4- Do you hunt public or private land mostly?
#1 I used to. The chukar hunting has gotten poor over the last few years and I don't pound it like I used to.
#2 yes, and I take at least a week for fishing.
#3- it depends. If I have a super good tag I scout every weekend before the hunt for about a month.
#4- public land only.
I have friends that own land and Idaho has plenty of Access yes land but I don't hunt private. I used to ask but every time I did I got the same thing. I used to let hunters on but they shot my cows or my irrigation lines, or what ever. Then I had to sit through a two hour lecture on how hunters are the worst SOB' in the world. Or I ran into the land owners that think I should pay 100 dollars to hunt the barren plowed field. I am sic of land owners and I won't hunt their land if they ask me to. I lump them in the same heap that they lump me into. I haven't hunted private land for at least 10 years and I don't want to. Not even for the biggest buck or bull in the world. Ron
