[QUOTE="Buzzgun, post: 1925462, member: 4715"] Not to be a smart ass, but I'd look where the deer are!! It is rare to find the "perfect spot" like everyone talks about on all the hunting shows and, if you find one of those perfect spots, odds are, someone, or many someones already know about it and is planning to hunt it!! Another issue, the deer sign you found last week or last month, while scouting, may not be where the deer are now. This is especially true when deer are focused on acorns. While archery season isn't quite as bad, unless you are hunting on a very large public area, the deer will likely be pushed to adjoining private land by all the other folks out there looking for that perfect spot. I know a guy that has been extremely successful hunting public land in easter OK (large tracts), he goes into the thickest, nastiest cover he can find, sits down and waits. VERY few people are willing to go where he hunts and, consequently, that's where the deer are. If I was forced to hunt public land in OK, I'd pick an area along a river in the western part of the state and I'd hunt it during bow season. I would not expect to kill a decent buck until I had hunted it a few years and learned the place well. [/QUOTE]
