Truth is there are a lot of people doing that now and they all pass by deer to hunt deer. Just gotta scout the woods for what they are and don't think about how far off a road you are. The deer don't use maps so the roads don't bother them. Now I'm not saying just pull up anywhere off the grade and hang a stand but I am saying there are deer and often good bucks that stay in those areas. The trick is using the other hunters to your advantage there.
Yeah I agree to that statement. I was just pointing out that this was exactly what you said. Pulled up and hung a stand right off the road haha. I got one during archery last year about 50 yards off one of the roads so I agree that they are in all places and you have to do your homework.
