RE: public land
Round here people like to get milesaway from the roads in search of deer by using four wheelers. Kinda stinks when I leave my truck walking hours before sun up to get to where I want to hunt only to have my hunt ruined by someone who left their truck 15 minutes ago on a four wheeler. Technicalyit is illeagaluse four wheelers of maintained roads in the national forest, but no one enforces those laws so people arround here do what ever they want.To find the deer around here on public land you have to go where no one would even take a four wheeler. Then you can kill big deer, but good luck getting them out of there. Every year I spend about 4 hours dragging a deer. Last year I did it three times. Glad I had the creeks to cool them off, it was pretty warm out.
