Hunting public ground
tetaxidermy:
Great advice, went and scouted there is a lot of land there, found some real good spots natural funnels dry creek beds and lots of deer traffic, just a ways to walk but I don't mind. Season opens here Saturday, going to be a long week waiting.
Kpete:
I have hunted both private and public land for 37 years. I never shy away from public land. It is especially good when other hunters are moving game, or mid day.
Bird season openers can be very good. I have seen deer evade other hunters and resume normal activity very quickly. If the game is there, find a way to set up on them.

Like Kpete, I started staying in the woods at lunch time. With everybody heading to camp to eat there is a lot of deer on the move. I just started packing food with me and staying put till after lunch and it calms back down. Then I string a pocket hammock in the shade and take a nap till it's time to get back up in the stand when everybody stirs things back up again.
tetaxidermy:
I just checked the stats on the state ground I will be hunting, 1650 acres of huntable land, 37 deer taken by archery last year. I work second shift so I will be hunting mornings during the week, should up my odds a little since most people work days. The weekends I am planning on sitting all day on the weekends that I dont have my kids, the wife also works those weekends. The nap idea is great! Good hunting guys.
Justin Snyder:
They joys of being self employed. I take my days off midweek and work the weekends when deer season comes around. That way I see way fewer people, in the woods and at work. ;)
