I never had much luck around LaDue. Like nomad_archer the small game hunter are like a swarm of miskitos when season comes in. I got my tree stand stolen off the public land on rapids road about 2 years ago. I really don't have many public land spots to hunt since most of it gets hit pretty hard. Not far away on Auburn Rd there is a state game land called Auburn orchard. I never really hunted there but, it looks good. I believe there is a map of it on the Public land section of the forum.
