All private

Both. I learned to turkey hunt on state land and have taken some of my best birds there. My friends sister owns over a 100 acres where I've done very well.

Pretty much the same as Alloutdoors for me too. Private owned but most of time the owners let anyone hunt. More pressure than a lot of our public lands. But I know the land better so I just try to deal with it.

70% private and 30% public.
The private farms near my house are small (88 acres & 125 acres), but the surrounding properties get heavy hunting pressure. The public land several counties away is 6,000+ acres where I seldom hear or see another hunter.
Used one tag on private and one on public last Spring.

All public.......but I have some opportunities on private this year for a change.  We'll  see!

I'd say 50/50. I own 125 acres and have about 1000 more private acres I can hunt but I'm also surrounded by 140,000 acres of public land and really enjoy hunting those large tracts of woods.

Mostly private land, sort of a 70/30 split, but lately a lot of other hunters are hunting this "private" land as well. So now I would have to say mostly public.

I hunt both. my lease has 6 turkey hunters on 1300 acres. they hunt like I do , everyday they are not at work. so its got a lot of pressure. I will slip off into some hidden spots on public where I grew up hunting, and still do well. these places require a 2 or 3 mile walk to get to. usually I have it to myself being that far back.

Mostly private in my home state of Michigan.
All public in the other states which include Indiana, Ohio, Missouri, Kansas and South Dakota.

All public.

I have a decent amount of private land to hunt but its mostly smaller patches.  I hit those a lot for quick pre-work hunts.  I hunt a lot of public though and try to find the out of the way spots.  I usually kill more birds on public than I do private.
