Default RE: You're not first - what next?

About 4 years ago, I was hunting a spot on public ground. I hunted it all day Saturday and Sunday. Packed up camp on Sunday night and went home. I decided to call in Monday and take a day of vacation. I drove back to "MY" spot early that morning. I just knew I would see a deer due to all the deer sign. I rounded the corner and my heart just sank. There was a truck in my parking spot. I lost all hopes of killing a deer. Drove another 1/2 mile down the road and just pulled over and walked in the woods with a flash light. Walked out about 100 yards and climbed a tree..30 minutes later shot a small spike. I may be wrong and Im sure you guys will let me know..But my experience in hunting public lands is scouting doesnt all ways pay off. My way of thinking is the hunting pressure causes the deer to abondon normal trails, and the more hunters the more likely deer will be jumped and forced into moving around. How do you feel about this..Wrong or agree.
