I agree with "the blur". About 25 years ago I and some buddys lost the last of the private land we were hunting. There was talk of a lease or buying land. I decided to just hunt public land. I had good and bad experiences, but mostly good. In the meantime, most of the guys that went the other way have now quit hunting. You have to have some serious acreage before the hunting around your property will not affect your property. Just like "the blur" said, I have a good time, over half the people I meet I know because they hunt there all the time too.
It might take you a while to find one, but there is a public area that fits what you like if you hunt a couple different ones. It might be a better option to hunt out of state. I hunt West Virgina because that state is more camper friendly than my own state.
