Room to move around is my number one reason.... Some of the public landI regularly huntis over 2 hours one way.....

Our public land here is pressured relatively hard during bow and slammed during gun.... But we have some decent size chunks with some fairly rugged terrain at some of the places I hunt and even these pressured deer can get a few years on them.

Thereis sort of a fraternity amongst public land hunters as well......[/align][/align]
