Thats why I was asking. I have no idea how much, if any, public land is open to hunting in states like Iowa, kansas, illinois, etc. The county I live in has no public land open to hunting whatsoever. The bordering county does but you run the risk of being ventilated come gun season. These are the things I think about when someone mentions DIY hunts.When I do decide to go I obviously have a lot of homework to do. Thanks for the info though.
