If I had a 1000acres under my own control there is no doubt I'd have a booner on the wall within 10 years.
Public land...depends...I feel like you can only hunt hard and smart on public land, managing the herd isn't really happening.
to me a public land diy trophy is nothing greater. but public land from state to state varies too, out west tons of guys hunt public land in their home state, east it seems to all be private...
