I carry my bow in firearms season here in SW PA. I can say with 1,000,000 licensed hunters after the first day you are hard pressed to see a deer moving naturally. I find it much more productive to walk, especially if we have a good tracking snow. I also hunt the late season, it comes in right after christmas and I often use the same techniques but will stand for the first and last hours. But if I posted all day I doubt I would see a deer after the orange army gets through.
