We're not afforded the luxury of much public land in my locale. There isn't any in the county where I reside. There is some in surrounding counties, but crowded doesn't begin to describe the current situation.

I own the land where I live. I hunt there. It wasn't free. I'm also in on a couple of leases. They weren't free either.

If you're going to deer and/or turkey hunt in our region, you'll most likely have to pay in one way or another. Small game and predators are a different story. Lot's of farmers allow access for nothing.

Everybody has a different situation.

I enjoy handguns and I really like shotguns,...but I love rifles!
