KY.public land peabody!

[Deleted by Admins]

Only on public land all over the USA.

Most of my hunting around here is on private land and it still isn' t that hard to get permission to hunt . There have been a lot of guides or outfitters going around offering to lease land for hunting so that has closed some of it ,but most of it is still open just for asking.

I do all my turkey hunting on Private Property. We own some pretty good turkey hunting territory.

I hunt mostly public land but hunt a little bit on private land that gets hunted by many people.

I hunted public land for the 1st year with no success & last year had the priviledge of hunting private land and harvesting 2 birds...this year I have 2 parcels of private land to hunt & will not hunt public land unless I really have too!!!!! Brampton Mike [8D]

I probably hunt about half and half. I have two private spots to hunt, one is 100+ac. which I' m the only one that has permission to hunt.(of course last year someone shot one I was calling)The first year I had permission, I hunted it exclusively but after 5 or 6 weeks of a greenhorn hammering at them it got pretty tough. I know of 2 places on public land that don' t get a lot of pressure,especilly after the first couple of weeks, so I give the private spots a rest. I also have turkeys on my land but I can' t get over 100yds from my neighbors feeder.

I hunt on public land. The only problem I' ve had is with not always knowing where the other (if any) hunters are. Sometimes I feel relatively sure I' m alone, but I' ve had my share of bumps with other hunters.

What amazes me most are mushroom hunters in the later season who have absolutely NO clue that there may be turkey hunters in the area or have No clue that a turkey season even exists. I' ve run into folks who look at me like I' m some sort of terrorist running around in full camo and a gun in the middle of spring. LOL. I' ve also run into one who KNEW where I would be and STILL walked through the area. Also had the biggest tom I' ve ever seen spooked by shroom hunters while I was working him.

But I know where the birds roost, I know where they strut, and I always enjoy myself whether or not I' m getting whipped by the birds or people.

Hunted public and private land (mostly public) in Wisconsin and public in Nebraska.
