I hunt public land and have several stands in which to hunt depending on the wind, i alos have a Summit climber as well, The deer are changeing almost daily, with the food sources being harvested, and the rut apporaching as well. Me i try and not walk around alot because it could ruinin someone else hunt, and i know the guys tat hunt that area, and we have a rule, when you have to leave leave dont scout on your wayout, We scout during the end of the seasons, and pertty much know where we want to hang stands.You must have private land and that is a plus, 10/20 deer in a small woods is a smokin hot woods!
