Not talking actual location, but rather type of hunting area.

Let's see history tells us in 2004 it was private, I do not know about 2005's only it was Buffalo County Wis, and 2006 was an outfitter.


I am going for the DIYer! Private all the way

I hunt private land that belongs to paper companies, that is opened to the public. So, I call it public land ?, I am not sure how you would call it. Up here the biggest deer will come from these lands.

Darn it! I clicked the wrong selection. I meant to pick private land. Outfitters have some great bucks, but they receive a lot more pressure than private land that may only have a couple of hunters on it.

Private due to the fact that deer management could be followed allowing for mature bucks to grow and be harvested. Chances of a5 1/2 year old bruser to servive is better on private land where access is limited.

IF the outfitter has a LOT of land itll come from him but if he ahs got a small amount then itll be public. When i went to Illinois i hunted three different properties between me and my dad we saw a shooter on each of these properties and the outfitter still had land that a hutner hadnt touched that year
