RE: Hunting Public Land
I would not recommend hunting the same spot day after day. You are leaving scent each time you hunt the area. First off, is there good deer sign in the area? If not, unless you're aware that deer are using the area, I'd find another place to hunt. If there is good sign, only hunt the area if the wind is favorable for you....even then I might hunt the area 2 days in a row but then give it a break for 3 or 4 days. You can never have too many spots to hunt. Also, if there are other hunters hunting the area it should go without saying thatyour chances for success decrease. When hunting public land, I try to go where most other hunters won't. Most times it involves getting deeper into the woods. Many hunters on public and private land do not go any further than 1/4 to 1/2 mile into the woods.
