Depends on where you hunt... Not all land is the same... Some private land gets more pressure per squar mile than public... To me i would not consiter this private land... Some public land has great bucks on it and not a lot of pressure...
I hunt public land in the north east... It just so happens to fall in a tri state area were two other states are within 15 minute ride... So the hunting pressure is pretty much un real... You take a 20 inch wide 8pt off this place you done something!!! I've been hunting it for 30 something years and only shot one buck of this caliber... You take some nuckle head that just bought his first bow and put him on a nice private farm in Iowa, Kansas, Texas, Indiana, Missouri you get the picture... And he kills a P&Y buck and all of a sudden you got a deer hunting legend lol
Just turn on the outdoor channel sometime and watch the wild outdoors with jay gregory... His wife and his 10 year old boy are stackin P&Y bucks up like cord wood...
Big bucks dont impress me off of prime private land
