RE: Public Land Hunters - Did you start scouting new stand sites yet?
My favorite public land hunting areas are gone.They were leased off this spring.Over 12,000 acres that was open to the public is gone.One outfitter leased off 10,000 acres of B&N coal.The rest went to smaller private leases.So if you hunted B&N coal property in SE Ohio you had better check with the home office,being only a few areas were left unleased due to an aggrement with the state.They will be leased off next year.
