Oh, and let's not forget. There are LOTS of "outfitters" who've leased up the hunting rights on private ranches, one - to corner the hunting on that property, and two - to shut out people who'd pay a trespass fee to get to the public land on the other side, thus nearly ensuring them access to public land no one else can get into. Go in the long way from the public side, and you're likely to have an unfriendly encounter with the guys who who may have paid big money to get in from the easy side. Been there.
