Default When the deer aren't moving

Well it's thursday and up here in Warren County Pennsylvania the campers are gone and most people are working so there aren't going to be very many hunters in the woods moving the deer around which could prove to be a loooooong day for any hunter that tries to bag a prize today. If I get to go (have to call into work at 7:30 to see if they need me) I will be heading to the woods that I've been hunting forever. The problem is that the owner of the property has been logging it for two years now and there is a very large amount of the land covered with downed trees which means when there's nobody in the woods helping to move them, I'll need to hunt the buggers like you do rabbits (but without the dogs of course). When this needs done, I usually use the "walk and sit" method. Sometimes I only move about 20 yards at a time and sit down for ten minutes or so and repeat. It can go either way................ I could kick them out and have them run like a bat out of h double hockey sticks or they might run and stop and try to circle, it's all a roll of the dice. But I'll be honost, I'm not a sit around all day in a tree stand kind of guy just to look at woodpeckers all day. Plus, I've had most of my success with this type of hunting. What do you guys/gals do when the deer aren't moving (besides for deer drives)???
