I have done diy whitetail hunts in western NY, Maine, NH, MA, Ohio, Illinois, Iowa, and Ontario.

The Illinois hunt we paid a trespassing fee to get on a couple of farms. Iowa I hunted a friends property and Ontario I hunted Crown Land with a friend who has been there before. NY was private property we leased and the rest was public land. Why, because big bucks roam these areas. These were all mostly in November.

We have also have done diy elk and mule deer hunts in Utah and Colorado. Time frame was Sept and Oct.
