WHERE DO YOU HUNT? PUBLIC LAND OR PRIVATE LAND OR BOTH?

[Chordeiles]

All public for the last 30 years, finally acquired some private land to hunt so I plan to go about 80 private and 20 public this spring.

All Public.  The private land I do hunt has open access.

About 90 percent private

99.9% of my turkey hunting is on public.

100% public

After considerable contemplation and the use of my extraordinary math skills which, by the way, are probably beyond the comprehension of most mere mortals,...i.e. I did my guzintas,...I have determined that exactly 93.65% of my turkey hunting is done on public land.

Depends on what I'm hunting. I hunted private land exclusively growing up. When I left home I was forced to hunt public because no one would allow me access. After 9 years of searching a guy let me hunt his place for turkeys only. Small piece and it can be a challenge getting them to cooperate but it happens often enough to keep me going back. 10 years of searching I finally found a good place to deer hunt. At this point, the only public land hunting I do is maybe a day for black powder just to stretch my legs a bit and I squirrel hunt public a lot. It's the only place I can run the dogs without much fear of them ending up in someone's yard.

mostly private for turkey some public locally but I find access for turkeys is much easier to gain than deer in the NE so I have several turkey only properties which helps.

I had a feeling it would be a combo of both for alot of hunters here. If, I ever win the lottery- I would love to buy 400 acres and post it. A dollar and a dream!

100% private.

Seems my home state hunts are 99% private and my out of state hunts are 99% public.

Public.

Both, but always wondering what side of the sign I'm supposed to be on.

Nearly 100% public on turkeys in home state.  Probably 90% deer. And 100% public on ducks when I hunted them.  Public or private used to be my first question when talking to someone hunting Mississippi when I was younger and someone was bragging of how many they killed. 9 times outta 10 they were hunting private.  Just smiled and said 'that's awesome' knowing they'd probably not be very 'elite' when they were thrown to the woods n birds I cut my teeth learning the ways on!

Public 90% of the time
