Well I am in Texas and there is a lot of public land where I hunt and I only hunt public land.
For me most of the fun is in the scouting working out where to put the stand learning the lay of the land where the deer bed and feed working out the trails.
99% of my hunting is done before the season starts the actual hunting is as I concider it only 1% of what I do.
To go on a guided hunt would be nice but not to do any of the foot work is just not for me
sorta takes all the fun out of it for someone to say go in that stand and at 7:45am a monster will come out over there and walk right past the stand.
