I'll say it again.. whether you own it or lease it, cherish the private land your on, and If you lease it, treat it better than the landowner ever will..... I miss having good private to myself....

look above ^^^ and you'll see where two F&W areas have plumeted to.... yea, I got a nice buck off a F&W area, but havnt seen an antlered deer there since, and very few AL's either... as a matter of fact, the one I killed was the ONLY antlered beer Ive seen there all season, and Ive been in some choice locations.... very few rubs and very few scrapes and trails look dead... maybe in late season as guys bug out, it will get better ... I doubt it .. they just aint there ...
