parking behind someone at a gate

[quavers59]

    The only good thing about Declining Turkey Populations  is with less Birds and less Gobbling- the also rans might not even bother to get up at 3am.
    So less and less people  parking behind me at a Gate.

I would rather have lots of gobblers and just burn a truck or two...occasionally

Never understood it. Why I'm the world would someone knowingly want to go hunt next to someone. Even if it's a 2k acre block, the birds will be very concentrated to small areas mostly. They aren't deer

I just move on to another area if someone is already there. If you hunt public ground its bound to happen that someone comes in from a different direction. Best thing to do is be curious! I enjoy my private land spots the most but on occasion have had to run trespassers off. If I didn't have private land to hunt in some states I wouldn't hunt there especially if out of state because of the bs I see with some of the new hunters and how they act. Good hunters know how to secure private spots and stay in contact with the land owners to keep those spots. 5 of the states I go to every year I never have to worry about someone at a gate unless its a trespasser.

Only public place I've ever hunted that I could pass parking spots is Black Hills, SD.

In PA or FL chances are you are going to have multiple cars at a gate. Where I hunt there just isn't  enough access to limit parking to one vehicle.

I am usually first one at trail head. I know there will be cars at the trail head when I exit. I hike in minimum of 2 miles so most places I can avoid people. But other places I know I'll cross paths with hunters. Public land in south Florida is tight.

The guy regulated to weekends only on public land is truly screwed in most places now.  I have no real solutions only sympathy.  I spent years hunting mid season week days on public land and usually did ok with minimal interference.  Hunting non gobbling once pressured birds was always preferable for me than joining a race at the gate.  Different times - different game.

I used to love running and gunning on public land mid week mid season but now it's crowded even then, and plus there just aren't as many birds and the ones that are around get really tight lipped after that first weekend.

I figure this will all resolve it's self in time.....we'll all die and won't have to worry about it. Some of us sooner than others. So enjoy whatever life  you have in whatever circumstance. No amount of debate here will change anything in this matter. The butt holes aren't here to read your rants, but I understand it feels good to bitch
