Hey, M1garand 2371, before I got carried away with Search and Siezure laws, I failed to respond to your question regarding a GW walking up to your stand. I can't say that it has never happened although it's highly unlikely that they would walk up to you unless under emergency situation. They will meet up with you at your vehicle, and I know one that would wait for two days if he took a notion to talk to you. If there is bait in the woods, public property, they will know about it and be watching it. You can't worry about GW's walking into your stand site, (they don't want to get shot for one) but part of their job is actually to make you more successful
Call and get to know your local Conservation Officers, hell you might really like them. PS they know good spots to hunt!!!
I can ONLY speak for Missouri Game officers,In fact the best warden Missouri ever had was John Hoskins, and he retired this year as Director of Department of Conservation...Missouri will miss him.
