SD Public Land Poll

Non Resident.
Nov Trip: 1-2 days of Private. 2-3 days of public. So we will say 66% public.
Dec Trip: 1 day of private. 2-3 days of public. So we will say 75% public.
Overall 70% public. I've been a pheasant hunter since 2010, then the public land number would have been 100%. Slowly going down each year as I make a few connections for pieces here and there. Would consider myself a public land hunter. In my home state of MN I would say I hunt 1-2 days a week and in the last 4 years I have hunted 2 small pieces of private, the rest public.
 
Nonresident hunter(s); 80%+ on public land. A small percentage on some private land by just going to the same place for over 15+ years and getting to know a few of the local landowners, bringing them fresh walleye from MN
