RE: Another State Land Post...
I have fairly good luck on state land. However, it's state land I've hunted for a lot of years and have gotten to know what deer will do. Most of my hunting on state land is predicated on what the deer will do to flee from the masses. I find a hideout or travel route into one and park myself for an all day stay. Prime times(other than early AM) are between 10-3 when the masses leave the woods for lunch, get antsy or come back. Excape routes between large blocks of timber are good also.
