Personally, I think it does a little bit. If you can find a monster buck like some people have on their 1000 acre farms than that's when I think it changes. The public land has more people hunting it, which means more pressure and more killing per year. On a farm somebody could let a buck go knowing that heck...I'll give him another year to grow. On public land that buck could be shot the next day, or simply pushed to another part of the woods you'll never search. That's just my personal opinion though.
