3 private and a bunch of public land.

No private areas but about 50 spots on public lands. I live in central Louisiana with access to the Kisatchie National Forest, Fort Polk and Peason Ridge. Several good areas only 15 min. from my home.

Here in CO, I have thousands of acres of NF available to me, tough to narrow that down to a number of "spots".  So far I've hunted about 6 areas here, but even those can't be narrowed down to what I would consider a "spot".  The area I spent most of my time in last year will continue to be my go to area unless the number of birds or number of hunters changes.

Back home in IL, I have 5 or 6 private spots that I check regularly because they hold birds, but could bail out onto some other farms if a bird showed up there.  All of those spots have other local boys on them, so my rights aren't exclusive, and they aren't huge tracts of land.  Then I have the Shawnee NF which covers 280,000 acres, although I'm limited to the county my tag is drawn for.  Usually that is Pope and it probably has 1/3 of that within its boundaries.  I've been, at a minimum, through most of the areas, but my hunting is usually done in the southern region of it and I couldn't begin to narrow that to a "spot".  I'll hunt anywhere within its boundaries that I hear a turkey sound off weather I've been there before or not.

If you live anywhere near a national forest, and you claim to have only one spot..........your missing out on a lot of opportunity.

Lost access to a couple so right now one primary that may see timber cutters this spring and three other fall backs that could produce.

Couple of private places and there's plenty of public land in MS even though I don't use it.
