Question Hunting Private or Public?

Hey guys, so I have recently been granted had the permission to hunt on this farmers land, of which it borders public land up here in upstate New York. Both property has lots of sign and I see lots of deer whenever I drive past, as I have not yet hunted at either of the spots yet.

My question is should I hunt on the public land or the private land? The farmers apparently grants permission to whoever asks to hunt on his land because he told me that he gets about 50-60 hunters each year who hunt on his land. I don't know how many people hunt on the public land, but in the specific parcel i want to hunt, I can't imagine it will be close to that number, I am thinking a lot less, like maybe 10. So I don't know what to do. 50-60 hunters seems like a lot for one guys private land, so I'm not sure hunting on his private land will be practically the same as hunting public. Any advice would be helpful, thanks!
