I can go about 5 miles until I hit millions of acres open to the public. Some areas get hit hard but for those willing to put in the effort the hunting can be great. We have hauled out 13 elk in the last four years. Countless deer etc.

I also antelope hunt on a private ranch and all it costs us , is several bags of potatoes and onions. Oh yeh, and 1 all night barbeque with the owner. He appreciates the company.

I hunt turkey on public land and do very well. This year for the first time in my life I paid tresspass fees. It was about 200 acres of creek bottom. This went for 35 dollars a day and 50 dollars for opening day.4 of us tagged out in the same day. Our second trip cost us 2 cases of ice cream
cones and 2 beaver hides. All of which we got for free. A trip to help with fencing should lock us in for good with minimal cost.
