I hunt in 5 different counties, a mix of public and private.

I hunt about 15,000 acres of public land. Early November, during the week it is rare to see anyone else deer hunting. I hunt with a summit viper stand which goes in and out with me. I don't mark trails or advertise my spots.

I most often drive a yuppy rig so I look like a nature walker or hiker not a hunter. I also don't have the back window plastered with hunting stickers either. =)

If you are willing to put in the work there are good deer on public ground. My biggest to date came of a hard hunted public spot.

I hunt the state park reductions also, although they have not been great the past few years.
