[QUOTE="dsa5455, post: 5788635, member: 8606"] My public land hunting advice. 1) Try to find at least some private hunting land if possible even small parcels. Reason: Less hunter interaction. 2) Hunting pressure is fierce in the early part of each segment on public land (bow, ml, gun) but once deer sightings go down so does hunter interest until the next segment. Reason: We hunters get discouraged easily. Stay in the woods the deer will eventually relax once pressure dies down. 3) Starting off I would hunt from elevated positions. Reason: Easier to see deer from a distance and prepare for the shot.. May help with scent especially in that small window with thermals. You may get away with a little bit more movement. You may be able to see slight pattern changes and make your adjustments. 4) Don't get caught up in all the new gadget hype: Reason: Most will not make you a better hunter. I am living proof and I have owned most of it. 5) Don't let pressure be put on yourself from within or from without to succeed. Reason: It is a sport that can take over every moment of your life like any other sport if you let it. Most seasoned hunters will tell you they fell into this trap at some point and became miserable. Just ask their wives who had to listen. 6) On pubic land I would stay in the stand longer than others. Reason: Most hunters come out around 9 am. We always stayed till 11 am. and would often have opportunities from deer getting bumped. Welcome to the hunting site by the way [/QUOTE]
