[QUOTE="Dbllunger, post: 5471184, member: 2494"] Hunting where others aren't is excellent advice on any property but especially public. Just remember that hunting where others aren't doesn't mean go deep on a property. It may but then again it may not. For a lot of people the mentality is that to find new and unhunted I have to go deep. Sometimes this is true but often the spots really close to the parking areas are the best because they never get hunted. Do not overlook these areas. I have been on a lease the last 13-14 years now and when it first started there were 12 members. I let everyone explore the property and take what they wanted. Then I looked at was left over and scouted. Most of the places I found were near the front. In the "scrub" land no one wanted. They all set up in the big hardwoods. Beautiful views. I set up on the edges of blackberry thickets, thin (30 yards) strips of timber that connected places. Low spots in fields where deer cross. Mostly ugly places. I have stands barely 100 yards from I-40. The deer could not care less about the traffic noise. It's all theyve ever known. One day I set up in a barn with a view of where I and one other parked one day on our lease. Our cars were 10 feet apart and I watched deer walk directly in between those vehicles that day. Deer are where you find them. Usually the thick, nasty, hairy stuff or the stuff no one ever hunts. [/QUOTE]
