Ok here i go, Comming from Muncie Get over to State Rd 28 west head to Alex, There you will come to interscetion 28 and 9, turn right on to State Rd 9, heading towards Marion this will take you all the way through Marion past Wal-mart, Lowes keep go you will go through a section with alot of bussiness,Your looking for State Rd 15, You should see a Walgreens on the coner,turn left on to 15 take it several miles till you come to a small town there will be a gas station on your left (not sure the name of it), go to the flashing yellow light there will be a cementary as you turn left. take that road all the way past a stone quarry on your right.. It will be kinda hard to see at dark but you will see a gate start looking for a sign in station on your left (orange box), you must sign in), Just passed that on the right there is a pull off where you can park, get out there and get readywalk down till the field has been turned over and right too the left is a wood line take that back till you can see a big bottom hunt somewhere on that ridge, you will want to walk back close to a half mile there is a trail so the walking should be easy as your walking back the big bottom will be on your left watch that area they run it hard and bed in there also.....Good luck and if you need more info let me know....

Dave22, Is there usually alot of people that hunt there? Do you see alot of deer or any bucks there?

RE: public land in muncie IN??
 

Thanks alot dave...i will def. try it out

Yes It does get alittle bit orange but what public land does'nt during opening day of gun season. You just have too wait them out because alot of the hunters will walk around and you have to be in the right place at the right time. Plus lets face it not all of us have private land to hunt on, and we have to make the best of what we got...

RE: public land in muncie IN??
 

oh ya about forgot there you can only shoot bucks and yes there are alot of deer moving ariund????

I'm lucky enough to have family land to hunt...plus we lease land in LaGrange Co for the weekends.

The public land is good in this part of the state. Try Huntington too if you need a place right up I69. Unit #9 (IIRC)is just west of the US-224/I69 overpass. It's not hunted heavily...but boarders private woods where deer travel between. It also has an old rail-road bed and creek going through it.
