I hunt private land;some we own but most that I have got permission on.
I have permission to hunt 400 acres of private land in arkansas with 150 being my father in laws that I am the only Hunter on it. I also have permission to hunt about 200 acres of private land in southern Illinois.
Own, lease and public.
Own 162 acres, permission on a couple thousand, and public
public, plantations, and private lands wherever and whenever I'm able.
Private land I have permission to hunt on.

Private land, by permission.
Permission on private, lease and public.
All I hunt is private land, all by myself. :funnyturkey:
Own 109 acres and between my partner and I we have permission on another 3-4,000 acres. Meeting a new landowner next week to get slip signed and walk over his place. Love scouting new farms.
All public for me.
Hunt my own land, on private grounds with permission and I also will hunt public grounds
Own, lease, and hunt with a couple of different outfitters

I hunt public some, family owns several hundred acres too. Public land is more challenging so I find that more attractive yo hunt. The private farms my family own are easier to hunt but I like the challenge of the terrain on public.
Lease and private ground
Mostly public land. I have permission to hunt some private land that is surrounded by about 1,000 glorious acres of turkey heaven, but I can only hunt there if my buddy is with me.
me and dad went in together on a property that and i have permission to hunt most of westmorelands farms
My uncle and I have about 5,000 acre total that we have permission to hunt on in Va. About 125 acres that we own. The good news is it is all within 10 min of home for both of us.
Lease, permission on private, and public. The three major pieces we hunt are within 10 minutes of each other too so on mornings where one is slow, we just skip over to the next. The one we lease is really a steal as he doesn't ask much. My dad has hunted there for longer than I have, and I've been hunting there for 15 years.
I own land but it's only so-so for turkey. I have access to a few farms nearby that are ok. I've built a little turkey hunting paradise on a couple of thousand acres that I've gotten access to in the next county over. It's spread across a half dozen properties and most of the properties are open to anyone that knocks on the door, but it's some of the best turkey hunting I've found in NY. Some of the properties get hit so hard it might as well be public, others I hardly ever see another soul.
I hunt some on public too, but around here most of the public land is at higher elevation, is white pine monoculture, or both. It's generally not very good turkey habitat.
Mostly hunt on my own land but luckily I have permission to hunt some property that is jam up with turkeys.
Mainly public land and door knocking. When I can make it back to MO I hunt the family farm and the in-laws place.
Private with permission
Private farmland my family owns in area with Rio's. Lots of private farmland I have sole permission to hunt....Easterns in this area.
Almost all public I have permission on some private land but I think it gets hunted harder than the public land. Here in Pennsylvania seems like if you can get permission to hunt a property everybody else can to. I like the freedom of public land and having thousands of acre's to hunt rather than a hundred
Permission on a couple thousand private acres
Mostly public land. I am also on a couple small leases (less than 200 acres each), and my father in law has some private land that might as well be public. Out of state it's a mix, but mostly public as well.
I'm on a 5,000 acre mol lease that has a great population, hunt a little bit on public land, and usually get a couple invites to hunt some other private lands each season.
National Forests and WMA in VA.
I have one private piece of land I have permission to hunt. It is small, about 60 acres but prime turkey country and the rest I hunt is public, mostly state forest.
I own just a small amount but do not hunt turkeys there. I lease land in South Alabama and Middle Tennessee for turkey hunting and also belong to a hunting club in South Alabama as the only turkey hunter.
We guide hunters on the leased land in Tennessee. There are more turkeys there than anywhere I have hunted in Alabama.
Mostly public wma's with maybe a couple of days a season on private ground with permission.
When I go to Missouri I hunt on my dad's land.
Here in Kansas I have a combo of private land and public land. Mostly public tho

There's more that hunt on "permission for private" than I would have thought. I've lived and hunted turkey in two states (texas and now Bama) and both of them I've had to get a lease or go public. I wouldnt know what to do if I didnt have to pay to go.... :jackson: OR fight the crowds on public.
I'll get occasional invites to other peoples places but most of the time it's on a lease.
I mostly hunt land that I have leased, but I do have a few small tracts that I have permission to hunt as well.
I hunt my farm or federal and state public land.
Public land and leased land
95% on SC public land. Do get an occasional private land hunt to call for others, sometimes results in a bird or two. I reserve the small amount of private land I have access to for taking my Kids and Dad to gun, usually results in a bird or three for them.
here in North Missouri I hunt on my own land. I go to Nebraska and Kansas and hunt on public land.....Danny
Public and private.
Mostly lease and private. Public occasionally.
Have hunted the same 800 acs. of ground I have leased for over 20 years. This year the owner says he has leased it to some doctors with $ and I can't hunt there any longer, Oh oh. Now I'm back to public ground for awhile , dang :help:!
Primarily public, followed by lease, followed by the occasional permission spot. Very little private land around here that isn't leased for hunting already.
State WMAs, National Forest and club land
