You can use that as your excuse, or as your motivation.
Rack......I am not debating that you have to work harder to be successful on state land. In fact that is my point.
If you have to work 2-3 times as hard to have success on state land vs private then the land is the more important factor.
If the same hunter was to put in the same time and effort I believe he would have more success on a private plot with many unpressured deer.
