The biggest mistake most folks make is not giving the deer on their property places where they can be away from human contact, and IMO the key to holding mature bucks is isolation from disturbances.

I agree, but many hunters are not able to control where other hunters hunt on the property they hunt along with those other hunters.

In that vein of thought, I do most of my deer hunting in the places that have been least disturbed by other hunters. Yes, I have some sanctuary areas I will not hunt anything but the edge, but one of my hunting strategies is to simply hunt the areas other hunters seem to be avoiding (regardless of reasons avoided). This is my #1 hunting strategy on both hunting club and public land hunting.

One of the main reasons hunters often don't "hunt" a particular area is due to a lack of deer sign. Most hunters "scout", find the areas with the most deer sign, then that's where they hunt most. Thing is, when the hunters move in, the deer move out (at least during daylight hours). The deer usually just "move over" a few hundred yards into an area that hunters seem to be NOT hunting.

Deer will quickly gravitate to the least disturbed areas of their range, particularly older deer, and particularly regarding daytime usage. Few things alter the normal deer patterns more and faster than a lot of hunters "scouting" and hanging stands the day before a quota deer hunt on public land.

Of course, if I had several thousand acres that no one but myself was hunting, then my usual #1 strategy would be a moot point, as I would simply hunt the best sign and frequently rotate the areas I hunted.
