Franklin is right next to me, I am hunting in Southhampton County, and I do not know of any public land.

Franklin and Henry counties have Turkeycock Mtn WMA. Over 2000 acres I think.

People like that just take the cake. I own deer tracking dogs and rabbit dogs.
I love to rabbit hunt and with the mixed season it's hard. I usually wait until deer season ends in yadkin, surry, and stokes and rabbit hunt there.
Most places around here deer dogs are illegal, but they still run like crazy.
I usually catch them and take them home and through them in the lot with mine.
Before long someone will come along saying their dog somehow got loose and want it back. I tell them the next time there will be no chance of getting the dog back.

When I track deer with my dogs, they stay ona 20' leash. It's harder but some of these people are so fed up with deer dogs they will shoot them.

Good luck. That is a lot of land not to be able to hunt![]
