Good point here but i rarely ever hunt those gated off roads for the simple reason of there is always somebody parked there and unless you know them or have talked to them you have no idea where they are and vice versa. One bad thing about public land is generally you can get to a spot in the woods from multiple ways. Years ago a guy walked in on me, I whistled and waved and he turned around and left. Ran into a guy who turned out to be him at the check station that night and we got to talking. Once he realized i was the one he walked in we sat there for a while trying to figure out how we both ended up in the same spot from 2 different directions. Turned out to be a nice guy and we actually started parking at the same spot. We were hunting different areas but if i saw his truck i would park and go hunt without bothering him and he did the same. I even helped him get a deer out one day. Most guys are reasonable fellows who just want to hunt. Some are asshats. You just have to weed through both.

In your darkest hour when the demons come, call on me brother and we'll fight them together.
