[QUOTE="Duckslayer100, post: 236645, member: 1485"] I dunno...I'm ok with folks doing what they do on public. My experience on the slice of public heaven I hunt is that nobody hunts like I do. Everyone walks. From noon Friday there were guys walking (during the rut on a cold, winter day when the deer were moving already...makes zero sense, but what do I know). I take advantage of that. Except for a rare few hunters, nobody walks in as far as I do because nobody wants to drag a dear out that same distance. If there aren't any hunters, the deer come by on the ancient trails that have been walked for generations and resemble single-track dirtbike trails more than game trails at this point. Even the scrape locations seldom move far from year to year! Then if hunters are around doing pushes, I still see deer because it's a natural escape corridor and funnel. Either way, it's worked for me for the past 16 years. I've even had hunters come by on the hill right behind me, and 15 minutes later shot a deer skirting the opposite direction through the woods that he likely never even saw. [/QUOTE]
