I have some time off this week and later this month to hunt deer. I'll be on a large chunk of public land in Downeast Maine. It's primarily forest that's been logged and has started to grow back in. The brush is thick and extensive networks of now overgrown logging roads intersect it. I've found some deer sign, but by no means is it a tremendous amount. I've found a few points where deer have been crossing into clear cuts, but I have no idea what time of day they are passing through.
I'm thinking that taking up a stand is a crapshoot with very low odds. Is it worth it to still hunt along the trails in hopes I luck out? I'd like to increase my odds of success from none to some.
Ideas?
