Maybe it's your breath ?
I haven't really tried to seek permission for any properties this year and I already have more offers than time to use them . Granted , I get a lot more opportunities because I live in the country , but if you ask around enough anyone can get access . Is there somthing wrong with the public land in your area ?

Folks around here are so predjudiced toward public land that it hardly gets hunted . I frequently have hundreds of acres all to myself because everyone else thinks that they're too crowded . Gotta love public opinion sometimes .
