I've had the most success by finding scrapes post season on public. You never know which ones will be the hottest next season but at least you'll know where they are at. I'll stick cameras on them right at the start of the next season and then see which ones get hot. Then I'll hunt in those areas. Favorite week to be on public land is the last week of bow season. Still not many folks out and that's when the bucks are really starting to move more.
