RE: Why do you hunt public land?
When you put it tha way.....I am mistaken. I know the deer I hunt travel close to a mile in one direction.....to eat, during the early fall (to soy bean fields). Yeah.....that isn't that much land.
Seems they have every reason to leave the area I can hunt them in......but not many reasons for others to come into it.
I do have does, though.....so I guess it could be worse.
Flabbergasted? Nope. Just plain mistaken.
