New to hunting public land, have always been on a lease in the past. So, when is the best time to scout public land? I do not want to show up and ruin someones hunt, but i also don't want to show up blind. Also, what are the general guidelines for how far to move away from others (i will be bow hunting)? I want to make sure i follow proper etiquette and don't ruin anyone's hunt. Thanks

Just use your common sense if you go scout and there seems to be some folks in the area you want to scout move to the backup spot. Midday lots of people go for food this gives plenty of time to cover some ground, bait or whatever.
Don't worry about making anyone mad just be courteous and move on if you bump their spot and hopefully folks will do the same for you once you find a place to set. Good luck.
