Plenty of deer roam the wilderness, but hunters have to drag game out on foot. Some pull small carts with bicycle wheels to get deer out. A few hunters butcher their kills in the field, wrap the meat in the skin and carry it out indigenous style. Carrying a deer on your shoulders could draw fire from a careless hunter - so don't. National Forest land next to farms offer the best chance.
Deer love to feed in corn and soybean fields.
Many private hunting clubs adjoin the national forest, and members bait with corn and apples. Use a map and compass and be sure of your exact location. Trespassers are not well tolerated. Baiting is not allowed on forest service land. Deer have suitable habitat in the national forest.
