PA is the worst state wether it's turkeys, deer or trout season.

Ga turkey hunter

I don't hunt public land very often due to having access to private land, but even on private land there are plenty of idiots. My hunting buddy and I are supposed to be the only two people hunting a certain tract, but apparently the landowners son gave some googans permission to hunt the night before opening day, but my hunting partner and I did not receive this information. So at about 8 in the morning after not hearing and gobbling I'm sitting in a pine slick making some calls and all of a sudden not 30 yards from me come 3 guys. All of them wearing camo jeans and a t shirt. One with a gun, one with a box call, and one with nothing in his hands. I asked them what they were doing coming to my call and they replied "looking for that turkey" I was pretty upset, but just glad that I wasn't working a bird. I had to try so hard not to laugh at they walked away with no camo and probably no experience at all between them. They probably thought I was crazy wearing head to toe camo! This was in a Georgia, but I have friends that hunt public land with some crazy/scary stories. Duck hunting here on public land is one of the biggest pains ever.

It's also amazing to me how I can park along a desolate stretch of dirt road an hour before sunrise and, if I come back out at 8am, invariably, at least one other vehicle has been parked right next to my truck.  I mean, really(?), why wouldn't the guys at least drive down the road an eighth of a mile or so to park and enter the woods? 

Really!, and the sad thing is, it's that idiot that will come in on you working a bird. Have had that happen too in the past, where you would think your vehicle and a gobbling bird would be a tip off? But sadly I've come to the conclusion, not all, but most hunters here just do not care, and want to call the birdy too.
