Sometimes I hunt behind my house(part public, part private). Sometimes I hunt a parcel of private land where I have permission. More often than not, I hunt in a nearby national forest. I like to walk around, and there's not as much room to do that on private land. I saw more deer on private land this year, but that was due to an unusually long dog season here. I only saw one deer on public land after dog season started, and after about two weeks of it, I stopped seeing deer on public and private land. I did kill an unusual number of coyotes this year.
