A post on another thread got me thinking about the constant reference by some about the deer hunting on public vs private land. Many here claim that hunting on anything other than posted private land is far less likley to be productive.

even with all the public land we have, it's a miniscule percentage of the acreage in this state. What is far more common is privately owned land that is kept open to the public. I think most reasonable people will agree that private land that has been open to all for hunting can be considered the same as public owned land for the intent of this thread.

Please post your pictures of your bucks taken from "public" or "opento the public ground but private" Lets see just how inferior these public ground deer are.

This one was taken on private ground just a stones throw from public ground. I saw him several times in his three years on this earth and most often it was on the public side of the line.....
