RE: public land
Most of the time the deer will move at the oddest times during the day. I have seen deer in the middle of a field feeding because they know that the hunters hunt the field in the morning and get up to go somewhere else mid morning. Deer are smart and even smarter on public land. They will usually let you walk right past them if they are bedded down and not move. My grandfathers friend was walking through a bean field and actually steped on a doe. That right there would scare the crap out of me.

Have you noticed the common post's here? Go deep Go deep Go deep. Everyone say's go deep! Guess what everyone is doing---if you hunt by the dog gone parking area you might just have a nice surprise, I know I did!!

RE: public land
I have hunted nothing but public land my whole life, and i have gotten by biggest bucks within 100 yards from the road, where i hunt the hunting pressure is minimal during bow season. As the season goes on i would say go deeper.Butabove and beyond if you are hunting on public land it is very important to KNOW the woods like the back of your hand, and how the deer move in that area. This takes hours and hours of scouting and hunting. Sorry "Ilovehunting" but i very much disagree with ur post, deer live in the best possible areas for them including things like food sources and cover. those might not be the best spots to hunt if everyone is there but the deer dont totally avoid an area with people in it. I have got many deer on nights where i have seen other hunters. Just my expierences,
