Public or Private what do you hunt most?

All public.

So far, it's all been private. I'm looking at the possibility of trying some public land in Maryland this year though. Just depends on how it all works out on the piece of private ground I've got access to over there. The club I belong to has a rather large chunk of ground. The last the website was updated said something like 45-55 thousand acres but that's been some time ago. It's probably closer to 70k at this point but I'm not certain about that. Anyway, there's enough members that it may as well be public land at times. My buddy and I hunt it fairly frequently for turkeys and have done well there. It's often a matter of getting away from the truck. Never really did much of that until I started hunting with him. Now, we just get out and go different directions. With all the ate traffic, it can be hard to get away from people at times. One just has to get out and go though.

60/40 private/public.  Success rate?  90/10 private/public.  I think a lot of that has to do with the small tracts I hunt require more patience and less moving around.  I stick it out longer.  I have started sticking it out longer on public and have been in the game a lot more often.  I have bounced around a lot and it really helps me to learn the lay of the land and I am getting more knowledge about the public land I am now hunting.  Easier to call a bird where he already wants to be.  At least for me.
