My area isn't pressured much at all during the early season being I don't do any hunting at all in the big part of my woods close to the bedding areas. If I have a doe tag available where I hunt I'll do some early hunting on the field edges and hopefully arrow myself a doe there. Other then that I won't be putting hardly any hunting pressure into the main part of the woods until about the 2nd week of October when I go tramping around looking for some rut activity and placing some stands for the upcoming rut. When the rut does heat up I'll only sit in a particular stand maybe 4 sits in a row if i feel real confident otherwise I'll leave the stand alone and head to another spot and let the other cool down some. During the gun season the whole section i hunt in gets pounded very hard by the gun hunters. The pressure around my woods is enormous!!
