I’ve always hunted public land – but out West there is a ton of it, so no reason to go private land unless you want and know a willing rancher (not an easy find!) The BLM and the US Forest Service have done a great job of managing a lot of public land out here that provides access for all types of hunters. There is land that is easy to access with good animal populations, and there is difficult land to access with good animal populations and much less hunting pressure. Not sure how it works in the rest of the country, but I’d hate to think of the day where public land no longer exists.

We hunt public land quite a bit up here too. I have killed a lot of deer on public land, but haven’t had the kind of luck you have with the big bucks. One reason may be that most folks here have to hunt public land, and we have a very short season (compared to most southern states), which means that there are often hunters behind every tree. Once the first shot is fired, all the scouting in the world is just about worthless…
