Lots of private land. In Alabama I'm in one lease with 4 more, there is about 1,300 acres in it. I own about 100 acres and family has another 120 that myself and grandson are the only ones to hunt and in Florida I have a couple of friends/clients that have about 4,000 acres that only a couple of more people hunt.

I live in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan and hunt there on public land for the bow season and the last few days of rifle season...I usually go below the bridge and hunt the Northern Lower Peninsula (even though the hunting sucks there) the first week of rifle season. I have 20 acres there and my family goes back in that area 100+ years...so I hunt there for sentimental reasons, not because of the the hunting.
In short, it ain't like those TV shows where I hunt. That's for sure. On the other hand, you can't put a price on the family history and the stories...I can also visit a small cemetery near where I hunt and see the graves of nearly 5 generations of my family. It's pretty powerful stuff--getting a deer there is just a bonus.

Mostly hunt on private land, but there is a smaller conservation area close to us that gets little pressure and is better for turkeys than my place. During deer season it's bow & muzzle only, hence the lack of pressure.
