BTW, many of those states mentioned as having far higher success rates already have very limited public access. If you want to hunt in the south or the midwest, you better own some land, have family who does, or pay big $$ to belong to a club.
From the George Washington and Jefferson National Forests Website:
""The totals for the combined George Washington and Jefferson National Forests are 1,646,328 acres in Virginia; 123,384 acres in West Virginia; and 961 acres in Kentucky.""
Virginia also has, State Forest lands, Game & Fish Commision Wildfile Management Area lands, and Military Bases where Hunting is also permitted.
