NATO welcome to the world of public land hunting. But all is not lost. You may be lucky like I have been and find a little honey hole. I found such a spot and have harvested a buck every year for the past 5 seasons, 3 of which were the biggest I ever shot.
These spots are where you would least expect them. My spot is a mile long pinch area about 200 yds wide bordered on the north by a fairly wide creek with stone walls (built by the CC boys) and on the south by RR tracks and a highway.
I put a lock on tree stand up within 20 yds of an old trolly bed that runs parallel to the hwy and creek. Wind in the area normally blows northerly and during the rut the bucks run this trolley bed trying to catch scent of an estrus doe. I have named this trolley bed Buck Rt. 1. Last year I watched 7 buck pass me until one of the ones I wanted came by.
BTW, I can see my truck from my stand. Hope you find a similar spot.
