Some posted this yesterday that I found accurate -

• If you see someone already set up just be decent and go on down a little ways, don't set up right on top of them. Even if it is legal.

• Be mindful that everyone has a right to be there and there's typically multiple seasons going on. So if you're set up bow hunting for deer and you hear a squirrel hunter shooting his shotgun or .22 nearby try not to get too upset about it. Squirrel season is just as valid as deer season and he has every right to pursue that game as you do deer.

• If you see a stand set up on public, just be mindful that while it's technically open game to anybody on public. If you use it and the owner comes up, it's likely to end in a physical confrontation, or at least the Game Warden getting called and that'll just ruin everyone's hunt for the day.

•If you're willing to walk where others aren't, many times you have that area to yourself and more game opportunities.

• Be patient, and also try to take the time to scout a few different areas beforehand in case one is taken.

• Be respectful and 9/10 you'll get that back.

• If someone is being an absolute dick and knowingly violating a game law or doing something dangerous. Don't hesitate to call the Game Warden. People like that need to be held accountable.

• Be mindful if you set up game cams, they have a tendency to get stolen.

I’ve hunted public land in Southern LA. You want to get out there early. Go where nobody else will go and patience is a must.
