[QUOTE="Grnwing, post: 5141699, member: 14910"] Interesting report and great information. My observations and experience would certainly go a long with the 2 studies. When hunting public land, I always consider where other hunters will access and what area's they will hunt. On the WMAs I frequently hunt, I have lots of spots that I can go to and base a lot of that on what the recent hunting pressure has been and who seems to be focused on a particular area. If I find a stand or fresh sign of someone else hunting an area, I will move on or adjust my strategy based on how they are hunting an area and what impact their travel route to their stand may have on the deer. Sometime that has me walking a mile + or other times it has me hunting 50 yards from one of the main WMA roads, both have resulted in bucks going on the wall. When it comes to public land hunting the added variable of another hunter has to be considered and taken into account when you want to consistently be successful. When hunting out West or down in the Everglades, simply going further seems to increase my game sightings and ultimately my success; however, in Tennessee and a lot of the smaller WMA's(<5000acres) patterning the other hunters and finding areas they won't go tends to lead to a lot of success.
