through the woods? I don't plan on using the land in november since the start of deer season will draw a lot of hunters on the weekends. I plan to wear my blaze orange while I am out, just don't want to offend anyone if I can avoid it.

I don’t know were you are from, but I would contact the local Game Wardens in the area. They can not only give you advice on were to hunt, but they can tell you the rules, especially cents they are the ones that are going to be enforcing them. There is also usually some sort of biologist/science expert in charge of the land. When I found that that person was very helpful, especially when I told them what I saw when and were.

If hunters in your area are like what we have out here, especially during elk season, then all I can say is learn how to duck. I have actually gotten away from blaze orange which I know is controversial but in oregon it is not required and I found when I was wearing orange I had alot of idiots watching me through there rifle scopes. I know of a couple of state police officers here that have the same opinion and they are game officers.
