While it is correct that large amounts of BLM land are locked up by private land, there is still good public land that is accessible. The walk-in areas are OK also, but not ideal for everyone.
On most BLM land with good public access you will not be alone unless you have drawn a tag in one of the better units. It is a big pain to stalk a herd and have the hunt ruined by some yahoo with a truck or ATV, or by some "sniper" trying to get lucky at 800 yards in a strong wind. Some of the better units (Red Desert, etc.) take a bunch of points to draw. With one point you can probably get a unit 26 or similar tag.
Don't get discouraged by the access issues or other hunters. There is still plenty of land and enough antelope. I have had public land hunts that were a really great experience, and shot some pretty good public land antelope.
