Public land etiquette

I have had some issues myself this year with people on my land, long story short- they abused the rules and now the land is closed to everyone.

You got public hunting land shut down?

Nah this year I managed some inherited land and one father/son incident with my neighbor made me regret ever offering up the land. I saw people say stuff about going on private land and not obeying the rules. That happened to me and now me and the other land owners have a private management company renting the land for crazy money. We tried to be good people and offer land for free and it ended up being a shit show so I would tell people in the future, if you get access to private land -- respect the owners and their land.

Funny...my scouting this summer turned up a couple of spots close to private that I'd like to hunt. I thought about asking an etiquette question here and found out I did the same thing last year. I swear, I don't walk property lines.
