nice to have you here on the forums,

There is nothing wrong with hunting public land, it definately harder than private, but if you do your homework it can be just as productive. I hunt public and private land every year public land deer are way tougher but its a great experience though.Usually on private land when you kill one its not a long drag or you can drive your truck/atv,or boat right up to it and its done and over with quickly.But if you kill one way back on public alnd its an all day process.If you shoot one late in the day it will be midnight before you get it out where i hutn sometimes, but thats the way deer hunting should be...HARD
