If your gonna hunt public, you might wanna take a 10 or 15min. walk past the open road. You'll be amazed how many animals you see. I hunt a public area, where a road goes around 3/4 of it. Many road hunters just drive on the road thinking they'll see somthing. But most of them scare the deer and elk deeper into my area. Hence I reap all the rewards and they go home empty handed.
