I wish it was just the imports causing problems, but I've had plenty of domestics encroach, chase off game, and generally be disruptive over the past several years - no respect for space or boundaries and often just plain obnoxious. I almost don't even want to hunt public land anymore because someone else almost always fucks it up.
Someone in the comments said the trick is to hike into the woods to get the back country where the game really is. The idiots who will roll up on your spot and scare off all the game are also too lazy to walk for an hour.
When I hunted public land I'd hike about 5 miles from the road. Never had anyone dumb enough to walk that far into my area. You had to drag what you killed out too.
