From what I've been told, it's not too bad if you know where you want to be and have a pretty good idea of how it's layed out. I have to hunt on public land during turkey season so I look for private lands that I can get near exclusive rights to hunt. Crowds can work to your advantage if you know the area and it escape routes well, but mostly, crowds are going to cause more difficulty in getting a mature buck to cruise around in broad daylight.

Today's small bucks are tomorrow's trophies.
