Indiana was terrible this weekend. I got a spot on public land off a lake I've hunted for 5 years and have never seen anyone. Wednesday ran into my first guy. It was a good experience, ended up being a good guy. Saturday morning was ridiculous. Owl hooters everywhere. I had 3 guys walk through my setup. 2 guys walked past me and onto private and I told them hey buddy that's private right there as I know they landowners too and they won't even let me hunt it or even walk through it. Both those guys said so.... just shook my head. I sat on a ridge top had a guy yelping next ridge over and a guy crow calling down in the river bottom. I said something to my buddy about it and he invited me to come hunt his private land with him. I tagged out later that afternoon and felt a lot safer lol. I hope next spring isn't so bad. But I'm headed to Ohio to meet up with my brother to hunt public land in a couple weeks. He said pressure has been heavier there as well. He lives near Columbus. Luckily I had bought my tag before they stopped selling NR
