RE: hunting on public land?
I agree, contact the DNR of the state and they can answer all the questions. When I go and hunt on public land, there is only one downfall. If you are hunting on public land it is free game for everyone so you may have someone walk up on you. I know that when I sell a license to an out of state resident it is quite a bit more expensive then a resident tag.
Good Luck and Shoot a Big one
