yea anymore private land is hard to gain access too unless your friends or family. i only hunt my grandfathers and dads place. the buck i shot has a nice main beam drop and lots of character. ill have to look up what pics i posted of him and add a few more.

he was also my first buck with a bow, my second buck ever on top of that. my first came by muzzle loader back in 07 a 120inch 8 point. ive been hunting ever since i can remember and from 07 until last year hadnt really been able to hunt due to being in the military. good luck this year hope you can put a big buck down. learn your topographical maps for public land and steer clear of the crowd that haunts the woods there there have been some big buck taken on public land just have to do homework to get them
