DSGB Posted December 9, 2004 Report Share Posted December 9, 2004 Re: Public Hunting Land I mainly hunt private land, but during bow season I hunted a new WMA that's close to home. I hunt the military reservation too, just haven't this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nut Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Public Hunting Land 90% public and 10% private. Funny thing is where I have access to private land the hunting is better on the public lands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RTF Posted December 10, 2004 Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Public Hunting Land Over a thousand acres of public land sit out front of the house and few more thousand of private land sit behind me.

Doc Posted December 10, 2004 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2004 Re: Public Hunting Land [ QUOTE ] I'm assuming you are talking about deer hunting. My numbers change when it comes to small game [/ QUOTE ] Yes I am. Sorry about the ommission. My hunting situation is a bit different than most, in that I own 40 acres that border 640 acres of state land. I would say that I split my hunting about 50-50 between my land and the state land. It is interesting how few people replying are hunting public lands exclusively. I wonder if the percentages on this thread represent the reality of the general hunting population?
