get as far back as you can
I found this not always the case when hunting public land! I'll scout/hunt over looked patches of woods that most will walk right past because its not "deep enough" or "far away" from the truck! The deer will go were in there is the least amount of pressure, if nobody goes in these patches of woods the deer will! I have killed plenty of deer with my truck within sight! The #2 Wisconsin state record bowkill was killed a few yards off a dirt road and the Hunter was less than 10 feet off the ground! Why, because thats where the deer crossed the road everyday! I always check out the most overlooked spot, the most obvious, but not obvious to all!
I Agree BHF! Some of the best spots people pass up everyday. I killed one of my biggest Bucks about 35 yards off the hard road with only 10 acres of woods.

People passed that spot everyday heading to the Hot Spots!

Make for an easy drag out as well aye Meanv!


Also make sure you have a lot of back up spots! I am always looking for different spots for every wind possible! You never know who is going to be in your first or best spots, then the next spot can also have someone there! So I always have a A,B,C and D plan for each wind, after that I PANIC!
