Public land is where most of us hunt. Deer will go deeper as stated above so the successfull hunter has to get off the road and walk back futher than most hunters are willing to go. Sure some great deer are harvested right near the road to public land and setting a stand is great for those who cant walk very far for one reason or another. Find an area with water, food sources (soft mass, row crops or pastures) and good cover where the deer can escape to when pressured. look for rubs, scrapes and trails that lead to and from the cover areas to the feeding areas to set a stand. Good luck and get out there and have fun, I'll sure be on public land every chance I get.
