Default RE: This stinks!

Do what I did when the spots I used to hunt got "crowded" ,
seek permission elsewhere and reconsider public properties . It doesn't have to be 10,000 acres to hold deer , one of the publics I hunt is only about 40-50 acres and nobody but me hunts it because nobody else knows that it's there . I found it using a topo map , all state owned properties are listed on them regardless of size . My favorite holds deer , turkeys , and squirrels and covers 400 wooded acres . I've only seen another hunter there once .

Public properties get a bad reputation for being crowded that they may not even deserve , try looking on topo maps/sites until you find some of the smaller ones , then do some spare time scouting . You may be surprised by what others are turning their noses up at . These days there's really no such thing as "having it all to yourself" even when you own the land , but small publics come close .
