[QUOTE="fishfurlife, post: 1924402, member: 15170"] Each WMA is different and requires different tactics in my mind. I have hunted as far away as I could get from a parking area and have hunted within bow range of a parking area in the early season. Treat hunting public ground just like hunting private. The deer act the same as long as they aren't pestered. Early bow season usually brings little pressure to a majority of the WMA's. Same as late season. The only thing different about public ground is the added element of complete strangers hunting the same ground. Just be ready to be mobile once the deer do get pestered. Follow the deer sign. Don't pound the same spot all season because it is convenient or because you already have a stand there. Pay attention to where others are parking/the direction they are heading in to the woods. Those hidden gems do exist on WMA's. The ones that everyone else seems to look over or walk on by. You will find those places that always seem to hold deer. Those are the places to hold close to you and not be telling every one about. [/QUOTE]
