I went the other way... used to be 80% public 20% private, now I'm flopped 80-90% private, 10-20% public

To be determined. Called Joe and he was going to get back to me soon hopefully. I told him I would like to hunt the first week of November if possible.

Just thinking about this I had to chuckle... 90% of my hunting this year was on public, but all 3 bucks shot were on private... The ironic thing about that is hunting the public and leaving the private alone till the time is right is why the private paid off...


That is ironic

I'm about 90 percent public and 10 private. Reason being is the private land I do have access to is small so only allows for a few hunts each season

Both but my scout to hunt ratio is skewed much more towards scouting public in order to weed through a lot and supplement my private land hunting but still give me a chance at a wall hanger. I like scouting almost just as much as hunting and I feel I am much better off for having scouted a lot more on the public.

Both. I own land, have permission on over 3000 acres of other, but still hunt 85% public. Mostly based on shining and scouting. Pressure is less on most of my public haunts. Most private I get access to is junk.

Have been 100% public but now with wolves and back to back extreme winters, my area is decimated. Hunting Montana this year and looking into lease or new public I am checking out when spring comes.
