[QUOTE="fishboy1, post: 4266487, member: 1827"] Chetham is a hard hunt. Not because of pressure or lack of deer but because of terrain and the road closures. You can have success but you have to work for it. Once you get it "figured out" your sightings will go way up. Going deep is one option. Hunting the pressure is another. Find the dumbest spot in the world close to the roads and hunt it on the weekend when there is pressure. All the hardcores going deep will pressure deer off their normal patterns and push them into "stupid spots". Last time I hunted there I went deep. Hiked a couple ridges to hunt near an old grown up clear cut with great sign. Didn't see squat. My buddy who was hunting literally 40 yards from the truck shot a deer at 7am that was sneaking along the down hill side of the ridge the road was on. There was no sign where he was hunting, and the deer came from where I was. My suspicion is that the deer knew that hunters liked to hunt the end of that ridge, smelled me, and was sneaking off when my buddy killed it. [/QUOTE]
