Slayer, I always hunt public around the Mitchell area. Have been on the high dollar hunts where you shoot the limit for a dozen hunters 30 mins after season opens at noon, but just does nothing for me. Much rather hunt the public areas with my dogs. Last year I waited too late to decide where to go and could not get a room. Went and hunted about 3 areas and after getting my limit, had to drive around for the remainder of the day to get a room. Trying to avoid that this year. Thanks for advise, good hunting and safe driving.
