When you walk a public property for the first time, go directly to the hardest to access bedding/transition terrain you have identified on your maps. If you encounter human sign there you may as well save yourself alot of time and move on to the next property on your list. One exeption would be spots that tend to be overlooked by hunters, you should still check for those. IMO
