I hunt public land and have had alot of sucess, Although i use people to my advantage.I get to the woods earlier then they do, and get back in and settled in, I always stay in my stand on weekends, but on week days i hunt till about 12:00. It seem that you always have people on weekends that get up and move around 9 and then most leave around the woods around 11 or 12, give it a little time and the deer will move right to ya. You just have to be willing to stay put. Plus on weekends you always have more people in the woods as well moving, as thus so do the deer. Take your lunch and wait them out......Good Luck
