Granted, they were talking turkeys, but I'm sure it's the same for deer. And since there is so little huntable public land, the private land owners charge a premium. I have zero doubt that it is more cost effective for them to come up your way.

I need to find some private land owners around my neck of the woods, though. The GWNF is so pressured for deer that we have tighter bag restrictions than some other areas, and we also have CWD on its way to us.

I also have no problem helping thin out some does. I'm in it for the meat, anyway.

With Land Between the Lakes and thousands of additional acres in wildlife refuges, we're overrun with deer here. I don't want to say game wardens turn a blind eye to tag limits in the area, but you don't hear of anyone getting in trouble for it.
