## Resource

Public land belongs to everyone—but that doesn't mean every decision we make out there is ethical or respectful. In today's episode, Dan dives into one of the most debated topics in hunting: public land etiquette. After stumbling across **double-digit permanent tree stands** tucked deep into remote elk country, he asks a series of questions that every hunter should think through. Is it okay to hunt from someone else's tree stand on public land? Should tree stands be left out year-round? Is it acceptable to hang a trail camera on the same water source another hunter is already monitoring? What about checking a trail camera you find on public land? These aren't black-and-white issues, and opinions vary widely across the hunting community. Dan shares his perspective on respecting fellow hunters, avoiding unnecessary conflict, and preserving the public land hunting experience we all value. Whether you're chasing whitetails in the Midwest or bugling bulls in the West, this conversation is about more than tree stands and cameras—it's about treating others the way you'd want to be treated in the mountains. Join the discussion and let us know where you stand on these controversial questions. How do we all play a little nicer in the public land sandbox? 💢 Discount Codes 💢 INITIAL ASCENT - 5% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE PODIUMARCHER.COM 10% OFF CODE: ELKSHAPE https://www.podiumarcher.com/collections/all-products-1 BORN PRIMITIVE OUTDOOR - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://glnk.io/p9vpq/21r PEAX EQUIP - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://www.peaxequipment.com/ CANVAS CUTTER - 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://canvascutter.com/ WILDERNESS ATHLETE | 20% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://wildernessathlete.com/ SHEEPFEET | 10% Off Code: ELKSHAPE - https://bit.ly/SheepFeet onXhunt ELITE Membership | 20…
