I am getting pretty old now, but when I was younger there was land open to hunt everywhere and people had a different attitude. As things changed a lot of us hunters thought about buying camps or starting clubs. I decided to just start hunting and learning the public land I could reach for a day or weekend hunt. I don't regret making that decision and I still run into guys that complain about losing their hunting spot to housing projects or are about to.
People like me have good years and bad years hunting on public land, but the good years outweigh the bad ones. The thing I noticed about private land hunters is that when their hot spots dry up or get sold they just give up and quit hunting. It is up to you what you want to do, but as the others mentioned, a club or lease usually ends up going bad.
