Great post as I am a Public Lands Turkey Hunter. Last year was a tough one-- but I got my 2 New York Gobblers--. Hiker spooked a bird on me in New Jersey. All good though. Wish I knew how to post pics. 29th Spring coming up this late April in NJ. Only 3 times for me on Private Lands so far. Up to 115 wild turkeys-- all kinds in PA,NJ, and NY-Spring and Fall. My goal is to one day take my very first Private Land Gobbler.

These are great pictures! I'm afraid our public land is under greater threat than ever and hope everyone will stay informed and be active in protecting our public lands.

Guess I'm lucky cause I never get these posts. I live in NJ, not a destination state by any means. I have a decent amount of private land to hunt. It's not exclusive though, least most of it isn't. I believe it's actually easier to hunt public property. It's where I key in on more and more. I'd bet I'm 50/50 with public/private land harvests. So many less guys on the public land (like almost no one) though not the ease of walking of most farms. That may be the draw
