i have really good luck on public land and there are some really nice deer. you just need to scout a little harder and think a little more.
DITTO!!!!!
I NEVER park at the "hunter parking" spots, I ask permission from farmer's who own land that a joins public land....MILES from "hunter parking" and access it through there, that way I am almost assured to be alone, I don't think many hunters will walk 3-4 miles to there stand.
