OK folks, here is a question for you all, or any that are still about, since its so slow here!

I been thinking this over
I have hunted alot over the yrs, in alot of states
in most of the states I hunted, including my own, I started in public lands, and I have killed a lot of deer and other game animals on public lands
but then as I got older, I found I tend to stick to private lands for hunting
and I feel this is a common trend
my last 2 trips out of state, were all done on public lands, even with access to private lands,, just due to the crops that were more abundant on the public lands, plus just seen more sign, so that was where I hunted
I personally feel, the main reason, I went to accessing private lands was to have more control over the food source's, making food plots and such, and having the ability to lave ladderstands up, and not having top use a portable(got lazy)
so was wondering, what is the main reasons you prefer private/lease lands?
I know having lands here in PA, I have exclusivly to myself, and I know I have tons of trespassers, so, having this all to myself, does really work out as expected
and in many of the lease's land rentals I have had in other states, I find this a common problem, with locals, trespassing at will, and or folks just walking in
something I know so many hate about public lands
but to be honest, I personally find its not much of a difference between private and public, as for trespasers/folks walking in, and or killing deer you have been passing on!
MY biggest reason I guess would be costs, I spend a ton of money on trying to better my hunting grounds, so that is why I guess I prefer to have private lands here, I also really enjoy working the land and making food plots and seeing the results, almost more than actually killing a big buck any more! I just enjoy seeing it all pan out!

so again
what are your main reasons for needing/wanting private lands/lease? over public lands?
