Buy a mountain bike. I hunt public land on the coast in an area with a whole network of logging roads, but no motorized vehicles are allowed. There are lots of areas like this, and personally, I think there should be a lot more. Right off the bat, this seems to eliminate 95% of hunters and instantly makes for a much higher quality hunt. Get beyond a mile and there's even fewer as this eliminates the walk-ins. Even on the modern opener, I won't see more than a half dozen people throughout the course of the day. Thank god for lazy people!

After I get my deer, I just put the body cavity on the bike seat, rest the head on the handle bars, tie the legs to the spokes, hop on and I'm out of there. Kind of a strange site riding a deer out like that, but my buddy and I have each got our deer the last five years in a row hunting this way and have complete confidence that we will continue to do so.

I also feel like I'm really hunting the entire time versus just driving around in the truck all day hoping a deer runs across the road and complaining about everybody else doing the same. I've done plenty of that in the past with terrible results, but never again. I'll see and hear things that I never would have had there been the constant rumble of cars and four wheelers around. Not to mention, it's great exercise.
