I've been kicking around the idea of hunting public land, but have absolutely no clue how to go about it. I live close to Angelina and Sabine national forests. I know you need a public hunting permit, but past that....what's the procedure....show up, walk in the woods looking for trails and food source, then find a tree? How do you deal with knowing where other hunters are or will be hunting? Sorry for the newb question...just have never had any experience with it.

In just National Forest, you don't even need the public hunting permit, for WMA's yes.
Other hunters are something you just have to put up with and learn how to work around.
Really, I haven't found it too bad, if you just get of the beaten path. Even if they are around you, the chances are still there. Look up "Pressured deer are easy" in Around the Campfire.
