Default How many of you USE your archery land?

I suppose not just archery land, but your hunting land in general. How many of you actually use ythe land where you hunt for other recreational purposes? Are you one to only enter the land to scout, place stands, and hunt, or do you frequent it with walking, biking, atving, etc? I'm curious to see how many of you utilize the "low impact" approach to your land and whether or not you feel this has a direct bearing on deer activity and your success. I, for one, am out walking it almost every weekend when during the school year when I'm teaching, and almost DAILY in the summer. A post I made a while back about my lack of buck sightings this year, Quick made the comment on how he suggested not hunting just one small chunk all season and moving from point to point throughout the area. I respect Quick's opinion and it seems valid, so is that really the case? Should I really not be out walking, riding my fourwheeler (I do stay to the main road and I'm not ripping through bedding/feeding areas), driving my truck around, etc? For me, I hunt the land I live on and live on the land I hunt, so it's hard for me to just reserve it to "hunting only." However, is this the best approach? Thoughts?
