im begining to think that with everybody saying the place to hunt public is far back in the woods where nobody goes...that the best place now is nearest the road. 'cause everyone thinks no ones gunna be back in the woods so now thats where everyone goes, so now nearest the road there is nobody. im not sure though, just a thought.

be safe, public land can be rather productive if hunted properly. my friend shot an 8 point on public land last year and this year a couple does.
