Congrats on the (2) Nice birds.


My family owns 350 acres. The house sits on 120, with the other 230 is split up. I hunt one 40 piece down the road. It is boardered by 2 other farmers, who allow a lot of hunters the opportunity to hunt. Last year i got drawn for the 4th season here in Minnesota. The 1st, 2nd, and 3rd season the birds around my hunting land was very pressured and 3 turkeys were shot by three differant hunters. The birds i hunted were call shy, decoy shy, and very much educated. 40,000 acres of public land? Thats a whole lot of land to be "heavily" hunted. I'm not trying to "shine a light in your eyes", just trying to show you that hunting private land isn't as easy as your making it sound. Have you hunted private land before?
