ThegroundIhunt mostlyis state land.Any time there is another hunter,hiker or horseback rideraround, which is fairly often, I would say there's pressure. As far as actual hunter pressure goes, I'd say it's pretty light throughout the season. Most of this "pressure" occursduring the early season. When it gets "cold" I usually have the place pretty muchto myself.
These deer on this land do know the difference between the various types of intrusion, there's NO doubt in my mind about this. Hikers and horseback riders just keep moving at a steady rate, and don't send them into the next county. But let one of them catch you sneaking around, or spot you in a tree ( they do look up!), game over!!
