Wow, seems like a lot of land is being snatched up by various lease holders, etc.   A few years ago the land we hunted, owned by a timber company, started charging money for trespass fees.  This year the land we hunted for the past three years is now posted by some lease holders.  Don't have a lot of time to scout/find new areas in the offseason.  Have to stick to game lands/national forests, etc. or hunt the little tracts of woods near suburbia.  It's a little disappointing.

Don't forget state forests, state parks, and the Game Commission has some public access programs. Try this link.


Sucks losing your spot though.

Game lands always worked for me , but as in any place like you say got to scout it out . I found my core area years ago by still hunting . Think of it as a long term investment , rather than a short term .It will pay dividends .
