I walk around if I think the area is pretty much deserted. I usually don't get out until the third or fourth day so the woods is usually empty. I hunt sitting in the early morning, then when the sun comes up and the deer get up I start walking around. It is a lot easier to spot deer if they are moving also. I take a nap 12:00-1:30 and then start moving when the deer start moving again. The times I mentioned are for our rifle season and will be different according to the season you hunt. When the woods thins out with hunters, the deer go back to routine pretty quick. I hunt W.V., PA., and used to hunt in Maryland
and the times that deer get up and move seems about the same in every state. The only exception is I shot or saw a lot of buck up and moving around 11:00 and not doe. If you figure out when the deer get up and move in your area, it makes still hunting easier.
