yeah, this is public ground. I don't know if it is fed. or state, though. I don't want to get too specific or you'll have 1000 hunters in your lap opening day, but you should be able to find the area from the directions I posted earlier. I drive through this area quite often and usually see turkeys, but as season gets closer, road hunters will be pushing them back into the woods(shame, huh?). As most road hunters are too lazy walk, you should be in pretty good shape if you get off the road some.
