Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both?
I thought it would be interesting to get some poll numbers on what type of land a majority of Beast members killed their bow bucks during their entire hunting career.

Re: Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both.
Most of my bow hunting was done on private land the first 15 years or so. Almost all my hunting is done on public since then. Most of my big ones came from public land.

I have and still do hunt both private and public. Only state I hunt that I dont hunt public is Illinois. Minnesota public land has been real good to me as well as the U.P.

Most of mine have been private. This year is looking different. Ive already planned enough sits on public for 2 weeks. Mixing things up a bit now.

I've killed one on private, and four on public. The last two years I've hunted only public for bow season.

When you asked this is funny, it took me seconds to recall public land bucks 3. I had to think for a few on private 5 or so, I hardly ever Rember the deer from the private land, but the public , oh I went to and back for them all, priceless.

90% public.

You can fool some of the bucks, all of the time, and fool all of the bucks, some of the time, however you certainly can't fool all of the bucks, all of the time.

Re: Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both?
Most of mine have been private I know I have two bow kills on public for sure, maybe more. I have a great private spot that I've done well on but if I have it in 5 years I'll be surprised, so I have been transitioning to the public so I can keep the private fresh and have a lot more spots. I have more satisfaction on the public kills.

Re: Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both?
I've killed bucks on both private and public land. My best and most have come from private, but I believe that's because of the time spent there. Public land here offers some really nice bucks and good hunting but over the years I've put most of my efforts on private land. I have thought over the last couple of years if I would have put as much effort into pulic land, I would have a much larger wall than I do.

Re: Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both?
I've killed more bucks on public land bowhunting. Some of my better bucks were on private. My biggest bowkill was on public! I've never gun hunted on private.

Re: Poll on buck bow kills.... Public, private or both?
I forgot to add when I started the poll.......100% public my whole life. Never hunted or killed a deer anywhere else.
