So are yall having these experiences while bow hunting? Or is this orange army specific? Being primarily a bow hunter I can't imagine seeing the woods full of people like yall describe, let alone the hunting on top of one another issues.
The biggest problem is, IMO, when someone leaves a stand in the woods on a tree and they refuse to leave when someone else is there before them. Usually, that person didn't know there was a stand placed there by someone else beforehand. The only thing they can think of is that they can't go off and hunt elsewhere without their stand.
You'll see them stop and stand there after you've shined them off, and you can almost see the wheels turning. They don't know what to do without a stand, so they just climb on up.
Had it happen to a bud of mine on a draw muzzleloader hunt last year on a local WMA, and the guy just came on in an hour after daylight and climbed on up, 50 yards from my friend.
Last year on another WMA, a group from Louisiana came in on our hunt and followed us in before daylight, basically surrounding us. Their excuse? " We already hung our stands a couple of days ago!" It was about five of them. They told us that they knew it was bad etiquette to follow us in, but they couldn't hunt without their stands, plus they'd driven from Louisiana.
Who in the heck would've known that they'd done that?
Most serious hunters are gonna do what they can to get well away from other folks in the woods.
Inevitably, the same sign or terrain looks good to others too though.
Just part of it, but you lose valuable hunting time dealing with it.
. The last time I hunted public was bow hunting on the Hiwasee Refuge . We stayed on my friends dad's pontoon boat all night . Got down there the day before the opening and put up our stands. The place I had scouted someone had already had a stand about 100 yards from where I was going to put mine but he wasn't going to effect me none . I knew how the deer moved and he was only get to shoot at deer coming out of the river ☺. Got to our stands about an hour before daybreak . Well about 30 minutes the guy that had setup below me came through hunting his stand . I whisled told him where it was, he thanked went about his business climbed his tree still a good 15 or so minutes before daybreak . A few minutes later here came one down the trail I was watching , I whisled he stopped went back the way they came about 50 yards and climbed a tree 
. I had one more trail that no one had messed up coming from my left the first guy was well below it close to the river so I was alright there. About an hour after daybreak here comes this idiot right towards that trail ! I whisled , I hollered he still climbed a tree right next to that trail totally ignoring me 
We carried two way radioes back then so I clicked to me friend he whispered go-ahead I said I'm completely surrounded by idiots !! The only deer I'll get to shoot at will have already been shot at . We've got a lease in Giles Co and here I am completely surrounded so mark it this is the last time I'm hunting this place , and it was ! Used to be some good bow hunting in there and I've killed three nice bucks from it . Last time I've hunted public matter of a fact .
