Jeff and I have enjoyed great success on the piece of private ground where we hunt. But we haven t allowed ourselves to become lulled into a false sense of contentment. Along with exploring any and all possibilities of gaining access to other quality private lands, we've continued to hunt public land. Again, I want to emphasize that not all of these other hunting areas, whether private or public, are in close proximity to each other. In fact, if anything, we've become even more mobile these days.
Many trophy hunters have an intense desire to hunt quality areas.
For example, I have an excellent morning setup that's located on public land 35 miles north of my home. And I have a great evening stand-site on a tract of private land 30 miles south of home. So on the days when I decide to hunt these two stands I m logging at least 130 road miles. And that's not counting the extra miles I put on for mid- day scouting. I m always looking for more land to hunt.
