IMO, scouting becomes more important in areas with a lot of hunters, but, maybe a little different, too. Scout the hunters as well as the game.
Finding out where people put stands is one thing. Even if the stand isn't there, climbers leave marks on trees. Cleared branches is another clue.
A big help is to find out if there's a place where all the hunters come into the area you're hunting- like where a road nears the land, or a gate, etc. When the hunters come in, they'll move game, just like a drive does. Place yourself where you'll be the beneficiary of the hunters moving the game.

I have hunted hi pressure areas and found hunting week days and mornings help reduce problims.
Try to hunt days that are not as poppuler opening day here is real beasy for the woods.
I hunt farm land now and can say i have had more problims now then when i hunted state land becouse every one that hunts state land is in the same boat and have to share the woods.
