One area that I hunt is 2.5 million acres. Public of course. You lose most at the first couple of miles. I have exclusive rights with one other guy to several thousand acres. Beer and potatoes goes a long way. He even went the distance to build us a bunk house to sleep in. We were told last year that all people go through us if they want permision to hunt. I have a ranch of about a tousand acres in another area that I hunt, where we get permission by supplying ice cream and tanned beaver hides. I mostly hunt public, and my favorite spot is a block of roadless area that is 10 miles wide by 50 miles long. Other than the two ranches, I hunt all public.
