I was watching an outdoor show over the weekend. Too damn hot to do much. They were showing how much public land each state had. The 2 that stuck out were. Nevada---86% public land and 14% privately owned. WOW Texas---96% privately owned and 4% public land. You better have someplace lined up to hunt here. How much public land does your home state have?
Well over 90% of land in Illinois is privately owned. Of the public land, only a very small percentage of it is legal to hunt.
Here you go... http://www.nrcm.org/documents/publiclandownership.pdf <--- all states are listed MN only has 17.57% of it's land Public (State & Fed). But that's still 8,952,000 acres... and most of it is up here MN is ranked 17 in the nation by %
I was going to say, KS has almost no public land. Which doesn't bother me, I have never even set foot on any public hunting land. Everything I do is on private land
Yep, hunting is just not the same if you don't stumble across a meth lab and have a bunch of tweekers shooting at you. Public land is so full of surprises. It adds a whole new element. They should call it "extreme hunting."
Northern Mn has plenty of It. Not much though for whitetail hunting on public land In the central part of Minnesota. Mostly duck and pheasant Public land around here but some good marsh's to hunt whitetails In If you can beat the pheasant and duck hunters to It.
