RE: Itasca State Park in Minnesota
The park gets quite a bit of pressure, but my experience is that most hunters stay close to the roads or trails. I hunted there a couple of years ago and didn't see another hunter more than a half mile or so from a trail. For the most part the park is thick woods, and stalking is very difficult. If you have a portable stand that would be the way to go. There are some big bucks in there, but since the pressure is high near the trails, you need to head back farther into the brush to find them.
