Thread: Help What is the correct etiquette for stands

Ballots been and gone. There are stands not balloted (empty) at a lake just down the road and I have the chance of borrowing a gun for a 1 off shoot or probably more like quacking my head off while I freeze my tits off . Reading all the gamebird info It seams that I can claim a stand if no one is there. Is this correct as dont want to piss anyone off.
Haven't looked into this so I just will ask here. Can you get a day shooting license from fish and game.
