I see some of these guys scoring in tough conditions and see the same guys scoring year after year. Is this because you have a lot of private land or do you hunt public lands? Just wondering. I am 90% public and have struggled some over the past three years. Nothing against private land guys, I am just curious to whether this is a big difference.

I think there is a big advantage for the private land hunter, mainly less pressure on the birds. They don't get "educated" as quickly or at all, depending on thw size of the property and the number of hunters.

Private birds are certainly easier.......not saying that they are "easy" by any means. Like jajwrigh said, less pressure and exposure to callers. You don't have to contend with mushroom hunters moving the birds as well as the masses of hunters......... And, when a gobbler decides to go on a gobbling rampage as the hunter you can tailor your approach and setups to best harvest the bird.........NOT a rush to be the first hunter on the bird before everyone else that heard it sound off tries to beat you to it.

I hunt private property, but it is surounded on three sides by Morgan-Monroe state forest. I usually run into someone during the season on the southside of the property. They think they're on the forestry, which is understandable, but I've put up signs and they still come.
