Free hunting, so to speak?

[kleine]

I hunt my own ground, I have 48 acres of timber and my dad has 220 of timber and crp. The ground is mostly all connected in a two long mile area. Awsome deer, turkey, pheasant, duck, and goose hunting, trapping, cat and walleye fishing. It has a river running through it. We plant about 10 acres of food plots every year and it really holds the deer and turkeys. The only time I get off our ground is trapping.

How many people here hunt on property that is free from any sort of club fee or lease? Do you hunt public land? Your own land? Land owned by someone else who allows you to hunt without paying a fee? Just curious.

I hunt my own land (20 acres, 17 wooded), my neighbor's land (only one family nearby posts - everyone else shares), state land and some other private lands in the next county. All free and most pretty good deer habitat.

I hunt on my own land, unless I manage to get across the line of my biggest neighbor, The U. S. Forestry Service. :wink:

I live in the Roosevelt national forrest...thousands upon thousands of acres of good public ground to hunt on. I grew up hunting our own small farm in western NY. I also pay a small fee every year to hunt on one of the Indian reservations. I have become friends with my guide and dont mind helping them out in the least.

I hunt on the 60 acre's I'm on for free. If I want to hunt on my neighbor 200 acre's I have to buy a hunting license. For the sportsman license it's $90 and I can hunt anything and fish, In 5 years it will cost me $5, I like Kentucky,,,,

I live in a very rural area. I hunt my own land mostly, for deer, squirrel, rabbits, and dove. I want to raise a few quail and to populate the farm, just haven't gotten around to that yet (gotta get the place right for 'em first).

I can and sometimes do hunt on neighboring properties, so am lucky to have plenty of room to hunt. I also go to a piece of public land that is about 12 miles away. I go there mostly for small game - for deer this place is archery only, and since it's such a long way out from town it gets almost zero hunting pressure.

Same story here. 3/4 of the land in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan is State, Federal or Corporate ownership, all of which is open to the public. Non-Farm private lands are open unless posted closed.

Most all of my hunting is on corporate lands. Some years we will spend part of the December muzzleloader season helping friends fill management antlerless tags on private lands.

Lots of public land here in Arizona. In California my Dad worked for Tejon Ranch and I hunted there as well. They had 450,000 acres of mountain and farm land the employees and family had sections to them selves. We also lived in Northern California, Tulelake, on a homestead when I was young and started hunting the lava beds and fields around us.
