When i say public land hunting is not very good in Texas, I am speakingcomparitively towhat there is in other states. You got a pretty small chance of shooting agood buck on one of those public land hunts from what i hear. A ranch hand on my lease told me he tried it one time, just to try it and that it wasreally crowded and people were shooting that the first thing that moved. If you want to hunt Texas, id say you pretty much have to hunt private land if your looking for a good buck.
