Do you guys find it harder to hunt public land then private land.
Last year i was on private land i saw lots of deer had a doe and two buck in range i missed the bucks the doe busted me. I saw as many as 30 deer in a day and 20 at once. i saw deer every hunt but one.

This year i have saw deer 8 times two time when hunting the other times when walking out or driving to or from my spots.
Both times i saw deer i saw one deer only. Now this land is the best in the area not heavily bow hunted. Lots of food water and deep rough areas for them to hide.

Is private land just better or what.

Seems everyone in my area is seeing less deer this year but seems to be a big differnts to me.
