I do most of my hunting on private ground that I know pretty well. I know where the deer will be in the morning and I know where they be traveling through in the afternoons, but I still need to switch trees just to keep them guessing. Sometimes it works out and other times it doesnt.I also do some hunting on public ground, and Ive had pretty good luck just walking into an area that Ive never scouted before and climb a tree with a climber in an area that looks good and see lots of deer and adjust my stand location accordingly, but I have to admit I saw lots more mature bucks when I hung stands in my earlier years than I do now.
