There is an awful lot of public hunting land in Florida. A lot. State run WMAs, several National Forests, and State Forests.
There are also a lot of hunters, and on public lands, it is always a crowded, dangerous mess.
I have spent much of my life hunting public land. I have been pretty successful as well. It is always a hassle, with quotas on the number of hunters allowed, times and dates, reporting issues.
This year, I will be hunting on land my son bought. Not a lot of acres, but there won't be anyone else there. There are several other farms in the area I can, and do hunt.
