Public Land Hunting
Hunting has always been a blue collar sport.
In recent years hunting has evolved into a
money game, often pricing average hunters
out of the equation. Property owners now
value hunting land and the deer that call
that land home more than they have in the
past. Lease prices have doubled, even
tripled and hunters are having trouble
finding quality land to hunt. Public land is
often laughed at in many hunting camps
and many refuse to hunt it. This is a huge
mistake. Through habitat stamps and
license fees, you have paid for this land.
You might as well use it. As long as you
follow the rules, no one can deny you
access and you will always have a place to
hunt. Those of you who turn your nose up
at public land whitetail hunting, pay
attention to the next few paragraphs. That
is, if you are still reading.
