I grew up in Auburn and still live here. Everything that has been said can be the case. I’ve killed deer out there, I’ve had my truck broke into, Ive walked up into someones pot garden out there, and have had several trucks parked at gates, and my buddy had all four tires punctured one time when we went out to bike bartram. So, everything that has been stated can be, and often is, the case. Go during the week and later in the season, and you may not see anyone else. As AU said, you can kill deer. You just have to scout it. It isn’t any worse than any other public area. My biggest complaint was always someone hiking, camping, or doing some other non-hunting activity that would mess me up. It didn’t happen often and they had as much right to be there as me. I learned to stay away from certain areas fairly quickly.

If you do the things you need to do when you need to do them then someday you can do the things you want to do when you want to do them.
