How much space do we need?

  I might arrive at after 9am if beat/tired. By then there will be vehicles  belonging to Hikers,Bikers,Dog Walkers.
  I park and walk on in.

If someone's there before me I just always keep moving there's always more spots. No point in racing people for birds. I'm young enough and smart enough to know there's more birds to be killed.

This is an issue that is increasing from what I have seen, as well. Other recreational users of our public lands tend to make the decision to hunt somewhere a bit more complicated than it once was when there were significantly fewer of them about during turkey season. I am always evaluating whether I can hunt gobblers that might be close to folks that are camping...or hiking, or antler gathering, or whatever it may be.

In our hunting group, we are always debating whether or not the camp or vehicle we encounter in an area is likely just somebody doing their own thing rather than turkey hunting. Most of the time, that debate is settled by the presence of camouflage and guns...or the lack thereof.
